Your career (and your business) is not a 6 lane highway where you can keep speeding in a single direction. It is a curvy road that throws up a lot of unexpected situations. Economic downturns, changes in demand/supply and such uncertainties. You cannot control any of these situations, but how you respond to them is totally in your control. One thing is clear: We need to get comfortable with chaos.

How long do you think a manager would keep his or her job if he failed to make a profit? The answer is, usually not too long. It's an issue I addressed in this latest story for Gannett/USAToday. Managers are supposed to focus on the bottom line, but new research suggests that kind of focus that may end up costing companies in the long run. That gets everyone more focused on power," says Steven Blader , associate professor of management and organizations at NYU. Unfortunately, the sluggish economy may make such a task even more difficult. We're not trying to create a popularity contest.

I''ve just finished delivering a training course on Fusion Functional Setup Manager. We''ve been doing these courses for some time now, but this week we used a version 4 (RUP3) environment. FSM is a fundamental component in Fusion Applications, and as such it hasn''t changed much since the original releases of Fusion. There are a few subtle changes in Version 4, and sometimes, it is the little things that matter. Take for example the assignment of tasks to implementation consultants. This is something that the project manager does via FSM. Nice work, Oracle! FSM Fusion Applications

It''s also a reminder to any smartypants amongst us not to act like Mooka. Vanessa is a horse and Martin is a pig but everyone calls them twins.

From a purely commercial viewpoint, it''s good publicity, but from an altruistic viewpoint it''s sharing knowledge for the good of us all. There are two conferences I will be speaking at in the next few weeks. First up is the Criminal Justice Management forum on 19/09/12. This event takes place at the QE2 Conference Centre in London and brings together leading thinkers from across the sector.

Employers are always looking for ways to cut costs.  Be aware, however, that it can be easy to make risky decisions on how to classify your employees.  Whether it is with existing employees or additions to staff, be sure you are making informed decisions on what category your employees should be in and why. We understand that with these challenging times, business owners try to find as many ways as possible to control costs. Many are not aware that there are risks in making the wrong decision, even if it is out of “ignorance”. We all know that when it comes to the law, ignorance is no defense.
