How work looks in 2011 and beyond

March 9, 2011 By Jim Raffel 4 Comments

Starting now and into the foreseeable future, how work looks has changed for all of us. If you don't believe me, ask the public sector union employees in Wisconsin and other states.

The 2011 Plan

January 3, 2011 By Jim Raffel 23 Comments

For me, 2010 marked a year of radical changes in the way I do business. It was in many ways a year of rebirth, learning and growing. While the learning and growing will continue in 2011, it will also be a year of solidifying positions established in 2010. In 2010, I developed an over-arching … [Read more...]
