The TLDR: It's often tempting for PMs to think the next feature they launch will magically fix the product. The reality, almost always, is that it won't.</div>

One of the core tools of the PM role is writing specs (or PRDs - project requirement documents) that define what a feature is, who it's for, and how it should be built. Given that, writing well is a key skill for PMs.</div>

Benchmarks are super helpful when you are prepping for an interview or planning and proposing a new product in your company. I worked on building Benchmarks products at ServiceNow and love the insights they provide to have meaningful conversations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

Without a doubt, your business judgment and quantitative skills will be the workhorses in market sizing drills. But there is a key "spark plug" that will help get things started: a good bank of key facts and figures. Earlier, we referred to this as a super power. That's true for three specific reasons: 1) it provides good starting points 2) good data points for proxies and 3) good data for running quick sanity checks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
For example, consider a case where someone asks you to size the dental floss market in China, or India or the United States. If you have no idea of the rough populations of those countries, you're going to be off to a rough start. While firms won't expect you know to esoteric facts, there are a key set of figures that you should know because they'll be helpful as stating points and baselines for sanity checking your estimates.</div>

Likewise, if you are looking at improving your services, applications etc., then you have also started a Continual Service Improvement activity. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Continual Service Improvement: Organizations talk about it and think about it, but in reality, often do not plan for it, schedule it, allocate resources to it or monitor it. Improvement initiatives are often reactionary in nature to a specific event and are not proactive in nature. Implementing a CSI practice requires management commitment and participation to move from a reactive to a proactive practice. Whether improving services, service management processes or the service lifecycle itself, there will be a cost to implementing a CSI practice; however, there is a much greater cost to not implementing the practice. Organizations will spend tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars and even millions of dollars to develop and implement service management processes; yet, they don’t have any plan on how to continually improve the processes. This paper will discuss the scope of CSI and where to start improvement initiatives. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Implementing CSI can be done in different ways, and the correct way is dependent on exactly what your organization wishes to accomplish in the short term and the long term and then aligning your improvement initiative to business goals and strategies. The scope of CSI in IT address three primary areas of IT Service Management:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>• IT Service Management Processes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>• IT Services<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>• IT Function and Life Cycle Management<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My recommendation is to start with improving IT Service Management Processes first, as improving the processes will lead to improving your IT Services. As an example, for many organizations, if they review their Incident Management data they will discover that around 70% of major incidents are change related. This percentage is too high and ultimately has a negative effect on the availability of many IT Services. Even though ITIL V3 is made up of five core books, the reality is that when starting on any CSI initiative, most organizations need to address pain points first in order to show value and gain the support of the business and functional groups within IT. There are often some quick wins with some low hanging fruit that will provide immediate improvement without having to develop and implement a full process. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Processes Improvement – Where Do I Start?</b> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For many organizations, process pain points are usually found in Incident Management, Problem Management and Change Management. The lack of mature documented processes often drives organizations to consistent firefighting, reacting to events that are often self-inflicted, such as a high number of failed changes; incidents that are escalated to the wrong support groups; or a total lack of Problem Management to identify and remove errors from the infrastructure that often cause a high number of recurring incidents. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Change Management</b> is a control process and thus it is important to obtain a level of maturity that provides the IT organization with the efficiency and effectiveness of managing changes in order to protect the production environment. There are often some quick wins with low hanging fruit that can provide some immediate improvement without having to develop and implement a full process. This could be creating a Request for Change (RFC) form if one does not exist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Incident management</b> is a data gathering process, so it is important to ensure that all incidents are logged into the appropriate tool and that there is a consistent priority model used for all incidents so that you can find improvement opportunities. An organization may discover that they handle priority 1, 2 and 4 really well; however, they have a tendency to breach more on priority 3. Developing assignment and escalation procedures can provide a quick win for Incident Management. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For Incident, Change and Problem Management it is important to start providing some level of management reporting to understand the health of the process. It is also important to realize that Change and Incident Management are customer-facing processes that provide a lot of IT visibility to the business and thus have the ability to create a positive or negative perception of IT. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another quick win is the documentation and agreement of Operating Level Agreements (OLAs). OLAs need to be in place to support any existing Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Service Level Targets or Service Level Objectives. An OLA between the Service Desk and the rest of the IT functional groups such as the desktop, database, or application groups is often a good first step to ensure that there is a consistent handling of incidents through the Incident Lifecycle in order to meet any agreed to response and/or repair times. <o:p></o:p></div>

You can use the below diagram to start your continual Improvement journey in a simple framework. You identify the Improvement opportunity, plan the tasks that need to happen, Implement the tasks/changes and review the progress and goals & strategic objective achieved.<o:p></o:p></div>

AI and machine learning can help SaaS create a more strategic position<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All big player like Amazon, Google and Microsoft in the market are announcing offerings that integrate AI. Oracle, another big player in SaaS market said it is placing a big bet on AI and Machine learning to overtake salesforce in SaaS. These are a solid indicator that that AI and machine learning could be the next step in differentiating a SaaS and helping it to carve out space in the market.<o:p></o:p></div>

<h2>
How SaaS use AI and machine learning<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SaaS is picking up on the trend for AI and machine learning and investment in this area is on a continuous rise. Below are some of the SaaS solutions where machine learning is playing a strategic role.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h4>
<b>1. Personalization</b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
AI can bring the option of hyper-personalization to SaaS, something which we have already seen in mobile apps in particular (looks at Starbucks’ “My Starbucks Barista”). In SaaS, natural language processing and the ability of AI to learn from user’s previous interactions can help configure user interfaces so that they cater to the individual.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For example, if you think about any SaaS without AI capability, adding more functions or features tends to cram the user interface and add complexity for the user. AI can help not only with personalization but with the easier adoption of features.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<o:p> </o:p>2. <b>Automation</b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Automation is demonstrated in many different ways in SaaS with AI baked in. It can take over where previously manual functions were required, for example, in the <span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="https://www.koombea.com/blog/will-bots-really-replace-apps/"><span style="color: #01d099; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast;">case of chatbots</span></a> </span>that help to provide users with answers to basic questions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Automation reduces costs because they eliminate the need to hire additional people to handle more work. A bot replies to login reset questions with an automated response in a link to a knowledge base, freeing customer support reps to focus on more challenging questions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the challenges for SaaS is always keeping an engaged customer base from a remotely operated perspective. It can be difficult staying on top of customer service requests and ensuring that every customer gets a good experience. AI can help with that by reducing that remoteness and stepping in to supplement human effort.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For example, there are already several examples of apps (Verizon, banking apps etc.) where chatbots answer questions up to a point, but refer users to human operators where necessary.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 16.5pt; margin-top: 0in;">
There are many potential ways in which AI built into SaaS can <span style="color: #444444;"><a href="https://www.koombea.com/blog/predictive-analytics-retain-app-users/"><span style="color: #01d099;">leverage predictive analytics</span></a></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span>to create a better user experience and/or help to arrest churn for SaaS. For example, machine learning can help to predict user preferences or behavior, then perhaps trigger alerts or actions when it appears the user is disengaging.<o:p></o:p></div>

5. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Product Search</span><u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the user searches for a product, how do we find the best results for the user? One factor used in product ranking is user click-through rates or product sell-through rates. In addition, user behavioural data gives the link from a query, to a product page view, all the way to the purchase <a href="https://datafloq.com/meet?utm=internal"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration-line: none;">event</span></a>. Through large-scale data analysis of query logs, we can create graphs between queries and products, and between different products.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We can also mine data to understand user query intent. When a user search for “Toyota Prius”, are they searching for a new car, or just repair parts of the car? Query intent detection comes from understanding the user, other users’ searches, and the semantics of query terms.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 16.5pt; margin-top: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
5. <b>Deploying Code</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The consequences for a SaaS rushing through the code and deploying early, only to have a crash or bug that affects all users can be very costly. Reputation and potential liability issues abound, yet being able to deploy quickly can be a distinct advantage. If you’re in a competitive market, the difference between leading or lagging can be if you are first to reach people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
AI is a game-changer for SaaS developers because it can augment their own coding abilities by providing the necessary checks that the coding is good. Deployment can be cut down from months to a very short time when AI can verify that the SaaS is built to scale to thousands of users.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 16.5pt; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><a href="https://www.docker.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01d099;">Docker</span></a> </span>is an example of this, checking and testing code for quick deployment. Look out for further developments in this area – <span style="color: #444444;"><a href="https://qz.com/920468/artificial-intelligence-created-by-microsoft-and-university-of-cambridge-is-learning-to-write-code-by-itself-not-steal-it/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #01d099;">Microsoft and the University of Cambridge</span></a> </span>are working on teaching AI to write the code itself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. <b>Enhanced security</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cloud security issues are always a hot topic among SaaS, and traditional security measures tend to be static, perimeter devices which require human input to update for new threats. AI gives SaaS the possibility of security services that can replicate and learn from new security threats automatically. <a href="https://solutionsreview.com/cloud-platforms/oracle-adds-machine-learning-and-ai-to-cloud-security-services/" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration-line: none;">Oracle</span></a> has recently added machine learning and AI to their cloud security services, facilitating automated threat detection.<o:p></o:p></div>

<h2>
Big Opportunity Ahead<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">AI represents a new generation of SaaS products and the opportunity to embrace new ways to gain a market edge. We are seeing many of the bigger players move into this space already and industry experts predict it will continue to grow.<o:p></o:p></span><u1:p></u1:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">By and large, the most frequent applications of machine learning in SaaS today are efficiency applications - automating the high-volume manual processes and reducing costs. Consequently, if you looking to build a machine learning based SaaS company, find a really expensive internal process and automate it.<o:p></o:p></span><u1:p></u1:p></div>

My parents are going back to India this weekend. This was their fourth trip here. I have learned few things in my efforts to make each of their stay as pleasant as possible. Here are some notes that can help if your parents are visiting you first time:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQqnMJTxlWnzE8uu2HKjIOc2a74aW14CHv0AfYUp3Bkh_AYm3TX0Hry5yxet_TEMzVqDWh4h_EJP3pxxVUFwdkysO_Eb3F0rdhmesSk-r6KcKudPvnQVD4rD6YQMOtMS_8RoSh/s1600/IMG_4016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQqnMJTxlWnzE8uu2HKjIOc2a74aW14CHv0AfYUp3Bkh_AYm3TX0Hry5yxet_TEMzVqDWh4h_EJP3pxxVUFwdkysO_Eb3F0rdhmesSk-r6KcKudPvnQVD4rD6YQMOtMS_8RoSh/s400/IMG_4016.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <b>Make a good plan to deal with Jet-leg: </b><br />
Parents (especially ones who travel infrequently) will experience this in the form of excessive fatigue and odd sleep hours.<br />
Here are few thing you should tell in advance before they board their flight<br />
- Food preference - if your parents are vegetarian then put the meal request and make sure it shows up online.<br />
- Try to avoid caffeine and Alcohol in flight; and consume more water and juices<br />
- Sleep as much as they can during the flight<br />
- Ask them not to shy in taking frequent walks up and down the aisle to keep blood circulation moving<br />
- Once they have landed, expose them to sunlight, barefoot walk in the park really helps in reducing the jetleg faster<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <b>Plan to Tackle boredom:</b><br />
Once the jet lag wears off, it is difficult for people to sit at home and do nothing. Some ideas to mitigate this:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Nearby parks are an attractive daily location for them to meet other fellow visitors</li>
<li>Indian TV channels could be subscribed to for the kind of entertainment that they are used to back in India</li>
<li>Local libraries are a great place for parents to read newspapers, magazines, books and borrowing movies. </li>
<li>Let them accompany you to local events and enjoy some of your lifestyle. </li>
<li>If you have a local Indian community center nearby, enroll them in any of their programs of interest as that is a good place for them to socialize with other fellow Indians</li>
<li>Local gym or yoga classes are another interesting place when they can spend good time and get health benefits from exercise </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. <b>Educate more about US culture-</b> things like how to walk or drive safely on roads, how to buy stuff in a super market. Make sure they always have enough cash while you are not home so that they can buy something if needed. Educate them on how to dial US phone numbers and India phone numbers so that they can reach out to you or other family member in india whenever they like.</div>
<div>
<br />
4. <b>Make list for place to visit- </b>Keep in mind the interest of your parents before planning a trip for them. Do not be in a hurry to make hectic domestic travel plans. For example malls are interesting to lots of people, but my parents always preferred to visit a park, temple or Gurudwara. Taking parents to local religious places will help them relax and enjoy the programs<br />
<br />
5. <b>Talk to them everyday -</b>I know we get busy with office and kids. But make sure you sit and talk to them everyday for at least 20-30 minutes. Give small update about what happened during the day and ask them what they did. Talk about some other family members or relatives to get the conversation started.<br />
<br />
6. <b>Invites friends and relatives- </b>Engaging in such social activities makes them feel included in the surroundings while also giving them an opportunity to chat with others besides yourselves in an informal setting. This is important if your parents are visiting you for extended period of time<br />
<div>
<br />
7. <b>Insurance coverage</b><br />
A good travel insurance policy that protects you while your parents travel and stay in USA is most important part of US travel plan. You can read about available options here <a href="http://www.visitorscoverage.com/">travel insurance for US </a>.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 25.9091px;">Just finished listening audiobook The FOUR Agreements. This is a must read book and by far the best book I read in 2015. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 25.9091px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 25.9091px;">Here is some key take aways from the book:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 25.9091px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 25.9091px;">Don explains how to rewire our belief system so that we can create a new world for ourselves -- a new perspective of the world around us and of ourselves.</span><br />

In the first chapter, Domestication and the Dream of the Planet, Don sets the stage for the book and explains how the world we're living in is nothing more than a dream world that we've been domesticated to believe is real and unchangeable. In the book, an "agreement" is a rule that we hold as absolute truth. We have thousands of agreements in life, from the agreement that these words are English, to the agreement that gravity pulls things down.</div>

Don presents us with four agreements that he says will change our lives if we adopt them. Each of the four agreements presented reinforce the previous. The four agreements are:</div>

I recently finished a 3 months of Job search journey. Job search is not fun and I have learned a lot in last few months about what works and what not. These notes I am writing for myself so that I might need to refer them again in future. I hope you will also find these tips/advice helpful. You can leave me a comment below for any further help/question and I will happy to talk to you over phone.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Making an effective Resume: </b></h3>
Building an effective resume for your dream role take times specially if you are updating it after few years. Since I was updating my resume after 7 years so it took me around 4 weeks and by going through multiple review and changes. How do you know that resume or linkedin profile is effective now? Well, when # of hiring companies start to reach out to more often after you have applied. For example, when I initially started applying when my resume was not effective, I was only getting may be one query from 20 position I applied. But when my resume became effective, I was getting more than 5 responses back out of 20 applications.<br />
<br />
Framework for making a good resume:<br />
1. Keep is short and crisp. Start your bullet points with action verb. If you are fresh graduate or less than 5 years of experience then 1 page resume is enough. If you have more than 10 years of experience then keep in max to two pages. Look
for job posting to find out market is looking for. Looks out for trend. Find
your gaps, honest about it and fill the gaps<br />
2. Focus on showing what problem you have solved rather than just saying you worked on something<br />
3. Quantify your achievement in number to show the impact on company. Think how your worked helped company in terms of % cost saving, % revenue increase, % quality improvement, %market increase in market share, % customer increase in customer satisfactions..etc<br />
4. Give more focus on highlighting what you have achieved in last 3-5 years. What you have been working on in last 3 years matter most to the hiring manager. In term of bullet point for each job: keep 4-6 bullet for most recent, 3-4 bullet for second recent and not more than 2 bullet point for all other jobs that you have worked in past<br />
5. Show that you are a doer. Highlight some of you work that you may have done outside of your job<br />
6. Some people are also making infographic resume to grab attention quickly. Its not mandatory but its up to you if you want to spend effort on making you resume more creative<br />
<br />
Before submitting Resume:<br />
1. Read the job description at least two times to identify the keys skills and experience that they are looking and align your resume accordingly by highlighting the matching skillets and related problem you solved.<br />
2. Proof read your resume 2-3 times for typos, page alignment and save and send a pdf version instead of word copy.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Job Search:</b><br />
Create a list of 40+ companies that is precisely ordered for job search success<br />
<br />
My first choice is Linked: Linkedin has gotten so better in last 2-3 years that you do hardly need to go to any other job site. More of their listing are upto date, current and you can do a custom search for what target location or companies you are searching for very easily. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.3333px;">When using linkedin not just focus on using PROFILE & JOBS tabs but also spend time on CONNECTIONS & INTERESTS tabs.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
How
many advocate and people you have - looking for a job without a good net is going to take really long time. Make
job search is strategy- not personal when reaching out to Alumni. Email
is good- stop asking for jobs, generalize your interest,<br />
<br />
<br />
Indeed or Simply hired - Try both and see if they are resulting in right search and compare with Monster, CareerBuilder, Dice. Once you have identified the correct search criteria and generate a good list, use the email subscription to receive a daily email from the site.<br />
<br />
Should we apply directly to company website? I would say yes - although I did not find very effective in my job search journey. But keep in mind that you goal as a job search to increase your funnel by using all possible means.<br />
<br />
Use LinkedIn to find decision makers and leverage your network to get your resume in front of someone in the company. Network with others to identify companies of interest and uncover the “hidden job market”. Attend job fairs where companies of interest will be present, and approach the job fair as a networking opportunity. Use quality search firms to open doors to companies and opportunities that are not posted.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Interview Preparation:</b></h3>
Company Research: Identify the top three strategic initiatives of the organization. What issues are keeping managers up at night. Do you search on the corporate website, Google, Twitter, the company’s page on LinkedIn, and the profiles of people who work for the organization, LinkedIn groups where they hangout, and industry groups.<br />
<br />
<b>Create a Behavior preparation Grid</b>: Behavioral question sometime get tricky based on how the question is asked. I created a Google Docs spreadsheet to jot down 2-3 different stories for each behavioral question category. A preparation grid is a grid (Excel or any spreadsheet program works great here) where the rows are each “chunk” of your resume (each project, role, club, etc) and the columns are the major behavior questions: conflicts, challenges, mistakes, what you learned, what you enjoyed, what you hated, etc. If you fill in each cell with a story (or two or three), you’ll be well prepared when your interviewer asks you a very specific question.<br />
<br />
<b>Make a 30/60/90 days plan:</b><br />
30-Day Plan/First 30 days on the job: During the first 30 days on the job, time is spent attending training, meeting team members, learning the organization’s systems and its products and services, reviewing procedures and client accounts.<br />
<br />
60-Day Plan/First 60 days on the job: Studying best practices in the industry, setting goals for the next 30 days, meeting with supervisor to gather feedback, building relationships with your colleagues, identifying potential mentors, reviewing the efficiency of company processes and procedures, visiting other department, and continuing to attend training.<br />
<br />
90-Day Plan/First 90 days on the job: Obtaining feedback on new processes and procedures, implementing new strategies and procedures, and addressing the three strategic initiatives.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Presentation on HBR Case: </b><br />
This applies to product or marketing managers. These days many hiring manager provide you a business problem and asks you to give them a presentation within 24 hours on how you would solve this. There are many HBR cases available on internet that you can use to practice<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Create your own personal brand outside of regular job: </b></h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">This is the most effective strategy I found. There are many different ways you can create your own brand and increase possibility of getting hired quickly.</span></h4>
1. <b>Write A Book.</b> If you can write a book, then that becomes your best resume. A book shows that you are an expert and thought-leader is that particular domain. I did write a book but since my passion was in fitness so it was not directly related to my work which in tech industry.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Write a white paper</b>. One of my friend shared this trick. He wrote a white paper for the problem company A was facing and send it to the company as well as their competitors. He got the interview call and received job offer in 2 weeks<br />
<br />
3.<b> Blog/Website/Social Media presence</b>. I am sure that many companies soon will start looking for your Klout score. So my advice is that you start writing small blog even if you do not like writing. Get a registered domain with your name and share some valuable content on your side even if it is created by others.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Network and become power connector</b>:<br />
1.You should always lookout for making new connections. You never know when that can be useful in connecting you to your prospective employer.<br />
2.Tap in to your college/school alumni network. Go to all your related seminar, conference and meetup and try to talk to as many people as you can.<br />
3.Create few email template for common email so that you do not have to type them again and again when you try to connect to new people over email/linkedin/social media.<br />
4.<br />
<br />
<b>During Interview:</b><br />
1. Do a power pose before you go in the interview room to fill positive thoughts and energy. Wear great cloths, feel proud of yourself, stand straight.<br />
2. Show energy, passion, interest and curiosity. Fake it until you make it. Think about how a confident person would do, behave the same way, smile and make eye contacts<br />
3. Have a framework to tell your stories: My framework was focused on my Interest, Education and Experience<br />
4. Drive interview towards your strength by leaving pointer about your strength when you answer questions.<br />
5. If you know the names of interviewer then search their profile on linked in about their interest and what they have been working on and then tailor your message according to the audience<br />
<br />
<b>Get Rejected?</b> Here how I dealt with rejection:<br />
1. When I got rejected first time, I was felling horrible because the interview went really well from my side and I was expecting a positive response. But later I found out through my network that they closed the position before hiring anyone. So you never know what exactly happen in the background and the HR person will not tell you the exact reason. The strategy I took was that my role is to keep applying without worrying about the rejections and give my best. Think of job rejection as a video game -- its not life or death, take stress as a challenge.<br />
<br />
<br />
Give 100% of yourself. Max yourself out in whole process and Good news will come soon!<br />

Windows 10 includes many different backup and system recovery tools to make it is easier to recover from a lost file, lost app, failed update, and lost hard drive scenario. Lets take a look at all available options:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. <b>File history-</b> Windows can automatically create backup copies of your files on a second drive or partition. You can use it to restore all your files if you ever lose them, restore a single file, or roll back a file to an older version. Keep in mind that this feature only backs up files located in your user account’s libraries, so add other folders to library if you want to back them up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. Reset This PC</b>: In Windows 8, there were “Refresh this PC” and “Reset this PC” options. In Windows 10, it’s just a single “Reset this PC” option.You can tell Windows to keep your user files and reset the operating system (a “refresh”) and installed programs to its default state, or remove everything (a “reset”).</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14.8199996948242px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<img src="http://cdn9.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/img_554d2e8f9db4c.jpg" /></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #172232; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 17.7839984893799px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
</h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #172232; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 17.7839984893799px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
</h3>
<div>
<div>
<b> Recovery partition is not needed</b> : Windows 10 has a new recovery system that works in an entirely different way. Windows 10 does not create a separate recovery partition (like it used to in Win8) Which means computer manufacturer will not be able to modify the main Windows recovery image and you can reset your PC back to the its pristine default state without any Manufacturer's added drivers and software. PC manufacturers will still be able to customize the computer’s state after the refresh or reset — for example, adding their own hardware drivers and any other software they want.(but not in the main image)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This gives the flexibility to user. If you do not want these manufacturer provided bloatware then you’ll just need to remove a manufacturer-provided package of changes and refresh or reset your PC to get a fresh Windows system. In previous version of Windows getting a fresh image requires performing a full reinstall of Windows using iso/dvd.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14.8199996948242px; line-height: 21px;">Here’s how Microsoft explained it:</span></div>
<div>

<b>3. Backup and Restore (Windows 7) feature is back</b>: You can use Windows Backup to more easily create a backup of practically everything on your hard drive.This was deprecated in Windows 8 and removed in Windows 8.1, but it’s back. It’s also known as “Windows Backup.”<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<b>4. System Image Backups:</b> Unlike other solutions, this allows you to create an entire image of your current Windows system, including your operating system, installed programs, settings, and user files. This backup can be stored on an external hard drive, on several DVDs, or on a network location. If you ever need to get your computer back to a specific state, you can restore this backup.if you want to create a system image backup, you don’t need third-party tools like Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
What is the difference between Full backup (Win7) and System image backup? Well, A system image is an exact copy of a drive. By default, a system image includes the system drives required for Windows to run<br />
Full backup you have to manually select the files and folder to be backup up and you can not backup the system drive<br />

5. <b>Advanced Startup Options:</b>To access them, open the Settings app, select Update & security, select Recovery, and click “Restart now” under Advanced startup. You can also hold the Shift key as you click Restart in the Start menu.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. <b>Recovery Drive or System repair disk</b>: You can create a USB recovery drive that will allow you to access these advanced startup options, even if your Windows 10 installation becomes completely damaged and you can’t access this menu.<br />
Creating a System Repair Disc (CD/DVD):The ability to create a USB recovery drive is new in Windows 8 and 10.To open the disc creation tool, press the Windows key, type recdisc, and press Enter.<br />
A recovery drive will normally not be necessary. If your computer fails to boot several times, Windows 8 or 10 will automatically bring up the advanced startup options, which allows you to troubleshoot and fix it. But it does not then a recovery or system startup repair disk comes very handy - so create and keep a copy in usb disk.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>7. OneDrive:</b> It’s now integrated into WIndows itself. Files you store in OneDrive will be stored in your OneDrive account online</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I have experimented with hundred plus different exercises in last six months. I was keeping logs of every workout, like: how did I felt after the workout? was there any body pain next day? time required to complete it? risk of injury if any? etc. etc<br />
<br />
I carefully analysed all my results and applied Pareto (80/20) rule to find out few most effective exercises that gave me best results all the time.<br />
<br />
Whenever I short on time in the morning, I would just do these 5 exercises in 15-20 minutes with very high intensity (minimal rest) interval<br />
<br />

Health and fitness have always been my top priority from school days. I have been going to gym regularly (3-5 days a week) from years -- but it has changed for me about 7 months ago. I want to share some info about why I chose to leave my traditional gym type workout behind.<br />
<br />
I worked out at the gym for years and was lifting weights few times a week. It was working well and I got plenty of muscle and gained strength. But I noticed that I started to get tight over time, I wasn’t flexible, and started to get a feeling that it would be hard to continue like this to meet my long term health goals. There are multiple ways to get the results in the fitness world but I believe it comes down to picking up something that you enjoy every-time and can continue for years to come. So I started to experiment with many other options out there, like- MMA, CorssFit, Kickboxing, Calisthenics type, different styles of Yoga, Breathing techniques and meditations.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After six months of trial and error, I currently use a combination of training styles to make sure I am training all my four muscles (Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual) on daily bases. I realized that each of these muscles are important and if one of them is weak, then your life starts to go out of control and balance.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is my typical weekly workout schedule these days</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Functional (Calisthenics: Body weight excercises) based high speed interval training (30 seconds full speed and 10 seconds rest, repeat) as the main focus-- 3 times a week</li>
<li>I do lots of dedicated stretching workout for mobility - 1-2 times a week</li>
<li>Bikram hot Yoga- Once in a week to sweat out extra toxins from the body</li>
<li>Different Breathing drills to cleanse the body and control my monkey mind - I try to do this every morning for about 10 minutes</li>
<li>Meditations - I use 'Headspace' and 'Breath' apps on my phone as guided meditation- I try to do this for 10-15 minutes every morning</li>
<li>I still have my gym membership and only going once in two weeks for specific weight training session </li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have found that doing a body weight training create a truly firm foundation, helps you get overall strong while lowering the risk of injury compared to banging the weight in gym. I am focusing on Calisthenics style combination training because it build up functional strength, natural looking bodies, you can add lots of creativity to make it fun, and healthy routines. With my recent experiments, I found that training for mobility and power rather than muscle size gets you the best of all worlds -- and some muscle size as a bonus. I am feeling more fit inside out and the focus has shifted from how do I look to how do I feel after every session.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many people I talk to lately seems to be looking for something different, as if they are bored of the same old gym/weight routine. It also seems people want to have more fun when they work out that is why places like Crossfit has become so popular in just few years. Functional strength is the strength that you need in everyday tasks, so why not design your training program to focus on that? The photo below is of me only after 4 months of calisthenics type training. My form for this “human flag” is not perfect yet in this picture, but it’s not far off. </div>
<div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
Methodologies in fitness are constantly clashing and will continue to do that. Some say lift heavy, others say don't – whom to listen? You need to experiment with your body/food habits/mind control technique to find out what is working for you. Small changes have started to yield big results for me because I have found my "sweet spot". Find yours...the key is to do the workout you love and do what you can stick with.<br />
<br />
Until then, stay focused, safe and try to train all four muscle everyday!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733333587647px;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.9733333587647px;">Low-carb diets are supposed to decreasing insulin levels -- which can help the body to burn stored fat for energy. If the diet works correctly, your body should be in a near-constant state of fat burning, which can be an effective way to lose weight.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">I have been experimenting with Carb Night and Carb Back
loading recently. The basic idea is to eat ultra-low carb (less than 30 gm) to induce
ketosis which primes your body to burn fat while preserving muscle. Then on one day of the week, during a 6-8
hours window in the evening, after your weight workout load up on a massive
amount of high glycemic index carb. This
will incite a large insulin spike which tells the body that there is plenty of
food around, preventing the typical down-regulation of metabolism seen in
starvation. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><img alt="Image result for ketosis" height="301" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRsbJjXFuZK0ijLJpMqWdQoYgfCtdJwC3e3WYlGzeeiwkSSKPiz" width="400" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">In this method, if you raise insulin even slightly by eating
carbs—30 or more grams will do it—you seriously impair your body’s ability to
burn fat for the rest of the day. Worse, you may even get fatter because of the
presence of another hormone—cortisol. A stress hormone, cortisol will break
down fat all morning, but combined with raised insulin, it can actually cause
your body to create new fat cells.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="line-height: 107%;">Carb Night:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">For six days of the week, you eat ultra low-carb (30 gram or
less) then on Sunday night, from about 6 p.m. until you go to bed, you can
pretty much eat whatever you want, including sugary food like donuts and ice
cream. Carb Nite works by keeping your body in a fat-burning state for the
majority of the week. Then, because you're so sensitized to any insulin
release, the rush of carbs and sugar on Sunday gets used more efficiently. This
means more glucose in your muscles, where it belongs, and less chub around your
waist. If you are losing weight then
increase two carbs night in a week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="line-height: 107%;">Carb backloading:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Carb back loading is a diet where you eat carbohydrates at
the end of the day. The first part of the day is spent in a ketogenic
state—almost no carbs allowed. After an evening workout and a protein shake
comes the flood of carbohydrates. The glycogen helps your muscles repair and
will keep your body from being catabolic as you sleep. Don't go crazy and eat a
donut or two every night. Try to keep your carbs clean. Instead of pizza try
sweet potatoes and rice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="line-height: 107%;">Which is effective?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">This depends on your goal. If you just want to lose weight
then carb night works well. But if you want to lose fat keeping the muscle mass
then carb backloading works better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Carb Nite can be effective without training. Carb
backloading, on the other hand, requires resistance exercise to work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="line-height: 107%;">Ideal setup if you workout in the Evening:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Until the after noon, keep your
carbs low— 30 grams or fewer. Begin your weight workout at some point between 3
p.m. and 6 p.m. Afterward, ingest a postworkout shake that’s rich in carbs, and
keep eating carbs until you go to bed. The same foods prescribed on Carb Nite
apply here—pizza, ice cream, and so on. It is not uncommon for followers of the
plan to eat 400 grams of carbs and still lose body fat while gaining muscle
mass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="line-height: 107%;">and if you work out in the Morning.</span></b><span style="line-height: 107%;"> If you train in the morning, you’ll
need to eat a small amount of carbs after your workout and take advantage of
supplements that help spike insulin so that you can recover from your workout
without throwing off the hormonal rhythms of back-loading. That night, around
six, eat your carbs, but go mainly with less sugary sources like rice and
potatoes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="line-height: 107%;">Non-Training Days</span></b><span style="line-height: 107%;"> On days you don’t lift (this
includes days you just do cardio), limit carbs to a single late-day meal. </span></div>

<br />
I’ve been reading more this year and recently skimmed through fifty dangerous thing you should let your children do. The idea of this book is that danger is something kids need to learn to handle by experience. The 50 small experiments in this book can potentially cause a minor injury but are never really seriously dangerous. In fact most of them aren’t dangerous at all, but at least they are fun. It’s too bad a book like this is needed today, because kids in today's life live a very structured and constantly supervised existence, and this is a good way to supervise a little danger.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is no magic bullet that you can use to tone up a specific body part and make fat disappear from there. Life will be so much easy if one exercise can actually do the magic in getting the result you want - but unfortunately that does not work. You can’t just take the fat and burn it right where it sits; because your body must first convert the fat into a form of fuel that your body can actually burn for energy. FAT is stored all over your body- in some body parts its more than other. Its different for men and women because of hormonal differences.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Lets look at how the FAT loss work at high level: When your body needs energy, it doesn't get it from a single specific body part. Instead it will take fat from everywhere and convert it into free fatty acids which enter your blood stream and become fuel for muscles. That is why it takes more strategic planning if you want to tone a particular body part<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>So what is an effective strategy to lose Fat and tone in one body part?</b></u><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Basics:<br />
Find out which part has more fat and focus on that area.</div>
<div>
Minimal Rest between workout sets - Light weight and more repetition</div>
<div>
Repeat this routine 4-5 times a week</div>
<div>
Keep athletic/balanced stand while doing exercise -- achieve your goal without getting hurt.</div>

<br />
<br />
Steps #1:- <b>Burn phase</b><br />
-Do 20-25 minutes high intensity/short/Interval based cardio to burn the calories then do toning so that fat gets used for energy.<br />
- I use <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okA7B5vsIYU" target="_blank">Tabata songs</a> for my high intensity internal training (HIT).<br />
- I prefer to do the exercise in the morning because your body is already in fasting mode and its relatively will burn more Fat.<br />
<br />
Step#2-<b> Tone a specific part</b><br />
Perform exercises that specifically stress the muscles of the body part that you are trying to spot reduce. (see list of exercise example for toning arm below)<br />
<br />
Steps#3 <b>Diet</b><br />
Reducing your calorie intake by 500 calories daily for seven days will result in 1 pound of fat tissue loss per week, according to the University of Illinois. You’ll need to maintain current levels of physical activity, or even increase physical activity, to start burning through fat reserves.<br />
<b><br /></b>
- Fuel moderately. Eat more veggies and high quality FAT (e.g Coconut oil, grass fed butter)from morning to late evening.<br />
- In the evening you can have your normal meal but make sure you finish you dinner before 8 pm. The idea is that your food must be digested before you go to sleep.<br />

Okay, we have got a number of insights, lets round them up in to a system that you can use<br />
<br />

Sum Up</h2>
<div>
Here’s how to achieve your goals with minimal efforts:<br />
<br />
1. Learn how to do high intensity training. Do it for 20 minutes<br />
2. Do toning exercise for your targeted body part<br />
3. Buy kettle-bell, resistance band, dumbbell and foam roller for stretching (this will be best $60 spending of your life - trust me!)<br />
3. Eat mindfully. Minimal sugar and processed food. More veggies and high quality fats<br />
4. Use your motivation to repeat this for 21 days to convert the routine in to habit -- and then slowly make staying fit as your ritual </div>

<br />
Most of the time, bluescreens (if they are repeatable) are usually a driver and not something in the actual Windows. Some common suggestions to isolate the driver power state issue:<br />
<br />
1. Very first thing to do is to get the latest driver first and see if it is still happening.<br />
<br />
2. When the crashes are wake/sleep/resume/power related, often you should go to the device driver in the Device Manager and uncheck any ‘allow system to turn off the power of this device’ as a second step if the latest driver doesn't solve it. This prevents Windows from making calls into possibly faulty driver code. Power management issues are very common with drivers still.<br />
<br />
3. If you get dumps and the crashes are different places every time or random in timing – then you might have bad memory or a bad motherboard that’s corrupting things.<br />
<br />

0x0000009F is a fairly common bug check that occurs when a device driver does not complete processing on an I/O Request Packet (IRP) in ~10 minutes. This can occur for a variety of reasons, but the main reasons are due to kernel-mode drivers not properly handling changes in power states<br />
To transition between states, the system must return to state S0 (ex. Standby -> Hibernate is actually Standby - > Awake -> Hibernate). If devices and drivers do not correctly handle state transitions (or even queries about the current power state), it is possible for the system to crash with the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.<br />
<br />
<br />
For most of these errors, the cause is fairly straightforward and the important information can be determined from a minidump.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
increasing popularity of social media marketing has made sites like Pinterest
and Instagram keys to success for the digital marketing strategy. <o:p></o:p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">The main difference
between Pinterest and Instagram is how people typically use them. Instagram is
more of sharing your own personal photos while Pinterest leans more towards
uploading interesting photos that you’ve found on the net.</span></strong></div>

<b>Instagram</b> allows users to take pictures and videos from a mobile
device, apply digital filters and a caption, and then share the image on a
variety of social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Instagram provides updates to customers with up-to-date progress of a business
and maintains interest in their products.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Pinterest </b>links consumers to businesses and products that
match their personal interests and tastes. With Pinterest, a user’s intent is
primarily focused on the discovery and curation of other users’ content.
Similar to a search engine, users can use Pinterest to search for specific
content or products. They can then create visually appealing boards by pinning
and grouping the content they discover. Pinterest is also a proven sales
generator for retail businesses.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are few example I remember from our discussion:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: blue; font-size: small;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: blue; font-size: small;">Example of Blue Ocean Strategy:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>CIRQUE DU SOLEIL:</b> Cirque du Soleil successfully created a
new, highly-profitable market within the ailing circus industry. The company’s
management eliminated the main cost drivers of conventional circuses: the animals
and the stars. At the same time they incorporated elements from opera, ballet
and concerts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The result was a totally new entertainment concept targeting
former non-customers: adults happy to pay for good entertainment.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>NINTENDO Blue Ocean Strategy:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nintendo has been employing the Blue Ocean Strategy method
for many years with a great deal of success, for example with the systematic
development of innovations such as Nintendo DS or Nintendo Wii.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Nintendo Wii they departed from a Red Ocean dominated
by Sony’s Playstation and Microsoft’s Xbox by creating a totally new video game
concept. On one hand the Wii created new benefits, such as innovative,
intuitive control with movement sensors. On the other hand it generated massive
cost reductions eliminating high end graphics and CPU power. Thus Nintendo was
able to sell the Wii at a price that appealed to the mass public. This new
recipe for success made the Wii extremely popular and accessible for a new,
unconventional target group, ranging from women to senior citizens.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>THE BODY SHOP Blue Ocean Strategy: </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Body Shop also created a Blue Ocean – and in the
fiercely competitive cosmetics industry. The Body Shop ignored most glamorous
aspects of the industry. Instead The Body Shop designed its image around
functionality, reduced prices and modest packaging. Increased value was given
to natural ingredients, a healthy lifestyle and ethical concerns. As a result
The Body Shop’s products spoke to a totally new group of customers and achieved
a high degree of cost savings (generally approx. 85% of costs in the cosmetics
industry arise from packaging and advertising).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Apple- A fast follower and category killer</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I admire Apple for their strategy which seems to be not investing the incredible amount of R&D spending required to create and entirely new product, device or category. Instead, they take an under-performing or poorly designed product and apply their Apple design know how magic to and create a category killer. Examples of this would be:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- iPods replacing the Walkman<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- iPhones replacing a multitude of smart phones<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- iPads reinventing a slow selling category with a great product<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- iTunes replacing a fragmented and incomplete smattering of services<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- Apple Pay and Apple Watch: too soon to judge at this point</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Coke's secret Formula not patented - A master Class Strategy</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The hype and mystery created by Coca Cola Company around its
secret formula and the fact that they have not patented it is a master class of
a strategy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Firstly, the mystery created around the secret formula and
that it being kept safe in a vault in a museum creates a lot of hype and
generated attraction among consumers for Coca Cola. People would want to try a
product that claims to keep its trade secret to an extent where the company
claims that at any given point in time only two of its undisclosed executives
would know the recipe and that the company does not allow the two to travel
together. All this secrecy generates a lot of attention to the product which is
great for the product marketing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Secondly, the decision of not patenting it was a great
strategy in itself. By not patenting it, they have made sure that they would
not have to disclose the recipe to anyone ever which would not have been the
case had they patented the recipe. They would have had to disclose the recipe once
the duration of the patent expired.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Nike’s strategy to use hero athlete to promote the brand:</b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nike's excellence marketing strategies are their energy to achieve their market
goals. Nike believes the "pyramid influence" that the preferences of
a small percentage of top athletes influence the product and brand choice. So
Nike contracted with many athletes' spokesperson, professional teams and
college athletic teams to advertise and promote their products to customers.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Wallmart <u>cost leadership</u> strategy:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A business strategy that has proven to be very effective for Walmart can also work well for small businesses: the strategy of being a cost leader. Businesses that consciously choose to position their company as a provider of products or services at the low end of the pricing point compared to their competitors believe that they can make up in volume what they may forfeit in terms of a high price point.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Rolex Luxury Brand Strategy: </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some companies choose to position their products and services at the high end of the competitive pricing scale. Brands like Rolex is examples of this. Luxury brands appeal to a distinct group of consumers with ample disposable income and the desire to purchase exclusive products. Companies that choose this strategy are able to increase their ROI (return on investment) through product cost versus volume. Their customers may be fewer, but they will buy more expensively.</div>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Adobe: Boxed Software to Cloud Subscription</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adobe, mainly known for creative software, completely
stopped shipping boxed software after Creative Suite 6 release in 2012.
Customer can only get the software through cloud subscription. This was a big
strategy shift from selling software as product to selling software as
services. Customer now need to pay monthly subscription fee (~$10-$50) which is
much less than the boxed software price (~$300-$2500). Adobe was very transparent with Wall Street and Wall Street rewarded company
for during transition (stock price keeps going up even when revenue were declining).
Company has now very predictable revenue as customer are locked to the service
once they subscribe to it. This move also reduced piracy because company
regularly checks validity of the software installed on customer machine. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Netflix: Consistent Reinvention to Maintain Market Relevance</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Netflix emerged into the home entertainment space in the
late 1990s as an alternative to traditional movie-rental options such as
Blockbuster or local video stores. However, market trends began to evolve with
the emergence of smart TVs and tablet devices, forcing Netflix to restructure
their business model. They were able to reinvent themselves as an online
streaming platform for both immediate viewing and modernized device watching,
while still maintaining their fundamental business as a 3rd Party rental
entertainment distributor. This shift has prevented them from becoming obsolete
and allowed them to maintain market relevance and grow market share. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most recently Netflix has reinvented themselves again, this
time as a content provider, offering original programming exclusive to their
subscribers. This fluid structure and strategy of adapting with industry trends
has resulted in a strong revenue growth, a loyal consumer base and increasing
market share and reach. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Automattic – Distributed employment Strategy</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Automattic is almost 100% a virtual company - the (current)
306 employees work from all over the world - collaborating via Slack (online
chat platform), WordPress blog sites and email. Various teams have in
person "meet-ups" - usually a week long - once or twice a year.
Automattic is amazingly successful with this fairly unusual set-up,
particularly given the size, scope and complexity of managing WordPress.com -
which has more than 15 billion page views per month! The teams are
mostly self-managed - Automattic has relatively little hierarchy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Cisco's Software Defined Network (SDN) strategy</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the past few years Cisco has invested heavily into its
software business units. This investment is paying off as Cisco is capitalizing
on the growing trend of smart phone and tablet users who are connected through
the cloud. By exposing APIs through software running on top of its legacy
controllers, Cisco is building an open platform for third party developers.
Along with that Cisco is simplifying its software licensing model and working
with software development community to maintain the simplicity. With
acquisitions like Insieme Networks, the company that was originally formed by
Cisco, Cisco is in a good position to capture SDN market with its highly
scalable hardware centric SDN strategy.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Company Split Strategy (e.g. HP, Symentec/Ebay)</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have read the news of HP/Symantec, Ebay splitting in two
companies in last quarter. The main reasoning behind these decision seems
opposite of merger which assumes that the value of one+one if greater than two.
Companies usually go for a split decisions when they think that splitting the
business in two parts will generate greater shareholder value than in its
current status. This typically happen, when business unit within a company are highly
diversified and not able to generate the synergies and innovate. Splitting in
two can potentially remove some bureaucracy, makes teams more nimble and keep a
focus and R&D where it’s needed. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Google's Android strategy</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am amazed by the absolute brilliance of Google's Android
strategy. If google had not made Android an open platforms, it would not have
the success it is enjoying today in Mobile market space. As other
companies(Apple, Blackberry, Microsoft) were working on creating proprietary mobile
platforms, which might have locked out the future opportunities for Google to
distribute services and sell ads on devices like smartphones.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The beauty of the "open" Android approach, is that
Google has an army of partners racing as fast as they can to fill every
conceivable gap left by Apple, BlackBerry, and any other commercial phone
vendor. Android went from one of Google's many pilot projects in 2007 to become
the top smartphone platform in the world by 2010. Commercial platforms like
Windows Phone are struggling because Android turned the mobile device operating
system into a commodity. The exponential growth of mobile and tablet devices in
developing countries would not have been possible without this strategy. These
days you can easily buy a decent Android smartphone or tablet for ~$50. The
"open" Android strategy not just helped in stopping the iPhone from
taking over the world but it will help beat back any other threat to Google
core business as well.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Use of Analytic in Professional Sports:</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While baseball and basketball are on the forefront of the
analytics movement, other sports are beginning to employ the strategy too.
Football, with its evaluation of a running backs value, has been impacted by
analytics. Hockey and soccer teams also have analytics departments. Moving
forward, the use of analytics is going to drastically change the way sports are
evaluated and consumed. With the stakes so high to succeed, teams will continue
to analyze and come up with new statistics that provide more and more
information. As a strategic trend in its infancy, it’s almost scary to think of
the potential analytics have-to the point that they soon will have a better
understanding of a player and their decisions than the player themselves,
leading to the potential of predicting with high accuracy the outcome of
sporting contests before they begin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mandela and others --</b> fighting violence with non-violence<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I've been fascinated with how in the face of incredible violence leaders like Gandhi and King were able to convince their followers that the best way to fight violence is to go without any weapons, be willing to die and count on the court of public opinion and the conscience of the enemy to defeat them. It won't work against ISIS or Bin Laden .. but how were Gandhi, King and Mandela able to convince millions of followers that willing to be hurt or even die is the best winning strategy is fascinating.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
No matter what kind of document you're working on, it will
probably need some formatting. These shortcuts will help you zip through those
tasks so you can concentrate on the content.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Heading2Char"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Apply
style</span></span>:</b> I always starts with applying the default word style. This
is very powerful and make your life easier-- styles are almost always more
efficient than manual formatting<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.6pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Ctrl + Shift + N applies the Normal style.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span class="Heading2Char"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>Remove
manually applied formatting</b></span></span><br />
The fastest way to eliminate all the manual formatting from selected text and
get back to the underlying styles is to use these shortcuts:<br />
- Ctrl + Spacebar removes character formatting, leaving just the formatting of
the default character style.<br />
- Ctrl + Q removes paragraph formatting, leaving just the formatting of the
paragraph style applied to the selected paragraph(s).<br />
<br />
<span class="Heading2Char"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>Modify
line or paragraph spacing</b></span></span><br />
These are handy if you're trying to add white space and/or improve readability
in a document but you don't have a lot of time to spend tweaking the layout and
design:<br />
Ctrl + 0 (zero) applies or removes 12 points of space above the current
paragraph.<br />
Ctrl + 5 applies 1.5 line spacing to the current paragraph.<br />
Ctrl + 2 double-spaces the lines in the current paragraph.<br />
<span class="Heading2Char"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /><b>
Transfer formatting</b></span></span><br />
Ctrl + Shift + C copies the formatting of selected text.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ctrl + Shift + V applies the copied formatting to a new
selection.<br />
<br />
<span class="Heading2Char"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>The
Short-Cut Key for “Show All Formatting Marks</b></span></span><br />
CTRL-SHIFT-8<br />
You will probably see a lot of extra paragraph returns, the symbol for which is
[¶].<br />
Here is a list of the most common offenders that you can delete with a simple
search and replace.<br />
