Recognizing When You ve Outgrown Your Help Desk

Does this sound like you? Falling levels of data integrity and user satisfaction, rising levels of anxiety over SLAs and working hours, lengthening resolution timescales and missed deadlines for management reporting? If it does, then the chances are that you've outgrown your help desk software and it's time to move up a size, perhaps to a third generation service desk (3GSD).

Are You Too Making A 100M Mistake?

I was speaking with a major market research firm that in the not too-distant past had scuttled an eagerly anticipated new practice area, claiming that there wasn't a market for the new practice and associated research. Yet, a few years later, their biggest competitor has a huge, booming practice in the same area! The competitor's most widely-read analyst in the entire firm is (you guessed it! ) writing exclusively about the same practice area that was scuttled.

If the author hires an agent, the profit margin is less, because the agent's fee is 10 (and sometimes 15) per cent of the author's share of the profit.
