CHECK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF: ETHICS SELF ASSESSMENT By: Kim Barclay As we near the end of the year and prepare for the next, performance evaluations are on the calendars for many of us. It is a time to reflect on the year’s job performance and set goals for the coming year. This is also a great time for personal self-assessment. How are we doing health-wise?
Every so often businesses face shocks that have unknown and unpredictable implications for the future performance of their existing strategy and business model. In an increasingly global world, the repercussions of a significant shock – such as the Covid-19 pandemic – simply cannot be imagined. When the virus first started circulating, nobody could begin to fathom all the ways in which it would impact their businesses and personal lives.
When my kids were little their Santa list grew exponentially as new toy catalogues arrived in the mailbox. Every possibility sparked joy, but unlike Marie Kondo, nothing ever seemed to come off the wish list. So every year we had a pre-Christmas clear out. Things that had languished unloved and unattended went in a big bag to the Op Shop. For a few days I could actually see the floor in their bedrooms, until the Santa onslaught arrived.
No one is truly self-sufficient in life or business — we all rely on others. And it’s the same in IT and the channel. Partners rely on numerous vendors to supply them with hardware and software, to provide various services, and to support them in innumerable ways. A 2022 report by CompTIA emphasizes the importance of partnerships within IT.

Apple Podcasts: [link] Spotify: [link] Youtube: [link] “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…” We have all heard that common saying before, but do we apply it?

I was not sure who Forrester was and why they were researching a category called Application Lifecycle Management (ALM).
One of the worst feelings is when we want to produce crazy ideas, we waste precious working time on routine tasks that could easily be automated if our laptop did these tasks automatically. It’s time to learn how to “pump” performance from a MacBook. Our brains are wired so that complex tasks go into procrastination mode. To avoid this, development should be gradual.
