LinkedIn CEO, Jeff Weiner, recently shared his list of the 3 trends that will shape the future of work. These are: AI and Automation. The Skills Gap. Independent Workers. None of these are particularly new or surprising. They're all well known to anyone who has been following the future of work.

For years, there has been a push to find alternative energy sources that will replace the use of fossil fuels. However, there really has not been a lot of movement towards making the replacement permanently on a large scale. Yes, many smaller entities and even households are doing a great job relying on renewable energy sources, but as a whole, the United States has not made much progress and fossil fuels are still very much the energy source of choice.

So it goes without saying that you get tons of emails, oh and your Executive probably gets tons of emails too! These days, we are all swimming in the sea of digital communications and most of us are drowning!

This is part three of a three-part series where I’m covering the following topics: Part 1: Getting Leadership Approval. Part 2: Retaining Information. Part 3: Leveraging Learning. In this article, I’ll share some strategies to help you use what you’ve learned in training. Previously, I shared the importance of creating an action plan—a document that outlines the specific, incremental steps you’re going to take to implement what you’ve learned in training.
Speaker: Frank Taliano
Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources. For large, complex organizations, legacy systems and siloed processes create friction that AI is uniquely positioned to resolve.

They run around with their little machines and slap a label onto anything that’s not moving. I don’t go that far, and not everything needs a label. Ease of finding things and ease of putting them away are two big reasons that getting organized matters, for anything you organize.

Despite a very robust jobs market, the need for highly flexible part-time jobs and supplemental income continues to grow.

You get up at whatever time you need to get up. Maybe it’s early because you go to bed early and want those morning hours for yourself or maybe it’s later because you’re more of a night owl and thrive in the evening hours. You grab some form of breakfast. Sometimes it’s whatever you can throw together. Sometimes it’s something you prepared in advance.

First, I apologize to everyone reading these blogs. I've been late on this and the previous post, as well as skipped one in between. As it turns out, not all of my weeks are as insightful as I thought they may be! Or may be I'm just not keen enough to tease out the insights!!! In either case, I missed the most recent post since I didn't have much to write or talk about.

There are many methods a minute taker can use to take minutes e.g. Recording devices , laptop, iPad, and just plain writing.

Buying a used coordinate measuring machine is a smart, strategic way to save money while improving your measuring capabilities. But it also raises a number of questions, including where you should buy a used coordinate measuring machine, what brand you should buy, and what you should expect. The good news it that the majority of coordinate measuring machines use frictionless air bearings , which means their mechanical structure wears down much slower than your CNC tools.

Cyber attacks have now become a fact of life, and are now something that each and every one of us has to guard against. It’s no good thinking that criminals will only attack the ‘big boys’ – far from it. In fact, smaller businesses are seen as softer targets with weaker defenses to penetrate. In 2016, it’s said that hackers were able to breach half of all small businesses in the US.
