As the business world enters a period of hyper-competitiveness, every business process will be subjected to examination and possible restructuring. We have already seen outsourcing and offshoring used to an extent what nobody would have dreamed of a few years ago. McDonald's is testing the offshoring of its drive-thru process to India.

Mike Beitler's Biz Blog. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. In a Harvard business review article (March - April 1999), Hanson, Nohria, and Tierney asked, "What's your strategy for managing knowledge? That question is still critical today. In that article, Hanson et al. described two types of knowledge management (KM) systems: codification and personalization. Which one is best? It depends. What your decision depends on is your strategic plan. If so, you should consider a codification KM system. A codification...

Mike Beitler's Biz Blog. Tuesday, August 05, 2008. Changing Learning Organization Priorities. In my book, Strategic Organizational Learning.

Mike Beitler's Biz Blog. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. Corporate Universities and Traditional Universities: Partners or Competitors? I have been asked if corporate universities (CUs) will replace traditional universities (TUs). The answer is clearly "no." In fact, a better strategy is to partner with one or more TUs. TUs also have business schools. Will corporate universities replace TU business schools? The answer again is "no." And again, I would suggest a better strategy is to partner, not to compete.

Mike Beitler's Biz Blog. Wednesday, January 18, 2006. Recently the Aberdeen Group completed a study on performance management. They found that companies with best-in-class employee performance management systems produce 50 to 70 percent more revenue than those that don’t have a good system. That finding gets my attention. We also know, from earlier studies, that top performers are four times as productive as the weakest performer in an organization. Typically, managers can identify poor or mediocre perfo...

Mike Beitler's Biz Blog. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Identifying Candidates for Leadership. A critical task in the succession planning process of any organization is identifying candidates. Traditionally, candidates have been identified based on past performance. While this seems logical, it is problematic in practice.
