Time Management Tips and Time Management Strategies for Achievers

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 28, 2011

Some say, Time is all we have. To master time is to master life. The secret of time management is to have a trusted system and a collection of time management tips and time management strategies to draw from.

Getting Results the Agile Way (http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Results-Agile-Way-Personal/dp/0984548203), by J.D. Meier, now available on Kindle, is a time management system for achievers focused on meaningful results. The power of Getting Results the Agile Way is that it combines some of the best practices for thinking, feeling, and taking action into one simple system to help achievers make the most of what theyve got.

Here is a short, two-minute video that shows how a CTO of a non-profit organization uses Getting Results the Agile Way to help doctors and patients around the world, while dealing with incredible stress and time pressure in extreme scenarios:

Note You can view the video directly at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5o0JhIh784

Getting Results the Agile Ways tackles time management in three unique ways:

1. The Rule of Three - By choosing three wins to focus on each day, this simplifies life and puts the most important things front and center.

2. Monday Vision, Daily Outcomes, Friday Reflection - On Mondays, identify three wins for the week. Each day, identify three wins for that day, to support the three wins for the week. On Friday's identify three things going well, and three things to improve. Each day is a fresh start, and each week is a new chance to achieve new wins. Getting back on track is as simple as identifying three wins for the day, and taking it from there.

3. Hot Spots - If life is a heat map, the Hot Spots are the big opportunities and pain points in life. Hot Spots help to see the forest for the trees. By focusing on Hot Spots, this focuses time, energy, and attention to achieve better, faster, and more effective results.

The Getting Results Knowledge Base at http://gettingresults.com/wiki/Knowledge_Base is a large collection of free time management tips and time management strategies. It's wisdom of the ages and modern sages that plug into the Getting Results system. For example, for actionable recommendations on motivation, time management, and focus, the Getting Results Knowledge Base provides principles, patterns, and practices in the form of guidelines and checklists. There are even step-by-step How Tos to help achievers set goals and achieve them.

Three big ideas to add to the bag of time management tips and tricks are:

1. Spend time with skill - The key to better results is working on the right things, at the right time, the right way, with the right energy.

2. Drive from lifestyle As J.D. says, Drive life from who you want to be and what experiences you want to create.

3. Spend more time in the most important values - It's been said, We can't add more years to our life, but we can add more life to our years. One way to do this is to spend more time in the values that light up life and connect to fundamental values, which some would say is ultimately the key to "The Good Life."

Life is not a race, and the journey is the destination. To improve happiness both in the short term, while improving your fulfillment in the long run, Getting Results the Agile Way addresses both. Here's the secret in the form of a golden rule: Give your best where you have your best to give. By tapping into unique strengths and talents, the inner-achiever unleashes exponential results. This is the ultimate way to, as J.D. says, Be YOUR best and flourish in an ever-changing world. While controlling the winds may not be possible, adjusting the sails is the next best thing, and that's "the Agile Way" in action.

Overhaul of Core Business Operations at OppenheimerFunds, Inc. Strengthens Investment Organization and Elevates Risk Management

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 21, 2009

OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI) is enhancing its portfolio management teams by creating two new positions in the investments department. Chris Leavy has been named CIO of equities, and Art Steinmetz has been named CIO of fixed income. Additionally, Joseph Welsh will head a new unit: the High Yield Corporate Debt team.

OFI Chief Executive Officer William Glavin announced the company's priority of strengthening its investment organization and elevating its risk management function. As part of an overall strengthening of business operations, there are also changes planned in its sales and marketing operations that allow for a more streamlined approach to client communications.

"OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is committed to delivering investment excellence over the long-term," said Mr. Glavin. "Each of the changes announced today is part of OFI's business plan to focus on OFI's core mutual fund and closely related businesses and will allow OppenheimerFunds to better meet the needs of our clients in today's market and beyond."

Strengthening OFI's Investment Organization

Mr. Glavin's new business plan calls for deeper leadership of the investment organization, some of which was previously announced. Two new positions will be created in the investments department: Chief Investment Officer, Equities and Chief Investment Officer, Fixed Income, both of whom will report to Mr. Glavin. As part of the restructuring, OppenheimerFunds' current Chief Investment Officer, Kurt Wolfgruber, has decided to leave the firm on April 30, 2009.

The new CIO of equities will be Chris Leavy. Mr. Leavy had previously announced his intention to leave the firm on March 31, but, after helping shape the business plan for the company, he recognized the need for continuity in a challenging business environment and the opportunity to help lead the firm into the future. The current director of fixed income investments, Art Steinmetz, will assume the new role of CIO of fixed income.

Commenting on Mr. Wolfgruber's departure from OppenheimerFunds, Mr. Glavin said, "Kurt built a successful investment department that allowed for the tremendous growth the company experienced between 2002 and 2007. As OppenheimerFunds begins a new phase with our investment group, he decided to give other leaders the opportunity to play a major role in shaping the future of the company."

To conclude a series of leadership changes for the fixed income department, Joseph Welsh is now head of a newly formed high yield corporate debt team. His responsibilities include: portfolio manager of Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund (OPCHX), the high-yield portion of Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund (OPSIX) and all related high-yield strategies. He will continue as co-portfolio manager of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund (XOSAX), a fund that invests in syndicated loans to below-investment grade companies.

"The creation of a high yield corporate debt team is a step we are taking to strengthen the company's taxable fixed income investment capabilities in light of what we have learned from recent market volatility," said Art Steinmetz, CIO, Fixed Income. "Consolidating the management of below-investment-grade assets on a single proven team is the right strategy moving forward, and Joe's extensive experience will serve us well."

Mr. Welsh joined OppenheimerFunds in January 1995 as a high yield bond analyst and became vice-president and co-portfolio manager of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund in September 1999. Mr. Welsh has specialized in non-investment-grade debt investing since 1991. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst.

As previously announced, Krishna Memani assumed today Portfolio Manager responsibilities for Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund (OPIGX), Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund (OPGVX), and Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust (OUSGX). He was hired last month by OFI as head of the Investment Grade Fixed Income team.

OppenheimerFunds' taxable fixed income area is now comprised of three investment teams: Investment Grade Fixed Income, High Yield Corporate Debt, and International Fixed Income.

Elevating Risk Management

By giving Mr. Glavin direct access and support from the risk management, compliance and internal audit functions, the company is raising the profile of risk management and control across the organization. This response to a changed market environment allows Geoff Craddock, head of risk management and Mark Vandehey, head of compliance, to immediately join Kristina Olson, head of internal audit, in reporting directly to Mr. Glavin.

"As a result of the unprecedented market volatility and dislocation in 2008, companies across the financial services industry are taking a close look at how to enhance their risk management and control functions," said Mr. Glavin. "The new reporting structure for these groups will enable me to have direct oversight of these important functions."

Enhancing Communications Efficiency

Enhancing communications with clients is central to OppenheimerFunds' business plan. It will ensure investors', advisors' and consultants' performance expectations are aligned with the company's for a particular product.

"A key priority for OppenheimerFunds is to improve the flow of information across the organization and out to our clients," said Mr. Glavin. "We have begun exploring ways to create a stronger, more efficient communications infrastructure that will better serve investors, advisors and other constituents."

Details on the nature and leadership of these communications initiatives will be announced in the coming months.

Daminion Software Unveils New Version of Document Asset Management Solution

(PRWEB) March 7, 2011

Daminion Software, a leading company specializing in media document management solutions for creative pros, has announced the 0.8 beta version of its Document Asset Management software. The Daminion 0.8 beta is a pre-release version that will be made available for public testing before Daminion Software releases the final version of the program. The new beta version is focused on image cataloging and media management. As a result, it reduces the time and cost of asset retrieval and content production for creative professionals.

Powerful search capabilities provide immediate access to assets of all types, including multimedia and other documents. Daminion is able to easily locate digital images, videos, and documents using a range of criteria, including categories, keywords, camera lens, color labels, rating and creation date. Content can be filtered withover 30 tags in combination with AND/OR operators.

At the heart of the program is its ability to store data inside of media files, including copyright information. All image descriptions are stored inside the relevant files as metadata. Whenever users copy, email, or publish their images, videos, or documents, all of the file information is transferred along with the files. This protects asset ownership and copyright. Without the use of metadata, the potential for lost assets is higher if unmarked, assets may be invisible to searches and more vulnerable to misuse.

Another advantage of metadata is that it is the best way to exchange information across systems with different configurations using XMP. This eliminates the need to rely on a variety of different API versions. Instead, Daminion can store metadata in a range of formats, such as image, camera RAW, vector, video, audio, and PDF. Additionally, the database is automatically synchronized with information in EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and MWG formats.

Daminion allows users to export optimized files on demand with selected conversion rules in a single click. This file optimization feature is perfect for uploading content to Flickr or Facebook.

For an even more convenient user experience, Daminion can open multiple catalogs in separate tabs simultaneously in modern web browsers. Users can also work with Shared and Local catalogs in the same workspace.

Visit Daminions website to download the beta version, as well as to access community forums and blogs, members-only whitepapers and downloads, and technical support.

Daminion is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, 2003 or 2008 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. The program also requires at least 100MB of free disk space, a Pentium III with 1.0 GHz at the very minimum and at least 256MB of RAM. All currently supported versions of Daminion work on both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows.

About Daminion Software

Daminion Software (formerly known as PicaJet.com), based in Stavropol, Russia, is a fast-growing company specializing in desktop and web-based media document management software solutions.

The companys flagship product, Daminion Server, is a digital asset management system (DAM) with multi-user access that features a revolutionary new platform and product structure. The software is based on experience gained from many years in the digital media management industry: PicaJet.com went online in 1999. The company is also the creator of PicaJet Photo Manager and RoboImport, digital photo management solutions for photographers and designers.

Daminion Software's primary goal is to make the best DAM solution available for small companies. The program is extremely user-friendly and, unlike other digital asset management products aimed at the corporate market, Daminion is as easy to install as opening a box. The program is affordably priced for users as well. Visit the Daminion website at http://daminion.net

Evident dental laboratory management software celebrates #1 rank on Google.

(PRWEB) November 11, 2011

The number 1 spot on the Google search is very exciting. We have noticed an increase in the number of demo requests through the site, but the jump in Google ranking has to be attributed to SEO techniques and to our dental lab industry blogs that provide current, useful information to our customers, says Rayne Verity, Evident Marketing and Finance Manager.

Evident joined the NADL in 2011 and sponsors several informative blog-based websites for the dental lab industry to use for reference and collaboration.

Evident is a company that genuinely wants to help dental labs succeed. Our customer support is the best in the industry and our pricing is the most competitive in the market for the features we provide. We are quickly growing in popularity with dental labs of all sizes. Im not surprised Evident moved into the number 1 Google ranking position says Jane Goodfellow, Evident CEO. Prior to starting Evident Inc, Jane shaped another dental lab software product for Henry Schein and had considerable experience helping dental lab staff to optimize lab efficiency. Jane is the driving force behind Evident.

A Google ranking of #1 indicates a high volume of traffic to the site and the relevancy of a search. When dental lab software is typed into a Google search, Evident dental lab software appears in the number 1 unsponsored position. The increase in traffic can been attributed to the surge in interest and popularity of the Evident dental lab software system. Kurt Goodfellow, Evident General Manager elaborated, Evident tracks cases from the dental practice through every production step and back to the practice. It lists the technicians task start and finish dates, even our reporting system can be automated to collect the dental lab data and send it to whoever needs that information without them having to go look for it. Doctors can enter their own cases; this is web utilization at its best.

Because Evident dental lab management software is web based it operates on any computer that has access to the Internet as well as iPads, smart phones etc. This allows lab owners and employees to monitor and track their work from anywhere in the world. Dental lab managers and owners are often married to the lab, but with the Evident system, the dental lab owner has the dental lab is in their pocket.

Evident dental lab exhibits at the LMTs Lab Day in Chicago each year. It gives us a great opportunity to see our customers. We meet so many great people and get to put faces to all the voices we know! says Tristan Goodfellow, Evident Training and Support Manager. LMT Lab Day Chicago is the largest dental lab trade show in North America.

GoGrid Enhances Partner Exchange Platform With New Image Rights Management Technology

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 03, 2011

GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, today announced its new Image Rights Management (IRM) technology, now available for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) participating in the companys partner exchange program. Enhancing the value GoGrids Exchange marketplace provides to ISVs, the company's new IRM technology delivers an innovative license protection system that enables partners to safeguard their intellectual property and effectively monetize their existing software solutions using cloud-based subscription models.

Once a partner application is live in the GoGrid Exchange marketplace and available for GoGrid's customers to deploy through value-added subscription plans, the IRM system automatically tracks instances where the application is actually running within the GoGrid cloud. The system then authenticates whether or not the application is operating on a validly deployed cloud server for which GoGrid is collecting the required subscription fees on behalf of the partner. If the proper authentication requirements are not met for an application in use, partners can protect their intellectual property and take appropriate actions such as shutting the application down, delivering a light version of the software, or instructing the customer to purchase a valid license from an external website.

"Architecting cloud computing infrastructure involves a variety of different technology solutions and our customers need a simple process to access, adopt and implement industry-leading applications for critical functions such as internet security, backup, monitoring, load balancing and compliance," said Jeff Samuels, chief marketing officer, GoGrid. "The GoGrid Exchange featuring our IRM system brings new opportunities for software providers to expand their reach by connecting with our customer community in the GoGrid cloud. Enabling independent solutions providers to easily share and offer their existing software with licensing models that support the elasticity of a cloud environment is an important factor in driving cloud adoption and fueling industry innovation."

The GoGrid Exchange A Cloud Solution Ecosystem

The GoGrid Exchange is a multi-dimensional marketplace of cloud solutions where Partner-created "golden server images" are sold, bought or shared across the GoGrid community. In the Exchange, solutions partners can sell or share GoGrid server images that are preinstalled and preconfigured with their software and documentation. In turn, GoGrid customers provision virtual machines based on any selected golden server image. These include GoGrid Server Images (GSIs), Partner GoGrid Server Images (PGSIs that partners have built) or Community GoGrid Server Images (CGSIs that community members have built). Customers purchase monthly subscriptions or simply use server images that are free. Customers can also share personalized GoGrid Server Images (MyGSIs) they create themselves for their own specific cloud usage.

Featuring its new IRM system, the GoGrid Exchange provides ISVs with a simple process for cloud-enabling their existing software applications while also protecting their intellectual property. With the GoGrid Exchange, customized Partner GSIs are listed in a catalog located on the GoGrid portal that customers can browse and select the value-added server images they want to include when provisioning their virtual machines. Because Partner GSIs can be provisioned in minutes, customers can drastically reduce the time it takes to get new applications and solutions up and running in the cloud. As a partner's server image is deployed, the IRM system tracks where the application is running and authenticates whether or not it is operating on a valid server. If proper license authentication is not confirmed, the application can take appropriate actions such as shutting itself down as well as notify the vendor. GoGrid manages the Exchange payment process and provides customers with one monthly bill that includes GoGrid's infrastructure fees and any additional Partner GSI fees. The collected value-added fees are then reimbursed to the partner on a quarterly basis.

In GoGrid's environment, customers can also contribute their cloud expertise to the broader community. GoGrid encourages collaboration throughout the ecosystem and offers a new feature that allows customers to quickly and easily share the customized GoGrid Server Images they create. Customers simply customize a GoGrid Server Image with the applications, settings and tools they need and then access the sharing feature to make their images publicly available to the entire GoGrid community by one click of a button. Customers can use this feature, knows as Community GSIs, to quickly transfer images from one account to another, share unique images with office locations in other regions, increase adoption of open source code, save time by leveraging the work of other community members and stay on top of cutting edge applications and trends.

CloudPassage, Gazzang, Zeus Adopt GoGrid IRM

GoGrid today announced that three of its Exchange partners, CloudPassage, Gazzang and Zeus Technology, have adopted the GoGrid IRM system to authenticate the licensing rights for their cloud solutions available in the GoGrid Exchange.

CloudPassage is now offering its software-as-a-service security as a Partner GSI within the GoGrid cloud. With CloudPassage, GoGrid's public and hybrid IaaS customers can manage their own cloud security by leveraging a single solution that is purpose-built for the cloud and delivers multiple layers of defense for cloud servers.
