Intensify- Enhance-Abate

Intensify your focus
Are you computing in the cloud or living in one?  Actually you can live in the cloud.  The cloud is for everything: it services enterprise computing and personal needs. You can rid your shelves of books and photo albums and store them in the cloud. You can enjoy streaming movies and music…
We don’t have time to slowly test the water as breathing air in the 21^st century puts us smack dab in the middle of the largest sensory overload of all ages with an unsurpassed advancement in technology – embrace it.
Are you ready to enhance ops? Implement cutting edge technology and ensure you’re “current”, by continually examining and learning new regulations and critical performance data from multiple experts, vendors, and industrial networking associations? Multi-tasking means so much more now than it used to. During any given hour of work your focus should be on meeting daily objectives, new methodologies, generating revenue, herding employees, asset protection and risk management.  Unless you’re a Super Hero how will you hone in before you zone out?
Enhance performance.                                                                                                                               Performance must be cutting edge today or you’ll be forgotten in a heartbeat by savvy consumers as they line up for service from those with more enticing offers.  Fewer employees are needed in fields such as automation and service, as outsourcing has taken the lead in design, manufacturing, communication, and a multitude of services.  This doesn’t mean there’s less work to be done though. 
Our needs will never be met as we continually struggle to compete in a world hungering for the finest in content, service, and overall experience.  While our desires and wants evolve so do the ways we earn a living. While we’re busy making sure the vision we have for our business is current, who’s taking care of the administrative needs?
Abate Risk.                                                                                                                                                                  Tort (sic) is now being served; would you like a glass of 1990 Chateaux Latour Pauillac to go with it?  You might as well spend the $600 - before your attorney takes your last dime defending your failure to practice due diligence. Stay out of the legal arena with best practices in place.  If you’re not up to speed on the United States labor statutes and regulations as they apply to your business you’ve got a huge problem – deal with it now.
We live in a litigious society, and with all this stinking thinking you’re bound to find yourself in the midst of a mess one of these days, especially if you’re not highly skilled in employment law and human resources.
