I stopped taking this piece seriously after reading "I have not done any research panels on this article" followed shortly thereafter by "Obviously, the team (at ABSA) did their homework" and then your criticism of the new ABSA brand strategy. Essentially you are saying: "I have not done any research; they have....but I am now going to continue tearing into their work...because I know I know better". As strategists we should be less sensationalist.
How can the construction of an entire facility, or any of the water connections for the structures and centres here have gone through without prior approval? If there are really that many units whose water connections in storage are not sanctioned then perhaps it's the construction companies and builders who need to be scrutinised more closely to ensure that they are not flouting their power when it comes to building facilities in the area...
I imagine that this would be a trend that's happening across multiple industries at the moment because these services would greatly lift a big burden off of these companies' shoulders. I don't think they would want to worry about what's in storage or the daily nitty gritty handling of units in and out of their properties. They need to focus on the operations that bring the money in! It just makes sense!
@celestedickinson thank you for a thoughtful and well - argued article. In answer to your question - when is the best time to get HR support? - I would suggest to business owners: be proactive and get help with the people aspect of your work before you hit a crisis. And know that using an HR Consultant will help you get the very best out of your people.
Lynette, hello, thanks for your insights, got new ideas from your article. I didn't put great attention to the payment wide options aspect, but now I believe that trustworthy payments & great chaise of options could attract more customers or save from switching them to other online stores, where payment part is easier and affordable for them, so thanks a lot. Otherwise, we are of the same mind, for instance, I never doubt the importance and added value of pushes ( here's detailed quide on correct steps-to-take to get best results of using push notifications https://getfirepush.com/blogs/news/web-push-notifications-acomplete-beginners-guide ). What's more, strongly believe that personalization + re-marketing can give you conversions and best ROI results. What about the other readers? Do you actually invest in re-marketing or marketing automation? What kind of services and tactics do you prefer and why? Would appreciate your shares :)
"... to begin to negotiate economic changes which will open the mainstream economy to millions" means the ANC must return to a fully capitalistic economic system otherwise it will not be possible, but they just don't and will never understand it! I also doubt it if many political commentators do! So everything will eventually fall apart because socialism and communism cannot create economic growth. How impossible is this to understand when it is proven over and over all over the world - even Russia and China have embraced capitalism which is the main reason why China will become the major economic power in the world! How can there be any doubt about it??
There's quite a lot of work being done in the US with small producers' produce being aggregated via geography and GPS-based apps. Similarly, it connects producers directly with retailers, although in many instances it eliminates the middleman completely with producers delivering directly to retailers. Producers as small as half a hectare are able to get into the market profitably selling high value commodities, herbs and seasonal veggies.
I can ensure you, that this article is not lifted from Yoast. Its is however a testimony to my own findings. There were no Yoast material used in compiling it.
