About "Business process consulting is an invaluable but underused service" topic:
Process
consulting is a powerful tool which is used to enhance group
effectiveness, shorten meeting times, and address conflict. It helps
teams to work together more effectively, and its effects can last long
after the consultant has departed.
The benefits of process consulting are usually:
- Shorter meetings.
- More productive meetings.
- Better decisions.
- Increased feelings of participation or potency.
- Greater satisfaction with the team or meetings.
Process
consulting is carefully intervening in a group or team to help it to
accomplish its goals. The consultant does not try to help the team as
an expert; instead, the consultant helps the team to help itself.
These
skills used in process work are quite different from those used in
"expertise-based" consulting, because the consultant must:
- Concentrate on the way the team works, rather than what it is working on.
- Stay silent even when issues s/he knows or cares about are discussed.
- Ask questions instead of offering expert advice.
- Help the team solve its own problems.
- Not make value judgements or deal with content issues.
- Understand group dynamics, conflict resolution, and manager/leader development.
Process
consulting also requires a client who is aware of their problems, and
who is willing to listen and change some habits if needed. In some
ways, process consulting is as difficult for the client as it is for
the consultant, because they must put aside any natural defensiveness
and temporarily yield their authority in some ways. However, the
rewards far outweigh the efforts and risks.
Overall, process consulting is an invaluable but underused service which requires an experienced consultant.

Many companies are turning to a new kind of enterprise resource planning software. This new model is much more affordable, provides faster return on investment, is easier to implement across an enterprise, provides superior connectivity and is highly configurable. Browser-based, open-source ERP applications hold many advantages over the traditional legacy based software systems of the past. They are easier to modify and customize, for one. This ease of configurability opens up the door to agility - changing the software system to take advantage of new opportunities or changes in the market for optimal positioning. The software can change as quickly as the company can. This new type of ERP is not "open source" in the usual sense of the term. The meaning of open source for this type of application is that the source code is modifiable, but not available to the general public. It is modifiable by the provider or the individual buyer. This is advantageous to buyers with IT resources...

It is relatively easy to identify the use count and resource usage of your SP’s, but first let me discuss how SQL Server maintains the execution statistics. The SQL Server engine keeps execution statistics for each SQL Server 2005 instance. Execution Statistics are an accumulation of execution information about what has been run since the instances has started. Each time an instance is stopped and restarted all execution statistics are reset. Individual execution statistics for an object are tied to cached execution plans. When a SP is compiled, an execution plan is cached in memory. These cached execution plans are uniquely identified by a plan_handle. Since memory is limited, SQL Server from time to time will remove execution plans from memory, if the cached plan is not being actively used. Therefore the statistics stored for a particular SP maybe for an accumulation of stats since SQL Server started, if the SP has only be compiled once. Or, it may only have statistics for the...

Nicholas Carr's article "IT Doesn't Matter" (Harvard Business Review, May 2003) challenges the value proposition for IT. He argues that as companies become more dependent on IT for their day-to-day operations, so the emphasis switches to managing availability, reliability and security. As such, businesses should manage IT as a commodity. Do you subscribe to the Carr view? Do you align IT with the business in a purely supportive role? But innovations within IT continue to create possibilities and options for businesses that did not exist before. But where IT engages the business, pro actively and as an equal, companies will be able to continue to deliver strategic advantage through IT. The following will be useful in assessing the level of business engagement: - to whom does the IT function report in your business? For example, the Board (where the CIO/IT director is a Board member), the CEO (who has a business development focus), the COO (who has a business operations focus) or the...

Some jokes happened while calling to customer care. Customer: Hi, this is Celine. I can't get my diskette out. Tech support: Have you tried pushing the Button? Customer: Yes, sure, it's really stuck. Tech support: That doesn't sound good; I'll make a note. Customer: No, wait a minute... I hadn't inserted it yet... it's still on my desk... Sorry.... Tech support: What kind of computer do you have? Female Customer: A white one... Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen. Customer: Your left or my left? Tech support: Good day. How may I help you? Male Customer: Hello... I can't print. Tech support: Would you click on "start" for me and... Customer: Listen pal; don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates. Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it......
