We use maps at CBN to better understand and improve performance
The old days of pins 'n strings on a cork board have been over for some time now, but the practice of planning our work continues. Years ago I was the sales manager at CBN, and when I brought a new account's paperwork into Bob's office, he would get excited, jump up from his desk and go over to a large map we had on the wall. Bob would then select a colored pin with a number, the color representing the frequency that we would clean the account, the number representing the account's ID number. These pins would be grouped... Continue reading

My first business card read "Full service, competitive, honest, and friendly"
By my decades-long friend, Bill Black There are many management trends afoot, as there have been for many decades. For a long time we could read books of wisdom written by former and famous Fortune 100 presidents and CEOs who turned into business consultants, and we could be inspired to try some of their story suggestions ourselves. Do you recall The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, From Good to Great, First Break All the Rules... and the 'ol granddaddy of them all, How to Win Friends and Influence People? If you're over 40 years old then it's likely you... Continue reading

Religious revival, in Holland?
It seems, due to the unusual nature of lockdowns in Holland, one of Europe's more progressive societies, that you can visit a house of ill repute, or a church, or a gym, but not a museum or a bar or a comedy club. So one of the clubs has reconstituted itself as The Philosophical Society; the Community of Reason, a brand new church. According to Unherd, one of my favorite sites, a group of Dutch mayors have sent a note to the appropriate ministry, predicting a resurgence of religion. It's an interesting world. Continue reading

"Exercise caution when removing bats"
"Exercise caution when removing bats" was the headline in my daily feed from Cleaning & Maintenance Management. No kidding. Bats have claws, very sharp teeth (and seem not afraid to use them), and there is this whole Covid originated in bats thing. I'd be a bit cautions myself. Turns out the article focused on rabies (something else I'd prefer to avoid). Serves to remind one that there are more pathogens out there than just the coronavirus. A good reason to select a janitorial firm with a firm (no pun intended) foundation in disinfection. Continue reading
