Emerging From the Storm

In October 2001, we sent you a message regarding how best to weather the difficult economic times, - the "Storm" -. It is 6 months since the " 9/11 " crisis and now Allen Greenspan, chairman of the United States Federal Reserve is announcing that the American economy is starting to show signs of recovery. As Canada closely follows the Americans, not to mention that they are our greatest trading partner, it follows that you need to think positively and be ready to respond to their rekindled demand. Since all nations of the world also look to the United States for trade, it is imperative that you distinguish yourself as The Best and most beneficial trading partner. Canadians have many great benefits to offer, however we must be ready to prove this.

To be poised to demonstrate your excellence, you must always be looking inward for improvement . In fact, the most recent revisions of ISO 9000 state that all companies must be in a state of continual improvement. For this reason , it follows that progressive companies must always be searching where is the best place to begin this continual improvement process. If you cannot decide which aspect of your business should be the starting point, may we suggest that you consider a Diagnostic Assessment Study of the strengths and weakness of the five major functions of your organisation; namely Management, Marketing, Finance, Manufacturing, Human Resources. For your information, the Minister of Industry and Commerce (MIC) will subsidize diagnostic assessment studies of this nature. To know more, visit their website www.mic.gouv.qc.ca or contact them directly at 514-499-2550.

A second option to consider is to begin by strengthening your management competencies. Over the past three years, Steve Woloz Associates has assisted numerous corporations in this respect. Testimonials from satisfied clients confirm this benefit ( please visit our webpage www.swaasssoc.com : see Testimonials ). For your information, Emploi Quebec will subsidize Management Coaching engagements.
