A wise youth harvests in the summer, but one who sleeps during harvest is a disgrace. Proverbs 10:5 Always remember that if you seek results, there will be time to put in the work (sow), and there will be time to reap (get rewarded for your effort). As the year gradually ends, you will duly reap the fruits of all that you sowed during this year. You will not miss all you need to harness and harvest. You will receive the wisdom to separate seeds to plant/invest later from what you should sell or consume. You will learn to preserve all you need to sow in the coming year. The exceptional wisdom you need to navigate next year will be granted to you this year. Your expectations shall not be cut short. Happy New Month

In recent times, the saddening news of startups “total or partial winding down heightened fear in the heart of some business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and investors. The most shocking part of it are the reasons why they had to shut down operations. At some point, I wondered how the investors of those troubled startups made their choices to invest. The least I will expect is the presence and strict adherence to fundamental rules that guides business existence and activities. These rules form part of what is branded as Corporate Governance. I took special interest in these stories because I know how fundamental rules in time past regulated my relationship with partners. That is a discussion for someday. I will not need to freshly pen it but pull up what has already been documented and shared with same actors so that history will not be wrongly rewritten. As humans, we are liable to easily forget and give unrelated fresh perspectives to issues especially when it is not well documented. However how small, or large your organization is, there can always be a corporate governance that will be best fit and can be adopted. Issues like management team quick gratification that can erode investors funds, can easily be regulated with corporate governance. Issues like unaccountability of management team can easily be managed by corporate governance. Business operations, sustainability, partnership, CSR, accountability, financial management, risk control, regulation of arbitrary or excessive use of management team power and control, board relationship, etc. can all be managed with a good corporate governance being in place. As cancerous growth in the body silently kills without it being noticed until after some time, likewise, running your organization without a corporate governance. The death (closure of the organization) that eventually came to full term by shutting down operations has been silently killing but it was probably not noticed or ignored all the while. I will keep it this simple and short for now, but please, make a lawyer with business/corporate experience a friend and start the discussion. You can also find other business executives with corporate governance experience and start a conversation. I Wish you the best.

You Process Discovery and Documentation is a critical starting point to build solid sustainable systems. If you can’t discover it, you can’t improve. If you can’t document it, you can’t unravel it. Do you seek to improve and optimize your organization’s process, to enhance efficiency, productivity, and overall performance just as seen in this video? You need Business Process Management.

@Mr_JAGs Awesome... looking forward to a family mid-term break/holiday ride.

Many thanks @Mr_JAGs for your regular updates. Please is there a car park at Marina where passengers can 'park & ride', then return to drive off?
