MESSAGE FROM DORIS: The Good, Bad, and the Ugly: Employees and Partners Who Commit
Fraud
I tend to beat upon a topic when my readers are not getting the message, and fraud/theft/cheating
is one of them. I’ve spent close to 25 years as a practicing consultant and the
bad news is that some people steal and lie. Sorry, they do. Most, thankfully, don’t.

Message from Doris: Long Hot Summer 2010: Making a Cool Profit in the Heat
For a minute, let’s set the dogged recession woes to one side and think a little
sunnier. Is your office a ghost town on Fridays? By the time it hits PM Friday,
is the only thing you can hear crickets? Yes, it’s summer time in New England.

A Message From Doris: Are Your Documents Managing You? Seek software solutions to
fix those issues
What's up with "document management", i.e. another buzz word? What does that mean
for your firm and what is all the hype? Filing, storing and retrieving documents
is a very old problem. All the “buzz” is about revamping the solutions via technology,
and when solved, even in a small firm it can render great efficiencies. If you’re
symptomatic of the following, document management software may be a solution for
you.

A Message From Doris: Partnering the Right Way in 2009
Don't cringe....we've all had business arrangements that start with the best of
intentions and end up short of disastrous. Often like marriage, we go back and try
to make existing relationships work or find a new buddy that's a better match. Either
methodology can work or, over time, you figure out what techniques make your firm
more successful.

A Message From Doris: Why Business Development Works?
If you’re wondering why your firm is not receiving RFPs (Request For Proposals)
at the pace it once did, and have felt the uncomfortable squeeze of downsizing and
work stoppage, you’re not alone. Not at all. If someone is telling you they did
not lose 30%-50% in the stock market, 20-50% in real estate value, they are not
being straightforward. If your bank and credit resources have not checked in on
you lately, reducing credit lines and calling loans, you’re in the minority.
