Tnikestormhanks to Nike, I just trialled their Storm Fly Men’s Running Jacket.

Like its name it’s certainly lightweight.

It’ has numerous reflective panels which will ensure you stand out at night and the bright blue colour is guaranteed to make you stand out during the day.

It’s slimline so you’re not going to get too much wind resistance.

The sleeves have a slight elastic cuffs and there’s a draw string at the waist as well which all makes for a comfy fit.

Strategic Abandonment

Saturday September 11th, 2010 in Management Articles | No Comments »

Whilst management is often focussed on doing new things…commencing new strategies it also useful to consider the process of strategic abandonment.

In business and in life I practice strategic abandonment.

What is it that we are doing at present that we must stop doing? What systems, processes, activities, people and even values should we abandon?

Only if we stop doing certain things and free up our resources can we effectively commence new ones.

This also applies to people. In all organisations there are those that evolve with it and then are those that simply can’t or won’t. It is important to manage these people out of the organisation appropriately.
