Six Stages of Strategic IT Management

Six Stages of Strategic IT Management

Business is all about planning, execution, and management. It is much like a road trip around our great southern land, you can’t just start your journey without having finalised the destination. The path you take is your planned roadmap. The final destination is your goal. This is strategising at its best. Knowing where to reach, how to go about it and actually doing it is not the end of the journey. It is just the beginning. What comes after this is strategic management.

Working From Home – How to Stay Secure

Working From Home – How to Stay Secure

So your employer has let you work from home and now you’re wondering “how do you stay secure?” There are more and more employees that are working from home nowadays and it’s becoming the norm. I personally think is fantastic because it’s lowering the number of cars that we have on the roads during peak times, which is a huge problem. You go along and there are five cars each with one person in them, instead of one car with five people in. There are more traffic and greenhouse gas emissions for no reason. Anyway, that’s another story. What we’re going to be doing today is discussing how to stay secure from both a business perspective, as well as from the freelancer remote workers perspective. Let’s start with the freelancer.

The Pros and Cons of Working Flexibly

The Pros and Cons of Working Flexibly

I’ve been asked today to talk about the pros and cons of a flexible work environment. While working from home might mean fewer distractions, people can get lonely and it can lead to spending long periods of time online. Working from home requires a certain level of discipline. I would say you need to have a balance between working from home life and your social life. I know myself when I was in a relationship with someone that did work standard hours and I was in a flexible work environment, I was sometimes seeing people and sometimes I wasn’t.

What is Your Favourite Digital Marketing Tool?

What is Your Favorite Digital Marketing Tool?

In this modern day and age, everything comes down to marketing, and today we’re going to be discussing our favourite digital marketing tools. Digital Marketing is so important and there are always new trends developing as technology changes. For us, we find that as a company that deals with business-to-business we do use LinkedIn quite a bit for our marketing. We find that its quite effective and that people are conducive to getting information about a business through LinkedIn. For businesses that have a more business-to-consumer type approach, we definitely find Facebook works better. But for us, LinkedIn is fantastic.

What Stops You Employing Remotely?

What Is Stopping You From Employing Remotely?

Today, we’ve been asked about hiring remotely and it’s an interesting one, because here at Dorks Delivered we do hire abroad and think it can be fantastic when done properly. We have people that work within Australia, as well as people that work overseas for us. The reason we decided to hire people remotely was due to a couple of factors. The main one is that we operate an IT company. As part of our business we need to monitor and manage other companies, and a lot of the time we needed to do this overnight. If we can monitor and get the work done during the off-peak time for these companies, we can make sure that they have their uptime and integrity during the day. Remote hiring is perfect for this, and perfect for some parts of our business.

How to Improve Team Dynamics

Business means working in groups. When people work in groups, different and distinctive personalities emerge. Based on these personalities, the group members take on roles and behave accordingly. This is known as “group dynamics”. A team is a group of people working together so the same dynamics apply to the team. The performance of a team is directly proportional to the team dynamics. Good dynamics will increase productivity and lead to good decision making and vice-versa. Every leader aspires to have a good team with him so the group can achieve to its highest potential.

How to Improve Your Team’s Mindset and Grow Your Business

7 Motivation and Mindset Strategies for Business Growth in Any Industry

Important achievements require a clear focus, all-out effort, and a bottomless trunk full of strategies. Plus allies in learning – Carol Dweck

Success and growth cannot be achieved by sitting idle and assuming that business can now run on its own. It is not your DNA which will decide how far you will go and neither will the success of your predecessors determine your own success. “Motivation” and “Mindset” are the two key elements of achieving business growth in any industry. Goals give direction while motivation and mindset help achieve them. Every day going to work, with a fixed mindset, may help you achieve your goals but it will not inspire anyone to do better. To achieve the wow! factor, you need to have a growth mindset which provides the right motivation to improve and persevere at all costs.

How to Reduce Recurring Expenses in Business

How hot is it? Christmas in Australia. Who thought of that? It’s rubbish. Way too hot to do any work but if you’re a business owner it’s a great time to catch up. One of the things that I love to do around this time because I don’t have any friends is, I love going through invoices on a reoccurring schedule and just making sure that you are getting the best deal because there’s a lot of hot deals out there in the hot summer’s heat.
