Does anybody knows when is Shopify going to behave as an ERP?
Things like:
Programs evolve as all in life, mainly because the different phases of a program requires different skills, teams, and resources. We go from a high degree of ambiguity in the inception phase, progressing and gaining shape during the definition, moving to a delivery mode during the execution and “get the job done” during the closing.
In some major programs, you can change the people leading the program organization to reinforce the skills required for each phase with the best profiles of the organization. In the majority of the cases there are not changes, but the organization and its leadership have to adopt different attitudes/styles depending on the phase of the program. This is important because we have to be able to change the pace of the program and transmit to the rest of the teams that the focus changes.
Position and move are essential information you need to put in place a strategy. The strategy is put in place through attacking and defensive actions.
In this case, the customer wants to reduce the number of vendors on IT space. We have classified the different vendors depending if they are tier-1, tier-2, tier-3. The picture below represents a small tier-3.
We have tried to represent the capabilities of these small tier-3 vendors and the way we will attack them, or put actions in place to defend against them.
Basketball is a team game, and this situation (customer/vendor) is also a game which requires to the whole team to work together.
Every game is different, as the opponent is different (for a tier-1 vendor, you should play the game differently).
Your actions has to be defined with respect your own capabilities and taking into account the strengths of your opponent.
Basketball is a statistical game too, so play with numbers and calculate how you will win-lose this game with the proposed strategy. You will lose some possessions (regulation, a long term contract you cannot cancel…), but will you win the game? For instance 3-points shoots is pure mathematics:
Professional basketball coaches are playing with these numbers to win games.
Cranfield University did a research related to behavioral attributes of the leaders when working on programs. The summary table of this research is added to the Managing Successful Programs book.
Attitude and aptitudes of leaders are summarized in a scale from 1 to 4, where 4 represents more awareness and capacity to lead the complexity of the programs. The research is focused on programs, but it’s perfectly applicable on other areas.
Twitter just announced that they are removing the 140 characters for direct messages. To me as user this means they become a clone of Facebook. Which of the main things you do in Facebook cannot be done in Twitter?
Facebook did a move adding the possibility of replying to replies, so the replies are more organized.
Facebook usage seems to be declining in terms of people entering direct messages; people attach pictures, videos, links… In twitter there are pictures, links… but people write more (at least the people I follow). By this reason I started to pay more attention to twitter than to Facebook.
the amount of “Likes” is high in both platforms, it’s easy and cheap for people to click on “like” or the small star.
With this move, the battle continues to attract users, traffic, relevancy… Twitter investors are starving of revenue, let’s see how the new CEO plays the game.
I need to remind this “how to”; when LN client fails after entering the password it is because something weird is happening in the cache.
You can remove Cache.NDK and, at least in my case, it worked.
I found this picture in this web, and I personally find it very funny.
Things as “this bottle of milk can contain milk” makes me laugh about how stupid human race can be.
