How can we buy time? |
|
|
Whenever I meet my friends, colleagues or acquaintances, the phrase I hear most often is “I don’t have time”, regardless the context or the mode in which one says it. Each one of us uses it when we refuse an old friend, a colleague and even ourselves. Just count how many times you said “I don’t have time” the last week, whether it was about your profession or about going to theater, to a movie or to a concert, denying yourself a pleasant thing or something that you wanted to do for a long time.
it.

Case study
IT Function Transformation |
|
The business environment evolved due to the enhancement of the organizations’ complexity and as a consequence of the technological impact upon business, which led the managerial practices to become more and more IT reliant, the coordinating activity within IT processes of a company receiving complex features, hard to manage and measure.
Thus, as an IT manager, the mere administrative coordination of the department does not ensure success in your activity. Moreover, the similarity between the recent title of CIO with the already common CEO opens an even larger perspective on the significance of this role in the organizations of the 21st century.

Consultant opinion
The Invoice: Cost or Profit? |
|
Surely, you are wondering how much printing invoices can cost. A simple calculation, which should take into consideration the necessary human, material and financial resources, could identify significant costs, deducted from the average client profit, that can reduce or even eliminate the income. Furthermore, there are also indirect costs, following the so-called invoicing process such as further manipulation and long term storing of invoices.
Is the invoicing process a mere accounting issue? The larger the number of invoices is, the bigger the number of resources involved in the alleged process.

Market analysis
Do I really need consultants? |
|
This is one of the first questions that comes to the minds of managers who have a hard time managing their business. Well, the first answer they think of is “no, the business I’m doing takes a well-known course, there is nothing special obstructing my way through and I can solve my problems with my own in-house resources and competencies anyway”. But afterwards, when they have analysed the costs and efficiency of the solutions that may have been implemented, the answer becomes “yes, I do”. Whether consulting is or is not needed, to what extend and for what particular area was something that FEACO and AMCOR tried to figure out at European level and at national level, respectively.
