Your Number One Deal Killer

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/05/09

And why not go the cheap route… forms are easy to build, right? Anyone can do it?!? Sure. Anyone can build a form that causes the customer to despise and curse you. Anyone can design a form that is put in the inbox never to reach the outbox. Anyone can design a form to lose more business than you can measure because you don’t know how many forms are never completed.

Working For Perception

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/05/03

The problem isn’t in startups though. The problem comes down to how the average employee is perceived and managed in relation to the number of hours they work. The way others perceive your work ethic can mean the difference between being a rising star and going nowhere fast.

How Do You Improve Morale?

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/04/24

In an organization, morale is based on three key attributes. The first is your company culture, which is comprised of your beliefs, values and goals. These qualities define the basis for morale. If your team shares your company’s core beliefs then they have the foundation for being happy and having a positive energy that affects the entire team.

Efficiency Gives You More Than You Pay For

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/04/17

Long-term, hidden costs are hard to see when you’re choosing a technology. As you assess the expected results of the solution, also anticipate how much burden or relief the solution adds to your company’s capacity. The most efficient solutions are ones that free up time for everyone in your company, not just the end user.

Why Are We Even Talking About Forms?!?

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/03/28

The first step is perhaps the easiest but least addressed. Most forms in use today are not professionally designed. Rather, they’re given to any available person in the company who can control a mouse resulting in form designs that cannot be automated.

Do Or Don’t, But Decide And Go!

By Richard Walker | Published 2012/02/16

There’s a reason leaders are followed: they make decisions. Making a decision isn’t the hard part. It’s sticking with that decision and moving forward quickly that’s hard. And if you think it’s hard to decide which blouse to wear today, or which task to work on first, or what to make for breakfast, then you’re going to find making big decisions even harder.

What’s Required To Achieve Straight Through Processing

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/12/22

The opportunity for financial service companies to achieve STP, and more importantly to reduce errors, speed up transactions, lower costs and deliver great service to customers, is now here. Straight-through-processing is no longer a myth, nor an overpriced, undue burden for anyone.

Is Your Concept Of Productivity Holding You Back?

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/08/11

While there is no right or wrong answer here, I look at productivity according to my efficiency, effectiveness and focus. Defining it that way means that I am most productive when I can focus on the task; when I am most efficient at performing that task; and when my energy, skill and resources are most effectively applied to that task.

An Efficient Business Never Fails

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/07/28

Think about what limits your business’ ability to grow, adapt, contract, change and move. It’s not your people – they come and go all the time. It’s not your products – they have lifecycles too. It’s not money either – though it’s probably the second-most important ingredient.

Perfecting User Adoption Requires Managing Behavior

By Richard Walker | Published 2011/05/05

While some companies can simply turn off the old solution and dictate the new process be used, don’t forget to watch out for user’s workarounds to the system! Thus it always helps to have incentives to motivate the behavior you want. Is there a way you can charge your users for not adopting your new solution without making them quit?
