My name is Jaime Chang.  I am enrolled at Hubbard College of Administration International studying to earn my Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration.  I just completed the “How To Write Effective Company Policy” course.

I now know how important policy is in an organization.  If you want to expand and prosper your business, it’s very important to have policy and get it followed by your employees.  This has been a great technology for me to learn and I know Iíll be able to apply it!

In our current society, our abilities and skills are worth more than ever. Companies desperately look for people to hire who will actually DO what is needed and not just maintain the status quo, which holds up the expansion of the organization. One very important aspect of a person is his efficiency. Itís very simple really; if one worker can complete something in half the amount of time of another, then whom are you going to hire? The efficient one of course.

Now, what if a person isn’t able to comply with orders as quickly as another? Is he doomed to eternal failure? Well, the How To Increase Efficiency In Your Company course enlightens you about a disease called ìDeveloped-Trafficî (Unnecessary and unusual work), which obliterates two-thirds of a companyís efficiency. It gives a very detailed look into all of the different manifestations that Developed-Traffic can take and how to handle them. Upon recognizing the forms of Developed-Traffic, a person can see how to handle and put an end to it. An example of Developed-Traffic is failure to get an order clarified. When a person doesnít understand what needs to be done, he can’t be expected to get it done fast. If the person clarified the order, then it would have gotten done then and there. Knowing of the 51 types of Developed-Traffic, including this one, a fellow’s efficiency will dramatically increase and he’ll soon find himself with plenty of extra time to get even more done.

As a result of doing this course, I have been able to get all of my work done in the office at twice the speed. My statistics in the office have been significantly increasing each week and I find myself with my daily targets and tasks completed well before the day is over. Then I just go find even more work to do in another area of the company that I can handle. By just following and understanding everything gone over in the pages of this course, my worth to the company has gotten nothing but more valuable.

I recommend you do this course, so that your company can grow larger and recognize you for it.

On the “How to Make Planning Become an Actuality” apprenticeship, I worked with the general manager of a nutrition company to resolve an issue that he had been trying to handle for several months. He wanted to put on a nutrition fair in Toluca Lake, California, but he first needed to acquire a desired location, which he had trouble getting from the start. This gave me the opportunity to utilize what I had learned in “How to Make Planning Become an Actuality,” “Ethics for Business Survival,” “How to Get Things Done,” “Improving Business through Communication” and “How to Get Along with Others” courses in a real-world business situation where things donít always go as intended.

The truth of the matter is that even though I got to drill writing a program while on the course, I never got the chance to write one for another person on a larger scale. That’s where the apprenticeship, as usual, came in to give me the confidence I needed to know I could write a program for any situation in life. So, after getting all the information from the general manager as to what he wanted as far as location, I got to work. I wrote up a general outline of what things needed to be done and classified them according to the six categories (target types) I had learned about.

During the composition phase of programming, something really hit home to me.  Even if only one of these target types is missing from a program, it will utterly fail. So, once everything was written, I gave the program to someone to actually execute. Even though this person had never worked on something like this, all he had to do was follow the program and everything went perfectly. For example, one of the contacts that we originally thought would have certain information didn’t after all and referred us to another contact. Luckily, I had a conditional target that took into account whether or not that action succeeded.

In the end, I had acquired the information requested by the general manager by someone following a simple program that I had written. I relayed the information to the general manager and he was able to set up meetings with the owner for the signing of agreements to acquire his desired venue.  Many people have plans. These are the short-range broad intentions to expand or progress. Maybe a person wants to be an actor, a doctor or a lawyer. Or, they may aspire just to be a millionaire. All of these objectives are possible for a person to achieve no matter what anyone else says. If a person knows the technology of complete planning and applies it realistically, then ANYTHING can be achieved.

I am currently on the “How to Increase Efficiency in Your Company” course.

By Jack Cheng, a Taiwanese student from Kaohsiung on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

Efficiency is a major thing in a company; everyone wants to increase it.  It is the thing that every executive, business owner and staff member wants. Why, because efficiency is the way to success. If a person can do things with efficiency, he can do things quicker and better.

In this course, I realized that unnecessary work (or what is referred to as developed traffic or Dev-T) can happen in many different ways.  Also, once you have one of these forms of inefficiency, you will create others.  For example, when information is routed incorrectly, one spends productivity time on it.  Then his production duties become backlogged.  If the backlogs pile up, one can become reasonable on those backlogs, and then more and more Dev-T is produced.

On this course, I learned how to recognize the different types of Dev-T and the way to handle them.

There has been much hullabaloo in the news and blogs about how much of the bail out money went to the bank executives.

“The 116 banks that so far have received taxpayer dollars to boost them through the economic crisis gave their top tier of executives nearly $1.6 billion in salaries, bonuses and other benefits in 2007,” says an AP study

The AP review of annual reports that the banks file with the Securities and Exchange Commission found that the average paid to each of the banks’ top executives was $2.6 million in salary, bonuses and benefits.

And they’re the folk that go the institutions into this mess with their lack of administrative and management skill.
It’s no wonder the SBA Office of Advocacy states that the number one reason a business fails is the lack of administrative and management expertise.

What we need right now is managers and business owners who have some sane and workable Administrative Technology under their belts.
