There are many different types of contractors. Each type has specific guidelines that they must follow.In the construction industry, the guidelines can be very strict. In today busy world, those who are in the market for a contractor do not want to take any chances of hiring someone that is not properly trained. They prefer to hire someone who has a degree in one of five different fields. These fields are building construction, construction science, construction management, architecture or engineering.Many construction
You know the kind of thing I mean: long e-mail threads with contributions from everyone in the department, each copying everyone else and many leading off into side threads and involving even more people. You have to read the whole thing just to know what's going on, and to see whether there's something you need to do.
This is a common problem, and one that comes up often in my consulting and training engagements. So I'm recommending a new way of keeping everyone in the loop --- without deluging them with e-mail.
The answer is a departmental blog. Now don't stop reading --- I know it may seem a bit radical, but bear with me and you'll see how this can be hugely effective in the situation I just described.
Most teams or departments routinely deal with a number of projects or processes.
A Sales team, for example, might have
three new major accounts they are pursuing
information for the monthly sales report
a new sales training program.
A Human Resources group might have
three new training programs under construction
several job postings
some competitive proposals to handle the pension plan.
Customer Relationship people might have
several promotional programs
a new software rollout.

Your business is up and running and all the pieces appear to be falling into their place. Youve got clients, a schedule that works and an organized system in place as well. Yet there is a small voice inside of you that keeps questioning if this will work. Do you really know this business will work? Can you really be sure that it wont come to a crashing halt, leaving you with an empty organizer, a lack of clients and no money in the bank?Well, it may seem that there is no way to predict how successful you will be or not.

It's a brave new world. Effective management now means more than how you handle your staff. Management also includes how you manage your social reproducibility to others in your community. "There is no way to avoid paying serious attention to corporate citizenship: the costs of failing are simply too high. There are countless win-win opportunities waiting to be discovered: every activity in a firm's value chain overlaps in some way with social factors - everything from how you buy or procure to how you do your research - yet very few

The cost of starting up an enterprise is high; most advisers recommend that you have at least $50,000 capital on hand "just in case" when you begin your own venture. This is meant to be for unknown problems and glitches, not the actual equipment and running costs. You really need that buffer to create a comfort zone to allow your venture to operate until it takes off on its own. But cheer up. If starting an enterprise is costly, you can usually get all the advice you will ever need or want for free.But when this nest egg b

Everyone in the group needs to be kept up to date on at least some projects. Instead of a chaotic storm of e-mail, the team blog becomes the central repository for all the information on the various topics. Information can be searched and viewed by topic or by date. Let's see how that would work.
The free WordPress blog platform offers something called "categories", which are typically shown as links down the right side of the blog page, while the messages, or "posts", take up most of the space to the left.
Using one of the examples above, my categories might be:
Presentation Skills Course
Sales Training Program
New Employee Orientation Program
Job Posting: Senior Mailroom Clerk
Job Posting: Assistant to Marketing Manager
Pension plan proposals.
Each of these would be a category, shown as a link down the side.
If you reviewed the draft manual for the Presentation Skills course and have some comments on it, you'd want to report your findings to the rest of the group. Using the traditional e-mail method, that might elicit replies from three colleagues, with the potential to multiply into the usual "e-maelstrom".
Using the blog, though, the process becomes not only simpler but more effective. You simply post a short report on what you did and any recommendation you might have, and put it in the Presentation Skills Course category. People can comment on your post, or add their own posts as appropriate. These are also added to the Presentation Skills category.
The result is the whole story to date on this topic, with everyone's posts listed neatly in order and with nothing intervening. Everyone can see at a glance the status of the project
