Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

1. Houston is a National Draw
• Houston remains one of the top moving destinations in the
U.S., according to the American Moving and Storage
Association.
• Yahoo Real Estate reports that Houston ranked No. 3 on the
association’s list of popular moving destinations from January
to March of this year, based on inbound shipments.
• The cities on the list share some common characteristics,
such as a reasonable cost of living and plenty of activities for
singles, couple and families.
• The article also cites reasonable housing prices and plentiful
job opportunities, particularly in the energy and chemical
industries, as factors drawing people to Houston.
• The complete article is available here: http://yhoo.it/LRCuum.
2. Texas Among the Best States for Retirement
• Texas is the nation’s No. 2 state to retire, according to a new
survey by TopRetirements.com.
• Among the reasons cited for this ranking are the fact that
there is no income tax in Texas, the cost of living is low and
the climate is warm.
• While TopRetirements.com acknowledges that Texas’
property taxes are higher than in other states, it notes that
there are protections for seniors.
• In addition, the Lone Star State boasts 40 certified retirement
cities.
• The report also indicates that each retiree household that
moves to Texas creates 1.5 jobs.
• The complete article is available here: http://bit.ly/KwOtDI.
3. Mortgage Rates Drop Even Lower
• Mortgage rates hit new record lows in the week ending June
7, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage average declining to
3.67% from 3.75% in the prior week, Freddie Mac said in its
weekly report last Thursday. The rate was 4.49% a year
earlier.
• "Fixed mortgage rates reached new record lows for the sixth
consecutive week as long-term Treasury bond yields declined
further following downwardly revised economic growth and
job creation data," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's chief
economist.
• The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage also hit a record low in the
most recent week, falling to 2.94% from 2.97% in the prior
week.
4. Weekly HAR Market Stat
Last year at this time, the housing market was in a holding pattern of uncertainty and
negativity. This year, it is acceptable to have hope again. Sellers have listed less
inventory and buyers are absorbing existing inventory. Foreclosures, while still present,
are having a less detrimental impact since low-priced inventory has already been
purchased, forcing consumers up the price ladder. Homes are now selling quicker and
for closer to list prices in many submarkets. The short sale process, loan availability
and some appraisals continue to threaten a quicker recovery, but less so recently.
In the Houston region, for the week ending June 3:
• New Listings decreased 6.8% to 2,137
• Pending Sales increased 43.2% to 1,737
• Closed Sales increased 43.9% to 1,735
