1. Accountants / Lawyers Do Yourself a Favor - What do Your Customers Want?
   In my day to day practice in strategic human resource management I often come across customers looking for a 'good' accountant or 'good lawyer'. As an accountant myself the common thread for a 'good acountant or lawyer' seems to be 'I want someone who can explain things in plain english without the jargon'. This simplicity of service and communications can grow your business and ensure that you never need to look for more work! And the sad fact is that there are many practioners that just don't deliver.So what makes a 'good accountant / lawyer'? People from all walks of life are looking for someone they can trust with their hard earnt money and that gives advice that can be understood. They aren't interested in Part IVA, debt defeasance, estopel and other industry terms or jargon and they are willing to pay for the service.From Professionals to Blue Collar Workers it is a common question that I am asked 'Where can I go for common sense advice, where can I go and who can I trust?Sadly, even amongst the largest service firms to the private practitioner there appears to be a dearth of pratical practitioners.More information at http://www.biz-momentum.comWhere are they you ask? Where indeed!The sad fact is that many hide behind their memberships and qualifications. Before you think this is all esoteric may I remind you that I am a qualified accountant and a bele

1. Beginners Guide to IT Audit Jobs - What IT Auditors Do
   If you are new to IT auditing it’s important to understand how the process works, what its aims are and how they are achieved.For an IT auditor they must firstly understand the business. While a company’s business model might not at first seem connected to their computer network, in many ways it is. How they run their business should be reflected in their IT provision. Two businesses operating in the same sector may well be selling the same products, to the same customers, but they might interact with their systems in completely different ways. You might rely on certain aspects more; a failure in that area could be far more significant for you than it would be for a competitor or vica versa.It’s also important to understand the threats to the company. By understanding the risks, an IT auditor is better able to assess the situation and make recommendations. You would need to understand the company’s vulnerabilities and its dependencies to truly understand the threats. To many people they may see their only IT threat as that of hackers. Some people may overestimate the risk assuming an illuminati of hackers of plotting to bring down their website or internal network. There are indeed risks of such a threat but what would motivate the action? If this kind of threat were to materialise it might be because of an ethically questionable competitor, yet it’s not hugely common. It is the job of the IT auditor to assess this risk, understand the cur

1. Are You Training or Ticking the Box?
   A higher proportion of money is wasted on training which is inappropriate or just downright poor than almost any other corporate expense. I have seen organisations make the same mistakes with training all over the world. Here are my top ten.#1 There is never any follow up! Training which imparts a skill or knowledge which is not reviewed or used within seven days is remembered by only thirty three percent of people. After sixty three days it is only 14%. Training which is reviewed or used directly in a job is remembered by 83% of people after seven days and 70% of people after 63 days. It is the old story, use it or lose it!#2 Training is boring. Training which includes no interaction between the trainer and the participants or does not engage the participants is likely to fail. The first process in memory is ATTENTION! If the participant is not paying attention, the probability of remembering anything is very low. Training is not solely about subject knowledge; the trainer must have a personality and be able to talk with people at their level.#3 Training, presentation style, was never appropriate in the first place! Often the resources used for training about theory, including the opportunity cost of participants, could be used for developing a series of small workshops and mentoring to actually resolve a problem rather than learn theory. The learning is held for much longer because people are doing and getting feedback rather than

1. Networking is the Key to Star Performance in Everything You Do.
   Many people's idea of networking relates to the 'size of their Christmas Card List, rather than the quality of their relationship with each person on that list. Similarly those people network, but few reap the rewards of zeroing in on their potential.  Here are some ideas to help fill the gap between where you are now and where you can be. 1 Be Generous - Give without expectations and you will be surprised at how it returns to you. It may not come from the same source but a new client, referral, or opportunity will show up because of your efforts. 2 Be Consistent - As in marketing, the more consistent your networking efforts the more productive they become. 3 Gift your contact - Imagine you are buying your contact a gift for their work - what might it be? Understanding what your contact is looking for is the key to developing rapport and mutual understanding. 4 Get Involved - Getting involved puts you in a consistent position of visibility. It allows you to retain 'Top of Consciousness' positioning and when people need someone your name will spring to mind. 5 Be a Powerful Resource & Facilitator for Others- Expand your network and facilitate for others. Use your networking resources to bridge people you know with others. What goes around comes around. 6 Learn the Needs of Others then Help Fill Those Needs - Can your business fill their needs? Who do you know who can? Either way you have a win/win situa

1. A Business Meta - Fore
   Many professional golfers go on to develop successful and significant business interests. Greg Norman is a standout example of this. Many senior business leaders play golf at a high level. This link between success at golf and successful business may not be coincidental, the attributes required for both are very similar. Consider the following.Applying FundamentalsChampion golfers spend hours getting the fundamentals right. They call this practicing. Very few golfers become champions without establishing the right grip, shoulder turn and stance. These fundamentals are developed and harnessed with extraordinary rigour. Still fewer champion golfers spend their time ‘reinventing the wheel’. Reverse grips and broomstick putters were an evolution in the game aimed at overcoming ‘the yips’ not a means of improving putting.Business also relies on fundamentals – the fundamentals of doing the job right. Whether the function is operations, marketing, administration or finance there are fundamental good practices that should be applied. Champion businesses rigorously adopt known good practice to their individual situation.StrategyNo champion golfer would approach a tournament without first understanding the layout of the course, knowing the various distances, where the hazards are and probably having played the course before. For every hole a strategy is determined before stepping onto the tee. Th
