Good Process = Current Investment Policy Statements
One of our mantras is good process = successful operations when it comes to running a financial practice. In the case of IPS work with clients - putting process in place to first automate and second monitor is critical to both reducing data errors and limits the possibility of having an outdated IPS for one or more clients.

How (and Why) to Stop Multitasking via @harvardbiz
Frequently when working with financial practices - the discussions focus on workflow, process and productivity as much as on pure technology. Productivity is where theories on process and workflow get proven out as good or bad. Continue reading

The History And Evolution Of SEO - Social Media Graphics
via socialmediagraphics.posterous.com Of interest to anyone who has grown up on the web. I remember the now crude first web sites I built both for business and personal starting in 1995. First, it was on dial-up. Second - it was at a time when one could manually enter your site in each search d...
Thanks for commenting Nicola. I definitely cannot speak for Seth - but in the case of my syndicating his post and adding my commentary, I was thinking particularly of public libraries. I whole heartedly agree that the work of "private" librarians and historians is worth every penny and more. Actually - it is a growing job sector - though frequently lumped into historians. On the public library front - my lament is the lack of focus nby our communities in placing a higher priority on investing in keeping pace with technology in the public library. I agree with Seth that on this front we need the intellectual champions to promote this better. It starts with us speaking more loudly to those representing the public dollars.
Seth's Blog: The future of the library
They can't survive as community-funded repositories for books that individuals don't want to own (or for reference books we can't afford to own.) More librarians are telling me (unhappily) that the number one thing they deliver to their patrons is free DVD rentals. That's not a long-term strategy...

An excellent reminder - I have a personal Twitter account and a blog on music and as a musician it generates those same more personal discussions. Fortunately - I have a wide band of music I listen to so it is very easy and approachable to chat on music as I may be presenting or discussing wealth management technology. Thanks for the post.
Humanize Your Business
Last week I gave a presentation about social media to a group of realtors and after it was over one of them walked up to me at said, "I tried that spinach and zucchini recipe on your foodie blog and it was fantastic!" You see, one of my hobbies is gourmet cooking, and I'm not bad at it either...

Is there a way to put in my bit.ly key to integrate into the bit.y analytics?
bit.ly Integrated in TypePad
Last week we added a cool new feature to TypePad: real-time bit.ly stats. Now, when you share you new posts on Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed, TypePad automatically shortens your post URLs using the bit.ly service. For example, a blog title like http://everything.typepad.com/blog/2009/09/real-...
perhaps a more dilbertesque method of using no capitalization or punctuation would make it easier on managers requiring the formerly capitally and font colored abused staff to have to read very carefully and determine what might be important or critical to insuring their customers are serviced properly at the highest level ;>)
Employee and Employer Pay Price for Use of ALL CAPS, Bold
Part of Vicki Walker's job as a financial controller at New Zealand's ProCare Health was to advise her team on how to fill out staff claim forms. But, her colleagues demanded, did she have to be so "confrontational" about it? According to a post last week on the Social Networking Law Blog, the c...
This is a great piece and right on point. Process - a conversation a lot of folks do not like to have because it hits close to home with staff and habits - is critical. As you note - it is always the process that is scrutinized no matter what.
Does Adherence to the Practices Really Make a Difference?
I was teaching an AIF classroom program in San Diego last month and one student asked during a break: "how can I convince prospective clients that these Practices really make a difference; most of them just don't get it." His underlying message was that the focus is always on performance and t...
