The Four Burners Theory: The Downside of Work-Life Balance
This article was originally published on JamesClear.com.  FOOTNOTES I first heard about The Four Burners Theory from Chris Guillebeau, who heard about it from Jocelyn Glei, who read about it in this New Yorker article by David Sedaris, who was told about it by an Australian woman named Pat, who heard about it at a management seminar she attended. If you're keeping score at home and trying to figure out where The Four Burners Theory originated from, well, good luck. The above quote comes from the New Yorker article by Sedaris. I'm pretty sure I heard someone else use that fasten seatbelt phrase previously. If you know w...

Jobs and services at risk in Hull
Up to 300 jobs could be at risk in Hull, UNISON has warned, after the east Yorkshire council asked staff to register “expressions of interest” in applying for voluntary redundancy. A council email to staff this week cited “increasing financial pressures” for the move. The council lost 1,981 jobs between 2010 and 2015, reducing its workforce by 32%. And deputy council leader Daren Hale says that its funding from the government fell by £115m between 2010-11 and 2016-17 – a cut of almost 47%, which he described as “unprecedented and continuing”. UNISON branch secretary Adrian Kennett ...

A Call to Action for Pharma CMOs
By Jim Miller, President, PharmSource Forecasting is central to manufacturing operations and supply chain management. It drives scheduling, raw material ordering, inventory levels and many other decisions that ensure an uninterrupted market supply of finished product. However, forecasting really doesn’t work very well when planning the manufacturing requirements for new product launches. It has to be done so far ahead, and take into account so many variables, that it is often wrong – at great cost in lost revenues or misspent capital expenditures. Manufacturing and supply chain planning must begin four to f...

Planning to Succeed
Effective design, implementation and management of incentive programs can have profound consequences for any pharma sales organization, resulting in reduced operating expenses and increased net selling time that in turn boosts top-line revenue. An effective incentive compensation management (ICM) solution helps reduce the number of field disputes by providing clear and transparent progress reporting and, more importantly, creates an environment of trust that boosts salesperson morale and reduces the attrition rate among reps. That much is true of any good ICM solution, but what are the options for smaller and medium-sized ...
