Lately, I have been part of several project teams. Some of these experiences have caused me to sit back and analyze the project planning process to understand how project management planning and implementation could be improved.

Close. Ever get bad advice? Sure. We all have in our past. Ever take that advice without question because the person giving it was an investor, a superior in rank, the chairperson of your board? I’ll bet you have at least one story of bad advice taken and being bitten as a result.

For many board administrators, the question of how to get the most out of quarterly meetings can take up a lot of mental energy. Even for small organizations and businesses, there is a lot riding on a board meeting’s success. A poorly organized and poorly run board meeting represents a huge opportunity cost. At the same time, successful board meetings are often the result of a huge amount of work behind the scenes, that, when executed properly, is more-or-less invisible to the board members them

Whether you’re a value-added reseller sending a big shipment overseas or a lucky nephew anticipating an iPhone box-shaped birthday package from your aunt in the U.S., customs can ruin your day, week, or month, if your items get stuck there. Not only are you waiting, but extra fees could apply like a customs clearance fee, a customs handling fee for time spent on documentation, value-added taxes, or perhaps a security fee for time spent on x-raying your supposedly suspicious electronic goods.
