OASIS ( The fertile part of the desert )

There is no company on the planet that does not face major competition ultimately resulting in a need for transformation. It happened to GE in the 80s, IBM in the 90s and now Cisco in this decade along with many others in the industry and every segment of manufacturing over the past 100 years. There is nothing that will stop company transformation for the next century given the nature of business and competition is and has been changing for decades and will continue to do so. Most companies take a leap of faith and believe technology transformation is the only solution, while others believe transformation is like a marathon and may take 10 years to execute. These strategies all have been proven wrong because strategy without proper execution is like a hallucination. It happened with Western Union in the 50s and 60s, they did not transform for 2-3 decades and their business shrank until they realized how much and how soon they need to execute transformation. In addition, board memb...

Some business principles come and go. A company I worked for started so many game-changing transformational programs and then, like a disgraced member of the Politburo, quickly abandoned and airbrushed them out of our corporate history so we could start yet another “business-critical” program that would be abandoned. We referred to them as the “acronym of the month.” Fortunately, there are some business principles you can use forever: 1. Look past the messenger and focus on the message. When people speak from a position of power or authority or fame, it's tempting to place greater emphasis on their input, advice, and ideas. Warren Buffett? Yep, gotta listen to him. Sheryl Sandberg? Yes. Richard Branson? Absolutely. That approach works to a point–but only to a point. Really smart people strip away all the framing that comes with the source–both positive and negative–and evaluate information, advice, and input idea based solely on its merits. When Branson says, “Screw ...

He dresses neat, looks handsome, and always talk with a aura of pride, people always want to listen to him and he makes friends and "friends" quite easily.He is the perfect sales person. Many a times we wonder why we are not making those sales,why our company is lagging, why we fail to get those contracts and we are the only ones at the bottom of our industrial table. Most times (I did not say all the time oh), it is due to the way we communicate with the other person(corporate organization do have faces) We have to command the attention of the other person not in a superior complex but in a gentle manner. You give all your attention like you are making love and the outcome of that dialogue is your much anticipated baby. We communicate with our dress, the way you talk, walk, gesticulate even with the eyes. You will have to learn to do it like James Bond. Then I tell you even the devil will listen when you tell him to shut up. Communication is when you speak all the g...

Today, I woke on the high side of the bed and feeling like am on top of the world (its been a while)...and going through the speedy week, I just felt there are lots of unfinished business that I just have to attend to(one of which is this) I suddenly remember that I will be alone in the office for a while which also have happened in a long while and as such I will have the time to do a lot of things that I have not done in a while like writing.....hmmmm was that why I felt funky while waking up in the first place...I might continue to ramble all day but my point is simple. Going to bed on a positive mood will have a positive impact on the next morning. Forget about the nagging boss, The driver that got you home late, The customer that spoil your day with a bad comment or the Kids  messing your private table up...put all negativities off your mind and look forward to a brighter day, One with a million prospect and possibilities waiting for you to harvest and process for the benefit...
