| Sneak Peak into the Future of Crisis and Recovery – 2012 and Beyond Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory Barring the market getting slammed by another economic crisis, Crisis and Recovery consulting will begin to decline from its 2010 peak in 2011. The question asked by many is, what will happen to practices that expanded in an effort to meet increased demand? Or to those that entered or re-entered the market attracted by comparatively abundant opportunity? Kennedy portends that the market will continue to be dominated by the seven practices that dominate the landscape in 2009. With the exception of Zolfo Cooper, these firms are far ahead of all of the others in being able to deliver global services. Even alliances, like the Begbies Traynor Network, which will tie together some boutique firms on a global basis, will not be able to compete in terms of level of sophistication and coordination. A Distinctive Change in Global Consulting Market Growth Patterns Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory Critical research by Kennedy analysts indicates that, going forward, the global consulting market growth patterns will more closely follow GDP than they have in the past. This long-term trend is a result of market maturation. Beyond 2010 it will be difficult for the overall global consulting market to outpace GDP. Come 2012, forecasted growth rates for GDP and consulting vary only by 0.2%. This is in stark contrast to the downturn of 2002; only seven years ago, the consulting revenues plummeted by 6% compared to GDP, which grew 3.1%. Business Analytics Get More Attention From Consultants IBM is placing great emphasis on analytics, which, according to practitioners, provides the ability to offer the “100% solution” based on a complete analysis of all relevant information. [More…] Differing Approaches to Building Consulting Capabilities Leading Indian firms Infosys and Tata signal different strategies for consulting. Sustainability Is About More Than Doing the Right Thing – Consulting Must Yield Results Management Consultant International Sustainable behaviour can yield many benefits. Whatever the objectives, measurement is critical. As consultants are fond of saying, you cannot manage what you do not measure. Retailers Must Adapt to Changing Consumer Behaviour Management Consultant International As consumers change their buying habits, retailers must respond if they are to prosper. Those that have lost customers must find ways to win them back. It will also be necessary to take steps to retain newly won customers. And those experiencing narrower margins because shoppers have been chasing discounts must find ways to remain profitable. |
“We have always tried to reward our top earners with experiences that are amazing and unique,” said Julie Nelson, Director of Events for Agel. “Since the highest level of achievement for sales is the Diamond Director, we thought it would be inspirational this year to reward star performers with actual diamonds.”
The company, which markets its health and beauty gel products through distributors in more than 40 countries, gathers its sales force once a year for a worldwide convention in Salt Lake City. Agel flies in top sellers and treats them to a black tie dinner and surprise activity. This fall, Agel handed out certificates worth varying amounts determined by achievement to 28 couples as O.C. Tanner opened the doors of its new flagship jewelry store for a private evening of luxury and elegance. In addition to selecting personal rewards from the finest jewelry and watches, Agel distributors were also honored to be the first to preview the new O.C. Tanner jewelry store location.
“Tonight is one of the best nights of my life,” said Niti Sawangsap, from Thailand, who was rewarded the most money to spend. “All I can say is, ‘Wow.’” Sawangsap chose to spend his $30,000 on a limited Rolex Everose Daytona watch for himself and diamond earrings for his wife.

Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.
Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it...don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?
Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.
Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, hat means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
And remember:
'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'
AND.....
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
A woman has apparently been sacked after abusing her boss on Facebook - forgetting that he could read her comments because they were friends on the networking website.
Yes the Facebook conundrum.
Many employees will get to a point where they will think twice before updating their status or posting their thoughts.
Because, with online life, you can leave the physical office and your boss once your day ends, but virtually they can be all around you.
In fact, IBM interestingly has posted an interesting presentation called Identity Management For IBMers On Facebook.
You can find it here:

It shows basic privacy settings and what you can do to make your facebook experience unlike the lady in the news report
