Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

June 20, 2013/in Business /by Dr Prem Jagyasi and Team

Business Continuity Plan (BCP) Management

Businesses that do not have a Business Continuity Plan in place are more often affected by a disruption and have only a half the chance of survival as compared to businesses that have BCP in place. There have been cases where businesses without BCP have gone out of business within 12 months of launch. This itself, states an importance of BCP and its management for a successful business.

There are several factors that are considered before developing BCP. An ideal plan should include emergency arrangements for loss or unavailability of premises & the implications of temporarily relocating your business if need be; loss of employees, restructuring of the business with staff taking on an unfamiliar role within the organization; finding new suppliers or vendors; loss of specialist resources or technology; loss of communications or important data and the implications of not having back up for the lost data and where any alternative may be obtained; loss of critical equipment, etc.

Training in BCP management

The size, scale and nature of your organization will decide how comprehensive your plan needs to be. There are many self-assessment tools available to help businesses gauge how prepared the organization is for disruptions. BCP management training courses introduce to the participants these tools to enhance their ability to develop an effective business continuity plan. Business impact and risk assessment tools for example are used to identify the critical deliverables in the business, evaluating recovery priorities and assessing the risks, which could lead to business interruptions and/or damage to your organizations’ reputation.

Training programs also give insight on ongoing plan testing, audit & change management of BCP and its processes. They also help improving the risk profile through improvements in operational procedures and practices, implementing alternative business strategies, using risk financing measures etc.

HR & Admin Training

June 20, 2013/in Training /by Dr Prem Jagyasi and Team

Human Resources (HR) & Administration Training

Understanding the entire gamut of services under HR/Admin

A HR/Admin team in an organization is responsible for entire gamut of services, which includes recruitment & selection, training & development, performance appraisal, employee retention, employee welfare, statutory compliance, liaison with Government officials etc that comes under the work profile of the HR department. On the other hand, administration department keeps track on smooth functioning of activities like housekeeping, maintenance, security, travel & ticketing, canteen etc. Both these departments also are responsible for looking after day to day office activities, record attendance, salary increment procedures, counseling employees, preparing offer/appointment letters etc.

Thus, one can say HR along with the admin department plays a vital role in achieving strategic goals set by any organization, as both these departments essentially deal with two very important aspects of business – Human Resources & Discipline within an organization. Though the major role of the HR department still remains recruiting right talent and ensuring that the people within the organization are satisfied with the company policies, performance evaluation, and pay scale, HR today also caters to lots of other activities that ensure efficient functioning of an organization. HR is today involved in the strategic planning process and formulating policies accordingly in order to ensure that the organization attains its objectives.

Why training is required for HR/Admin professionals?

As HR/Admin team deals with human resources in any organization, with appropriate training, the aspiring HR/Admin professionals or even the existing HR/admin managers will not only be able to show increased efficiency in their work, but also understand the changing role of these departments in current competitive business arena, which will help them smoothen the functioning of their departments.

Importance of Negotiation

Negotiating is all about reaching to an agreement that is acceptable to both parties involved in negotiation. One might need to have key strategies & tactics in place to negotiate effectively, as good negotiation helps you strike good deals & joint ventures, achieve business objectives, get along better with people, and more importantly be more productive & successful on the job.

People often think negotiation is just about a method of getting their way. However, it is much more than that. It is about how we get along with other people, understand their viewpoint and come to a conclusion that does not only benefit us but also is equally exciting for the other negotiating party. One needs to weigh things against several odds before reaching to a mutual consent.

Training in Negotiation

Negotiation is something we all are familiar with. It is something you use all the time in your work as well as in your personal life. However, a practical training course is required for developing effective negotiating ability in business professionals to help them to build the requisite skills to deal with negotiations with confidence and understanding.

If one needs to be a successful business person, a study of developing negotiation skills should be at the forefront of your mind. One of the primary benefits of having good negotiation skills is that you will be able to save money. Learning how to negotiate will allow you to save substantial amounts of money over a period of time.

Business Ethics Training

June 20, 2013/in Business, Training /by Dr Prem Jagyasi and Team

Business Ethics Training

Even if we know we can get away with something wrong, even if no one discovers what we are up to, our vice harms us more than it hurts any of our victims – Socrates

This quote by Socrates beautifully summarizes what ethics morally are. Coming to business ethics, also known as corporate ethics, they can be broadly defined as professional ethics, which can be applied to all aspects of business conduct and are relevant to the conduct of all the employees within the organization. Ethics regulate areas and details of behavior that lie beyond the control of law or the government. This is what differentiates ethics from legal limitations set by the governing authorities.

Thus, an important distinction to remember is that behaving ethically is not quite the same thing as behaving lawfully, as ethics are about what is right and what is wrong, while law is about what is lawful and what is unlawful. Ethics are moral guidelines, which govern good behavior. So behaving ethically is doing what is morally right. Behaving ethically in business is widely regarded as good business practice.

Ethical principles and standards in business define acceptable conduct in business and should underpin how management takes decisions. An ethical decision is one that is both legal and meets the ethical standards.

Why is training required in business ethics?

Ethics is something that we might have grown up with. We have been hearing the importance of ethical behavior from our parents, teachers etc. We might have even applied the ethical principles several times in our day to day activities personally or professionally. Why there is still the need to get trained in business ethics?

This is because training in business ethics discusses ethical issues related to business from a wide variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives. It gives an opportunity to the participants to examine moral aspects of systems of production, consumption, marketing, advertising, social & economic accounting, labor, public relations and organizational behavior. We might be aware of moral behavior in a society, but one needs thorough guidance & training to understand ethical behavior & decisions in business.

Interest in business ethics has been increasing since 1960. It has been spurred as a result of headlines on business scandals. Ethical code in business improves organizational values, customers value the company more, cultivates strong team work & productivity, supports employee growth, avoids criminal acts, promotes strong public image, and contributes to enhanced performance. Thus, it is today necessary to have good understanding of ethics in business before getting into decision making role in any company.

Why get trained from Dr Prem?

Dr Prem being one of the leading consultants in business today has thorough understanding of every aspect of business including ethics involved in modern business. Additionally, as he has travelled throughout the globe in several countries for giving his expertise to governments & corporate across the world, he understands global culture & ethics wrt globalization as well as certain ethical codes that are specific to a certain geographic location.

Dr Prem’s workshop on business ethics will help participants define and understand ethics, understand the benefits of business ethics, create strategies to implement ethics at work, recognize social & business responsibility, identify ethical & unethical behavior and learn how to make ethical decisions and lead with integrity.

Project Management Training

June 20, 2013/in Training /by Dr Prem Jagyasi and Team

Training in project management by Dr Prem & Associates

What is project management?

Project management includes planning, organizing, executing, and concluding a particular task or project. It also includes controlling resources to execute the project in hand and achieve specific set of goals. A project is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end (for an example a event) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives (in case of an event, the objective might be varied including networking, profit making etc, in case of business events; and wedding, celebration, etc in case of consumer based events).

The temporary nature of projects is in contrast to the usual business (or operations), which comprises of continuous, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services and further promote and market them. The management of these two systems is often quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.

What does training in project management do?

The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while overcoming the preconceived constraints. The primary constraints are scope, meeting deadlines wrt time, quality and budget. The secondary challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and integrate them to meet pre-defined objectives.

Training workshops provide an overview of successful project management techniques and introduce tools that participants can use to plan, organize, and execute a particular project. Training also gives thorough understanding of role of project manager and the key requirements for project planning, design, as well as implementation. The case studies discussed in modern times training programs show how to set up tasks, assignments & timeframes; how to build a team to help with your project; and introduce you to some tools to make project management easier.

Training in Communication

June 20, 2013/in Training /by Dr Prem Jagyasi and Team

Strategic Communication Training | Training in Communication

Importance of communications in current competitive times

Corporate communication has today garnered the importance of being the voice of an organization. It speaks internally to employees, as well as externally to all the stakeholders including investors, media, vendors, etc. It speaks when things are going well in an organization and also when there is a crisis situation. Thus, one can say that communications is an integral part of any organization. However, effective communication is significant not only for specialized communication professionals but at all levels of business irrespective of hierarchy in an organization.

Communication is required to perform almost all the functions including planning, organizing, executing etc. Communication serves as a foundation for strategizing. All the essential information needs to be communicated to the managers who in-turn communicate the plans to their subordinates so as to implement them. Communication whether written or oral is extremely vital in any business. Thus, in current competitive times, it is extremely important for all the professionals to have good communication skills.

Why training is essential for effective communications?

Business communication goes beyond just a flow of information from one desk to the other. Today, it requires a lot of strategizing to plan communication for different stakeholders. Communication broadly can be categorized as internal and external communications. External communication as discussed before needs to be carefully drafted as it is a voice of an organization in any situation to the external world. Internal communication on the other hand undoubtedly is the essence of management, as the basic functions of management including strategizing; organizing, directing and controlling cannot be performed well without effective communication.

Considering the importance of communication, it is essential for everyone to undergo communication training if one intends to be a good manager in future, as one might need to overcome lots of challenges before one becomes an effective communicator. Studies indicate that spelling and grammar still play major roles in how audiences evaluate business professionals. It is often advised to younger professionals to double-check their communication for tone, relevance and especially presentation. Older decision-makers may refuse to conduct business with young representatives using unprofessional communication.

In most organizations, effective communication offers the best opportunity to make an outstanding first impression. Using powerful words, images and messages, business professionals can craft strong internal partnerships while developing the foundation of a solid client base.

Why take communication lessons from Dr Prem?

Time Management Training

June 20, 2013/in Training /by Dr Prem Jagyasi and Team

Dr Prem’s Training – Time Management

Time Management refers to managing time effectively. It implies allocating right time to the right activity as per the set priorities. Effective time management allows people to assign specific time slots to activities as per their importance. Time Management simply refers to optimal use of time. It includes effective planning, setting goals & objectives, deciding deadlines, delegating responsibilities, prioritizing activities etc.

One needs to be extremely organized to manage time effectively. For example, if you are a kind who keeps stacks of files and heaps of paper at your workstation, you are setting a poor example of a person who manages time appropriately. Discard what all you don’t need. Put important documents in folders. Keep the files in their respective drawers with labels on top of each file. It saves time, which goes on unnecessary searching when you need something.

Another important criterion of time management is misuse of time. For example, one would find several offices with a certain group of gossip mongers. This is a perfect example of misuse of time. Light hearted activity like a small stroll after lunch is fine, but wasting time by gossiping around is not appropriate. One needs to concentrate on work and finish assignments on the set deadlines. Also, one needs to be focused for effective time management. You need to develop the habit of using planners, organizers, table top calendars for better time management.

Training for time management

Time is the only resource in the world that is distributed to everyone in equal measure. Everyone has the exact same 365 days a year, seven days a week and 24 hours a day. Thus, when it comes to time management, it is your decision, and not your circumstances, that will determine how successfully you manage your time in order to achieve your most valuable goals.

The training on time management opens your eyes to simple methods and techniques to managing your day at work and ensuring you remain as efficient and productive as possible. Training focuses on giving you insight on optimal use of time to your advantage.
