Productivity

Politics; the art of stopping an opponent from achieving any success, while in Government, which can be used to win the next election, seems to be a natural enemy to Productivity; a comparison of output, measured by revenue, in relation to inputs, inclusive of, capital and work. The aim is to improve overall Productivity, within main sectors and vital industries, fueling economic growth; to service and repay debt, to create new jobs and investment opportunities, while meeting budgetary obligations and hence, to improve standards of living across the board.

Rental Apartments

Economic research reported by international news outlets, all suggest that apartments located in major cities are well beyond the financial reach of persons working in those cities, resulting in long daily commutes, expanding city limits, growing ghettos surrounding the city centres and, as a further result, opportunities for those historical real estate owners to profit from the development of rental accommodations. When an average office city worker has to travel for over an hour, it is time to relocate that operation and the answer always seems to be, just outside the city limits, naturally moving operations, converting slumps into industrial and commercial parks with middle class housing units. The opportunity is for the previous owners in that location to sell or develop.

Implementation

No matter how sound the plan, with a well thought out, ambitious and anticipated vision, a strong, clear, measurable and attainable mission, and executive directives tracking projected, stated and promised improvement in standards of living, it is the enactment and resulting performance which judges success. It is the permanently employed personnel that are charged to implement such change policies. It is a well designed process that instructs and maintains order. It is efficient communications to transmit work orders and receives prudent progress reports. It is the original strategic plan or the initial scope of work, with limited changes, which starts and controls progress. Recognizing, however that numerous examples of failed implementation exist, as repeatedly mentioned in executive summaries and budget statements year after year after year.

Thoughts, Opinions & Decisions

The average person, in a functioning democracy, gets to make Decisions that will affect us all. Such an individual, no matter their level of formal education, will form Opinions on and about a variety of topics, character of persons and the public’s ability to accept changes. These persons, interested in learning and progressing, will listen to others, who are perceived to have intimate knowledge and are in a position of trust, to guide their Thoughts. And so we all should, but no one voice can be constantly right across all topics, so we must seek out and find the best and most knowledgeable voices on each issue, before lending our own.

No small BUSINESS

For numerous years, I have stated that size, Big or Small, does not matter in terms of business success. Back in the 1980's while delivering many talks on starting your own business, the mainstream media called such advice; becoming self employed or managing a small business. In the 1990's Government programs adopted the most commonly known titles; small business grants and loans, to promote its socioeconomic assistance. By the decade of 2000, I truly believed that it was much more widely accepted that a strong plan with sound market fundamentals and correctly calculated financial projections addressing relevant risks, was the root to determining the most efficient size and model of business operation and would lead to eventual success. In addition, 2010 I founded the Society for Entrepreneur and Economic Development (SEED) to better understand and support business growth. 2011, I leant my skills to structure a Governmental initiative; Enterprise Development through Business Incubation Policy Document, to incubate ideas into industries.
