I’d like to propose that simplicity is the best way to go. I hate the idea of putting an end to the long process of collecting and analyzing data. It takes a lot of time and effort to get the right information to you in a quick and efficient manner. Simplifying the process just makes it a lot easier for you to access that information to make that final decision.
According to the latest report from the US Department of Labor, the average amount of time it took for a business to collect information was over four years. While this may sound like a long time, it is nothing compared to how many hours it took to complete a simple transaction.
While I understand the point behind making this simplification, there are times when we just want to jump in and do something quick and easy. It’s not that we don’t want to spend time on our jobs, we don’t go to work to do the things we have to do, we just want to do something quick. I think that this is a common misconception. I know I don’t. If I wanted to save time and money by doing something quick, I would do it.
People are often shocked that I do not work for a company and that I work at home. This is probably because they are used to hearing how everyone works at the office and how many hours it takes to finish a transaction, or how many more people are needed to complete a transaction. The point is, I have no work to do and no office to do it in, and that is why I spend the most time working on my blog and my online business.
I think this is one of the most common misconceptions, and I think it’s because I’ve had the opportunity to work at different companies and I’ve seen them all fall into this trap. For example, when I was at Microsoft I was working in the marketing department. In my last job there, there were two different departments that didn’t really have a department-wide product strategy.
There are a lot of companies that still don’t realize that business 2.0 is a process. It is not a new concept. However, the “process” part of the process gets them into the habit of doing tasks without clear goals. This can cause you to get stuck in a cycle of “I need this” and “I really shouldn’t be doing this”.
This is similar to the concept of the “water cooler” mentality. If you work at a business that does not have a clear strategy of what you do, then you will inevitably go on the offensive and criticize everything you do. This is why most companies in business 2.0 are always looking for different ways to do things, and then they complain when the people working for them stop doing things.
This is also why companies in business 2.0 are often criticized for “not having a clear strategy.” What does this mean? You cannot have specific goals and then expect to keep doing what you are doing if you do not have a clear strategy for why you are doing it. The first thing that you need to establish is what your goals are and then you need to define how you will achieve them. This will help you move toward a clear strategy.
