Traffic isn’t everything!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Design, Marketing, Technology on August 14, 2012
Website Traffic is a popular benchmark. A simple Google search on “Website Traffic” returned me 1,010,000,000 results just now. Yes, A Billion. But, traffic isn’t everything. As per Alexa, Facebook tops globally in terms of traffic. Google & YouTube follow. Then there’s Yahoo, Wikipedia, Twitter, and Amazon in the top 10. However, traffic means different […]

Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Human Behavior, Innovation, Leadership, Management, Marketing, Technology, Trends on July 16, 2012
Our Left Brain tells us – based on reasoning – that, Left Brain deals with the Science & reasoning while the Right Brain deals with Art & Creativity. Therein lies the fallacy of the “Left Brain – Right Brain” dichotomy that has developed over time and frozen into over minds. For a long time, I […]

Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in BPM, Business, Leadership, Management, Technology on June 27, 2010
When a business process culminates in a transaction that has the organization as the beneficiary, they will find a way or the other to keep track of it, and not let the ball drop. But, not so much otherwise. When you see a broken process, problem lies mostly with focus and priorities; not with their ability (technological or managerial) to manage processes.
Systems Today, Culture Tomorrow. Don’t Tweak!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Human Behavior, Leadership, Management on June 15, 2010
Not all organizations may realize that some of the tweaks in policies and systems actually end up as the key determinant of the longer term direction that “organizational culture” takes. When tweaking systems and policies for shorter term goals, do not lose sight of the longer term effects on culture and mindset of people working in the organization. Systems and Policies of today are the organizational culture of tomorrow!
SLAs Drive Mediocre Services, Not Customer Delight!
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in BPM, Business, Leadership, Management, Technology on May 25, 2010
SLAs are great way to manage contractual obligations. One would hope that they would bring the much needed quality of service in business, but that’s unfortunately not the case. They are just not geared for “customer happiness”, They are designed, and used in a way, to keep the management from frowning! As far as I know, SLAs (or with a benefit of doubt, badly designed ones) are the root cause of mediocre services.

What’s in a Shopping Bag?
Posted by Ashish Bhagwat in Business, Human Behavior, Leadership, Management, Marketing on April 28, 2010
Post the ban on plastic shopping bags, many retailers have resorted to selling bags made of alternative materials. What they do not realize is that a decision to not offer it for free or for an amount of sale hurts their business more than they realize! Huge price to pay for few thousand bucks on shopping bags.
