- How to Start Applying Deming’s Ideas on Management
There are many different ways to start applying W. Edwards Deming’s ideas on management. There isn’t a cookbook on what should be done first. This is helpful in that you can avoid trying things that would be very difficult given the current state of your management system. However, it is also very challenging in that you have to decide what to do yourself instead of just following a recipe. continue reading: How to Start Applying Deming’s Ideas on Management - Interview With Travel Blogger John Hunter Of Curious Cat Travels
There are too many great places but I think the game parks in East Africa are amazing and something very different from anything else I have seen...
What is your favourite mode of transport? (plane/train/boat/car)
None. I wish I could teleport everywhere. The current mode of transport are all a hassle I have to deal with to get where I want to go. continue reading: Interview With Travel Blogger John Hunter Of Curious Cat Travels - Exploitation or Economic Support as a Tourist?
People can still argue about the benefits and costs of chasing tourist money but when there are significant economic benefits that the people actually get (that are not taken by others) it is very hard for me to say it is wrong.
I do get a bit annoyed at people from rich countries that downplay the importance of money. It is easy to say other things are more important when you have lots of cash.
And that brings me back to a specific point about the quote "must be a very exhausting existence for them." While this may be true it doesn't mean that they would be better off without being bothered. It may well be without the botheration of tourists things would be even worse. continue reading: Exploitation or Economic Support as a Tourist? - Finding an International Business Bank as a Digital Nomad
Dealing with banking issues is one of the most difficult aspects of a small digital nomad business. Finding a bank for a small business isn’t easy. Add to that dealing with international banking and things get very challenging.
Finding a bank that will accept deposits via wire, provide a credit card for your business, has good online tools and you trust isn’t easy. continue reading: Finding an International Business Bank as a Digital Nomad - Sunday Market, Chiang Mai Thailand
The Sunday Market isn’t something I would say can’t be missed. But it is well done for this type of thing and worth going in my opinion. I am not a big shopping fan, but this one is worth taking in (even if you only buy food), and there is some nice stuff if you are looking to buy. continue reading: Sunday Market, Chiang Mai Thailand - Is Quality Ambitious Enough?
While grand aims don’t amount to much without systems that direct the effort to turn those ideas into practical action such aims are extremely valuable when they are part of a system that acts to consistently strive in that direction. continue reading: Is Quality Ambitious Enough? - Rhinoceros Hornbills on Mount Santubong
My single most amazing experience during several years in Malaysia was watching Rhinoceros Hornbills fly around on my hike on Mount Santubong on Borneo in Malaysia. I stayed in a treehouse cabin at treehouse cabin, Permai Rainforest Resort (in Damai about 45 minutes from Kuching). From there it was a 15 minute ride to the trailhead.
I didn’t remember that Bornean Hornbills (Rhinoceros Hornbills) were huge and it was quite surprising how large they were. The Rhinoceros Hornbill grows to 90–120 cm long and weighing 2–3 kg. In captivity it can live for up to 90 years. It is the state bird of Sarawak and the National bird of Malaysia. continue reading: Rhinoceros Hornbills on Mount Santubong - I Don't Take "Better Management" for Granted
I find very few companies show evidence of practicing what Deming, Drucker, Ackoff etc. talked about many decades ago. Better management is still a distant hope for most organizations in my opinion. continue reading: I Don't Take "Better Management" for Granted - Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand
I had very positive memories of the photogenic nature of the Grand Palace in Bangkok. But my photos from my last trip were not digital and I haven’t seen them in over 10 years. I was worried I would be disappointed. I wasn’t.
There are so many great views I have only shared a few photos here, see many more photos from my visit to the Grand Palace. continue reading: Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand - I Don't Take "Better Management" for Granted
It is true management at very valuable companies (and less valuable ones) needs a great deal of improvement. But it is mainly adopting good management practices people like Deming, Ackoff and Drucker talked about many decades ago. continue reading: I Don't Take "Better Management" for Granted - Meet John Hunter of CuriousCat.com
I write about what interests me, that is how I decide. I have added numerous blogs for that same reason over the years. If I keep wanting to write posts that I don’t think fit in an existing blog and decide it is worth a new blog I create a new blog.
...
The best advice is what I mentioned above; write about what you are passionate about. When you are passionate you are not only able but excited to learn about the topic and then share ideas that are worthwhile with your readers. continue reading: Meet John Hunter of CuriousCat.com - Is it Fair to be Judged for Performance Outside Your Control?
- Government Debt Held Within the Country Versus That Held Externally
If you owe debts to other countries you have to pay that money outside the system. So it takes a certain percentage of production (GDP) and pays the benefit of that production to people in other countries. This is what has been going on in the USA for a long time (paying benefits to those holding our debt). Ironically the economic mess created by central banks and too-big-to-fail banks has resulted in a super low interest rate environment which is lousy for lenders and great for debtors (of which the USA and Japanese government are likely the 2 largest in the world). continue reading: Government Debt Held Within the Country Versus That Held Externally
