Businesses Need to Break Out of the Silo, Now!

Technology

There’s no fail-safe handbook for running your business. A few people find managerial success though their own ability to see ways to improve systems. Yet, in the vast majority of cases, individuals fail to align company interests in effective and efficient ways. This leads to lost productivity and revenue—and sometimes, going out of business altogether. Anyone who says it’s easy to get all parts of an organization moving in the same direction has probably never done it. People in managerial positions tend to sequester key information – and themselves – away from the rest of the company.

Why I’m taking a cruise this year

Travel

Typically, I’ve been a hostel and bus or train kind of girl. I take the budget airlines, I stay in the cheap motels, and I look for ways to save money whenever I can. But lately, I’ve found that I no longer want to make life more difficult for myself when I travel. I would actually rather take a shorter trip and truly enjoy it than take a long trip where I’m constantly on the move. I’ve always hated packing and unpacking my things when I’m travelling, and this has only increased as I’ve gotten older. I’m not a light packer, and I tend to spread my things out all over the hotel or hostel so packing is time-consuming and stressful. I also usually prefer travelling slowly, simply because while I would like to see as much as possible in a short time, I’ve learned my lesson and I hate…
