Podcasts about Benchmarking

Employers who are forcing their employees back to the office are trying to reassert control over their workers, but doing so often backfires, because workers are using worker power and unions to protect their interests. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which describes why a forced return to office is leading to worker power.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/why-a-forced-return-to-office-is-leading-to-worker-power/

Benchmarking Floor Plans: A Comparative Study of Matterport, Zillow, Cubicasa, iGuide, and Urbanimmersive 3D Video Fusion [The following is reprinted with the permission of Urbanimmersive.] 21 November 2023 The real estate industry is witnessing a surging demand for integrated floor plans. Amidst this growth, various floor plan providers are vying for a larger slice of the market. Recognizing the need to evaluate the effectiveness of different floor plan technologies, FloorPlanOnline®, a renowned expert in the floor plan sector since 2004, embarked on a benchmarking study. This study assessed the accuracy and time efficiency of various technologies. Urbanimmersive, a key player in this domain, has secured the rights to publish and provide insights on these findings. Among the evaluated technologies is Urbanimmersive's new 3D Video Fusion. So... -- While acknowledging our inherent bias, we aim to offer an informed perspective, leveraging our industry experience to shed light on our technology's notable performance in the study.-- Let's delve into the findings and implications. Study Overview: FloorPlanOnline®'s evaluation focused on major contenders in the 3D tour technology arena including Matterport, Zillow, iGuide, Urbanimmersive 3D Video Fusion and Cubicasa. The assessment primarily revolved around the accuracy of these technologies in capturing Gross Living Area (GLA) measurements. The GLA measure has been selected for the following reasons: => The presence of open spaces in floor plans, which often blur the boundaries between different zones is not alone a good indication of precision; => Differences in how providers apply measurement rules of room. This includes considerations like the treatment of closets in room dimensions and the approach to measuring rooms at 45-degree angles. It is agreed that regardless of how room dimensions are assessed and presented by providers, these should not affect the final calculation of the Gross Living Area (GLA). Additionally, the study evaluated the time efficiency of each technology in scanning a space. Urbanimmersive's comments further extends to considerations like equipment, cost, delivery time, and the quality of output. While FloorPlanOnline®'s study presupposes adherence to the best practices and guidelines established by each technology provider, it's important to note a caveat. Our observations suggest that, although it didn't markedly affect the outcomes, certain specific rules for creating precise floor plans using 3D Video Fusion weren't always followed consistently. We can only surmise that similar deviations might occur with other providers. Therefore, the results of the FloorplanOnline® study could potentially differ from what those providers might achieve themselves. Each technology provider was benchmarked against a professional hand laser measure survey. The house layout used for the test presented multiple small challenges, including curved stairs, the step down to the living room floor, and the diagonal shape of the office. -- Urbanimmersive Blog post continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WGANForum.com): https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/19262/page/1/benchmarking-floor-plans-matterportzillowcubicasaiguideurbanimmersive/

Arnott's last month landed the Advertising Council's Grand Effie after launching a master brand campaign that CMO Jenni Dill says delivered “10 per cent sales growth in dollar terms and three quarters of a share point growth” across the portfolio. It also helped put Arnott's ahead of the three-year growth plan she'd had to present to the board 13 days after joining from McDonald's. “Phenomenal” results, says Publicis Groupe CEO Michael Rebelo, given the effort it takes to move FMCG “super brands” like Tim Tams even a quarter of a per cent. And just the kind of hard business results Arnott's private equity owners KKR need to see from marketing. Dill says KKR is happy to keep investing in growth, hence her signing up for the job, provided she's not coming to them with soft metrics. So after working on new product sets, including healthier and gluten free ranges, and before approaching the hard, rational board with plans for a big, emotional TV-led push, she doubled down on pre-testing, market mix modelling and media benchmarking to show exactly where the growth opportunities lay. Backing secured, Dill went out with a fully integrated campaign tapping Arnott's Australian heritage and biscuity ‘moments that matter' that has since delivered in spades. Despite interest rate hikes hitting consumers hard, she predicts the brand investment will act as a moat and keep delivering well into 2024. Now Dill and Rebelo have their eyes on one, maybe two more Effies for next year, to make up for the one they're convinced they should have had last year. Here's how they landed the most coveted annual award for the serious end of town – and their take on how current market sentiment will play out across the piste into 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TX explosion, Psyops and manifestos! Liars! Cowards! Transgressor, culprits and corrupt pieces of dog shit. And I quote! “Corruption is a cancer that eats away at a citizens faith in democracy, diminishes the instinct or innovation and creativity” and quote -Joe Biden. Yet we get ushered in into a cycle of fear mongering days and wasted turbulent nights. Benchmarking the future of our children with false ballots and the reign of weak men killing innocent children or better yet, retarded press speakers with polluted agendas that promote and glorify transgender abominations disguised as rainbow snow cones. The TRUTH is Donald Trump is inevitable, our republic will be reinstated and Joe Biden will not destroy America. The public is waking up and the polls explain why. To break free from mental slavery I had to evoke the presence and the pressure of a personal friend. Freedom fighting father and patriot. A New York Lion, business owner and destroyer of fantasies.

Hello everyone and welcome to The Magellan Network. We are approaching the end of 2023, and November typically marks the start of strategic planning for your personal and professional goals. In my almost three decades of being a coach, I have established 21 different success benchmarks for financial advisors. In this episode, I've put together a mini-masterclass to walk you through a few of these benchmarks. My goal for today is to inform you why these benchmarks matter, how you can use them to improve yourself and to inspire you to join me in the Magellan Vision 10x 2024 Masterclass so we can work on a 10-year vision plan for yourself. I also talked about the following: (06:03) The value of having a written 10-year strategic plan (06:28) Why it's important to invest 10% of your capital and time back into yourself (11:13) Why associations matter (19:11) How your health influences your earning potential (20:59) What I learned about success in this industry I invite you to be a part of our 23rd annual strategic planning conference: Magellan Vision 10x 2024 Masterclass. Join the virtual event and get access to all recordings, tools, and templates you need to 10x your game. Register Today! → https://www.fabizplan.com/ The Magellan Academy & Network The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically. I have spent over 25 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed 1,000's of advisors (below are video and written testimonials by many of them). Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it's about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision. I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision. Here is what you are going to get from me each month: - A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day. - 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into four areas I mentioned above. - A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together. Here is what you can do each month: - Post a question to me and I will answer it. - Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors. - Invite other great advisors into the network. Your Bottom Line: Here is the deal. I am not going to ask you for a credit card. Like I said before, coaching is personality driven. You might not like my style or tactics. So with that in mind here is my offer to you. Complete the short form below. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the network for the next 14-days. I personally approve each submission so this might take a few hours or a day at the most. I will not ask for compensation of any kind during that 14-days. If after experiencing my work for 30-days and if you believe that I can help you, here is the deal. To remain in Magellan Network and have access to Magellan Academy, your daily investment in yourself will only be about the price of a Latte these days. One more thing, it's a month-to-month deal. I'm not going to lock you into anything. Take action now and complete the short form below and I look forward to welcoming you personally inside the Magellan Network. www.magellannetwork.net

What does it look like to scale your RIA and how long does it take? How big of an impact does it really make to have a niche? When should you start hiring, and who should it be when you do?  Co-Founders Alan Moore and Michael Kitces met onstage this year to review the highlights of the seventh-annual Member Benchmarking Study in this episode of XYPN Radio. Every year, the study gathers information from XYPN member participants to get an accurate picture of how advisors are doing in their firms.  This episode tells the story of how XYPN firms are scaling and what to look out for in your own journey.

We talk about Sylvain's upcoming testimony in Ottawa (well, in Halifax, really), for the 18th time in his career with the Department of Finance, pre-budget consultations, the Federal government's Thanksgiving press conference and their own response, or lack thereof, to food affordability in Canada. We also highlight the significance of addressing sales taxes on various food products and tackling the issue of "shrink-inflation." The episode also delves into the triggering of the "exceptional circumstance mechanism" by the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers as they try to prevent an increase in dairy prices and the relative cost delta between Canada and the U.S. in the industrial cost of dairy. Lastly, we talk about the short and long-run issues of significant weight loss in society thanks to semaglutide injections, also known as Wegovy or Ozempic and Sylvain's  8th book, out this week, "La part du gâteau" i.e. Our piece of the pie: today's food geopolitics."About KristinKirstin Beardsley stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer of Food Banks Canada on February 1, 2022.

ShownotesA while ago I invited Samantha Ndiwalana, a Senior Researcher at World Benchmarking Alliance to talk about the pivotal role of the private sector in meeting the SDGs. The WBA maps 2000 of the worlds most influential companies. The influence is staggering, the companies have over $36.5 trillion in revenue and employ more than 97 million people across 85 countries. How are these companies identified? It starts with looking at the seven transformations needed to meet UN SDGs: Social, Food and Agriculture, Decarbonisation and Energy, Nature, Digital, Urban and Financial. The WBA then go on to identify the 2000 keystone companies within these industries based on 5 principles that goes beyond just size and also looks at impact and influenceIt is a tall order to challenging the prevailing bias that leading companies are based only in Western countries or the global north to ensure that the right companies are included in that list. Samantha and I discussed this and more in our conversation
