    Measuring Lean Results In Healthcare
    Over the last couple years, we have been working with Healthcare organizations to adapt Lean to their complex processes in laboratory and hospital environments. Predictably, there was much skepticism from Clinicians and administrators alike - and rightly so. They were perfectly justified in asking - 'how does a thinking that grew mainly out of the automotive industry apply to the healthcare environment?'The answer is, 'it applies perfectly'.But giving an answer like that does not (and should not) convince all healthcare providers t

    How to Utilize Classified Ads in Narrow Market Publications
    Trying to find the best newsletters or magazines to place classified ads can be a daunting task. By far the best place to run classified ads is in those places your potential customers are looking for the kind of classified ad you are running.In most cases, this will be in small, narrow market, subject specific newsletters. These are the kind of newsletters that people subscribe to for in-depth information on a single topic. And generally, they are read cover-to-cover.Research has shown that people who subscribe to these ty
    Recently I was interviewed by Marketing Magazine, a local magazine in Singapore that keeps close tabs on the marketing strategies companies of all sizes use to reach out to their consumers. I thought that this is an excellent case study of how important positioning, branding and marketing are for your business.

    For their feature story on Branding, the magazine asked for my comments on Creative Technology’s (renowned for its sound card and MP3 players, and most recently for its legal tussle with Apple) branding efforts. While I’m a fan of Creative, I have to say that their branding leaves much

    The Power of Belief
    There is no surer guarantee of personal or business success than the power of belief. But belief is not something that happens to you. It is a conscious choice you make and, when combined with knowledge of what you do best, it gives you unshakeable confidence and profound focus.One of the key character traits of entrepreneurs is the power of belief grown from self-knowledge and the ability to understand the world of the problems they seek to solve. Entrepreneurs are no less risk-averse than anybody else. The difference is they choose thei

    Creating Attention Grabbing Headlines
    Headlines play a crucial role in the success of your business. Your subject line must get your prospect interested enough to read your copy! An effective headline, whether in an email, ad or book, will literally force your potential customers to want to learn more.There was a book, for example, titled "The Art of Controversy" which was not selling very well. The author changed the title to "How to Argue Logically". The sales shot up to 30,000. Nothing else was changed in the whole book! This is the power of a good headline!So, how

    TRY Before You BUY
    Advertising is a necessity in business. You must inform people about your goods or services. However, there are many forms of incentive advertising which can be employed to promote sales. And in some cases the cost is very small.The small business proprietor who is often dwarfed by the giant super stores who carry a massive variety and quantity of products to attract customers has to constantly think up unique strategies to draw customers to avoid being swallowed up by the whales of the business world.In the suburb where we live

    Medical Billing - NSF or UB-92
    It is no longer a question in the medical billing community of what the best method of sending claims is. Electronic billing has numerous advantages over sending paper claims including ease of transmission, lower cost, faster turnaround time and a number of other advantages. But what about the type of electronic format? The main ones today are NSF 3.01 and UB-92. So what's the difference and is one better than another? Which one should you use? Does it make a difference? Will using one format over another give you more headaches in the lo

In particular, comparing the arch rivals of Creative Tech’s MP3 players vs. Apple’s iPod, it is easy to see where Creative’s branding efforts had gone wrong. Below is a simple comparison of its rival’s branding moves.
