‘Twas 3 Weeks Before Christmas at Warren Whitney

‘Twas 3 Weeks Before Christmas at Warren Whitney

‘Twas 3 weeks before Christmas, when all through the town

people wore masks that covered their frown.

The frown had begun way back in the Spring,

when a global pandemic changed everything.

They called it Corona, but unlike the beer,

It didn’t bring good times, It didn’t bring cheer.

Airplanes were grounded, travel was banned.

Borders were closed across air, sea and land.

As the world entered lockdown to flatten the curve,

BIG DATA & SMALL ORGANIZATIONS – Learn to use data as a decision making tool

By: Scott Warren and David Nelms

“Big data” isn’t just for big companies. Many organizations feel they are too small for “big data,” but data size is relevant to the size and complexity of the organization. All organizations have a preponderance of data that can help them make better decisions. Actively and consistently using actual data to inform allows organizations to track results and outcomes of decisions and, ultimately, can point decision-makers in the direction needed to identify problems or opportunities.

August 2020: What Do Great Leaders Do Next?

By Business Consulting, Finance & Accounting, Human Resources

What Do Great Leaders Do Next?

Leaders’ successes typically revolve around the ability to develop and implement brilliant visions.  They help their staff move forward in their careers; they build their organizations; they make their communities better places.  The blur of health and social trauma over the last five months (with no end in sight) gives leaders a very different challenge.

It’s hard to create a brilliant vision with this level of uncertainty; it’s hard to help people advance in their careers when a computer screen is the only connection; it’s hard to find the energy to move forward when the race is a marathon and the footing is muddy.
