Success - Jay Steve

SUCCESS

Self Discipline is a bridge that connects you with your goals,

Success is Who you are,

Not what you do,

Some people have #temporary success and some have #enduring success,

Money is the reward of success,

Stop focusing on chasing money because it will keep running from you,

Your focus should be on satisfying your customers with nominal profit for little becomes much with time,

What brings success is being deligent, discipline and focusing on satisfying people and not chasing after money,

Success begins with your mindset,

Success is not a word but a way of life.

 

The level of your capacity is the level of your success,

So you need to expand your mind to handle great success.

True Love Story - Jay Steve

Story Story?

Once upon a time I was living on my own,

Having peace of my own and enjoying my single Joy,

Then all of a sudden I fall in love with this guy that is so handsome,

We walk together, play together and eat together,

The love was so sweet and beautiful,

We always want to hear the voice of each other,

And when ever we see each other we just can't stop smiling,

Things are going well,

One day we had a little misunderstanding and he just went off,

I tried to get him back but he refused and just left into the world of another lady,

I was heartbroken and devastated,

I stayed inside my room and cried,

I find it very difficult to move on for over two years because he was my first guy and I gave him my heart and my love,

But right now I am stronger,better and wiser.

Yes I am in love again, because love is a beautiful thing,

But am not stupid this time around,

I will love him,but unless we are married I will not give him my whole heart,

Is not as if I will not be faithful to him but there are some boundaries that I will not allow him to cross.

Love is actually good but when you find true love,

Heartbreak has never killed anyone but makes us stronger,

All we need to know is there is a reason behind everything that happens,

Nothing just happens,

Suicide is not the way of solving your problem,

Just take hard and with time you will understand that time will give you the  best love you dreamt of.

Let your love have sense,simply because you are in love does not mean that you should be foolish,

Our Creator loves us but in as much as He loves us, there are certain standard that if we break he punnish us for breaking it.

Enjoy your day friends.

Creativity Spokenword - Jay Steve

Creativity 

Is so pathetic that people are celebrating the down fall of people over there success this days,

You are living with your neighbor and your neighbor don't want to see you wearing good clothes or eating good food,

Anytime you wear good clothes and eat some good food your neighbor will give you that pretending smiles that has the indepth of jealousy and hatred within,

People in the Low level are fighting themselves and doing evil to their fellow low level people,

And they want growth and progress,

People in the middle level are giving bribes to the low class to help them suppress other low lives,

In other to maintain their medium class position,

People in the Highest class are trying to control the middle and the low class by killing anyone that is against them,just to main wealth and power,

Each level of life has it own problem,

We are praying for a better Country and a better Nigeria when Corruption has eaten us up from  bottom to top,

One of the things killings us as a country today is we hate creative people from bottom to top,

If a friend notice that  his/her friend or brother or sister is creative,

They will look for a way to frustrate the person or kill the creativity,

And if meddle level  notice that the creativity of their friend will take him or her from that level to the high class level they look for a way to eliminate such person,

In the high class if they notice that one of them is trying to bring innovation to his people they will silently eliminate the person and nothing will be done about it because they believe they are the Law,

Is so pathetic that being Creative has become a problem in a country call Nigeria,

So people hide and die with their creativity,

No wonder if a Nigerian secured a job in another country where the person creativity is well acknowledge,

They become the best and give their best,

No wonder Nigeria is still a consuming nation because people of creativity have become a prey in our society today.

But does it mean that we should keep hiding with our creativity and allow the nation to suffer because of fear?

We need to come forth and stand for what is right,

In our families we need to encourage those that are creative among us,

In our local communities and religious levels we need to encourage those that are creative among us,

Our society need to give  room for creativity.

Creativity is what makes a nation great.

Show me a nation with creativity and I will show you a nation that is prospering 

A nation that don't appreciate creativity  will always be a dependent and  a consuming nation.

Give love for creativity a space,

In our family, community,state,nation and in the world.

And the continents will experience overflow of greatness.

Importance of Strategic and Breakdown of Effective Communication

I am here to Stand against the motion; Breakdown of effective communication in an organization.

Below are my following points:

What is a communication breakdown? 

If communication is the exchange of information between two or more individuals, a communication breakdown means not being able to get your message across properly. 

When communication breakdown occurs, it usually results in a lack of communication.

1. The effects of communication breakdowns on mental health 

Communication breakdowns cause stress and low morale in your employees. 

Namely, according to the 2021 report The Evolution of Communication, 7 in 10 Americans agree that mental health is tied to communication. 

Therefore, when communication fails, employees’ mental health deteriorates, making them more stressed and anxious.   

2.The effects of communication breakdowns on work culture

Communication breakdowns affect your work culture, too. 

They may demotivate your employees and create tension amongst the team. 

Furthermore, that kind of work culture may cost you your clients or business opportunities.

3.Unpredictable Work Environment

Poor communication causes a lack of predictability and stability within the workplace, leading to an uneasy environment for employees to work in. Employees might not clearly understand their objectives for the week or might misunderstand the process for a project, leading to unproductivity and ineffectiveness at their job. Employees and employers have a responsibility to facilitate an active dialogue in order to create a stable work environment to get their best work done.

4.Less Effective Collaboration

Collaboration and communication go hand in hand. If employees are unable to communicate effectively, it is very likely for collaboration to be effective as well. Collaboration in the workplace is important in many ways from promoting self-analysis and resulting in efficient problem solving. The effects of poor communication in the workplace set every collaborative project for failure, and almost everything in the 21st century workplace is a collaboration. 

5. Workplace Conflict:

The effects of poor communication may cause tensions to rise, resulting in a potential conflict between employees. Failure to communicate may cause employees to make the wrong assumptions, such as leaving other employees to pick up their work, when this task was not previously discussed between a team. Good communication prevents workplace from arising in the first place.

6: Low Morale

With poor communication, employees may have a harder time meeting expectations and catching up with their deadlines, resulting in them getting behind. This could leave them with a sense of guilt, embarrassment or even low self-esteem. Low workplace morale should be addressed immediately, so that employees can maintain a healthy work-life balance and continue working efficiently.

I am here to to stand with the motion that says:

Strategy for effective communication.

Strategy Communication is a combination of both theory and practice that seeks to understand the effect of culture on all aspects of marketing communications. Globalization, global branding strategies, and classification models of culture are all issues covered within this study. Strategic Communications studies the dynamics of consumer behavior, trends in marketing strategies, and shifts in global culture.

Points:

1. Enables you to lead your business:

As a CMO you need a comms strategy because it will make your job easier and more rewarding, it will also help you to lead the business and perform your duties at a higher level altogether.

The nature of being responsible for a company’s marketing means you must respond to multiple demands from the business. This can lead to a kind of tactical myopia. Your colleagues in sales will demand qualified leads – and rightly so – but if you haven’t got a mutually agreed understanding of your target sector priorities and a tight definition of your target personas, then the likelihood for disagreement or disappointment is almost inevitable.

2.    Provides focus and efficiency:

Low hanging fruitA well-formed comms strategy keeps you both focussed and aligned. It ensures you are more efficient, by focussing your time and money on the strategic priorities. The natural optimism, energy and opportunism characteristic of salespeople means that they can be distracted by whoever or whatever appears to be a quick win. That’s not to say low-hanging fruit shouldn’t be picked if it falls outside the specified target – but it must be recognised for what it is and should not distract everyone from the wider strategic intent.

A comms strategy provides a yardstick by which every effort and initiative can be assessed for efficacy. Everyone needs to understand when the pursuit of low hanging fruit has turned into an unhelpful distraction and drain on resources. If you own a comms plan, this will be as clear as the nose on your face.

3.    Results in more effective messaging:

Your audience is ...article quoteYour target audience will rarely comprise a disciplined cohort equipped with all the information they need to select your products and services. Your audience is most likely made up of broad groups of people, with similar sets of responsibilities, who are at different stages of the buying cycle. They are probably ill-informed, confused and/or insecure in their knowledge or options. Creating typical, representative personas helps to focus attention and effort. Furthermore, understanding that your target persona will be at different stages of the buying cycle enables you to develop messaging which talks to their individual information needs, while addressing their fears, motivations and irritations. This approach, which respects your target audiences’ differences, will be more persuasive because you are telling them things that matter to them in a way that helps them to move along their buying journey.

4.    It forearms you:

Your comms strategy captures your sales needs, sector priorities, personas, positioning and messaging. It provides you, and your extended team and colleagues, with many of the essential tools you need to enable you to deliver your business objectives. I’m a great believer in active decision-making. The process of formulating your comms strategy will enable you to identify knowledge gaps. Then, you can decide whether you need to secure the missing information or not.  It’s important to recognise and understand the implications of your action or inaction so that outcomes don’t come as a surprise – forewarned is forearmed.

 

5.    Brings clarity of purpose:

a communications strategy quoteWhatever your objectives and whatever your requirements, a communication strategy just makes the process of getting there more efficient, more effective and the journey so much more rewarding. Having clarity of purpose also allows you to lead the business, fend off unnecessary or irrelevant requests and direct your resources with intent.

6. Employees are more productive when they have all the necessary information in a clear, concise format.

7. All employees receive the information they need to do their jobs correctly and to meet deadlines.

8. Collaboration improves because employees bounce ideas off one another and build off each other’s thoughts and experiences. 

9. Employees can better handle conflict when they know how to communicate their ideas and listen to their peers to create a solution.

10  Effectively sharing ideas can enhance creativity and innovation, which can help grow your business.

11. The company culture improves because people feel heard and know what’s happening.

Relationships between employees and with clients are strengthened.

Introduction;

A decision support system gathers and analyzes data, synthesizing it to produce comprehensive information reports. In this way, as an informational application, a DSS differs from an ordinary operations application, whose function is just to collect data.The DSS can either be completely computerized or powered by humans. In some cases, it may combine both. The ideal systems analyze information and actually make decisions for the user. At the very least, they allow human users to make more informed decisions at a quicker pace

What is a decision support system (DSS)?

• A decision support system (DSS) is a computer program application used to improve a company's decision-making capabilities. It analyzes large amounts of data and presents an organization with the best possible options available.

• Decision Support Systems (DSS) are a class of computerized information system that support decision-making activities. DSS are interactive computer-based systems and subsystems intended to help decision makers use communications technologies, data, documents, knowledge and/or models to complete decision process tasks.

• A decision support system (DSS) is a computerized program used to support determinations, judgments, and courses of action in an organization or a business. A DSS sifts through and analyzes massive amounts of data, compiling comprehensive information that can be used to solve problems and in decision-making.

Decision support systems bring together data and knowledge from different areas and sources to provide users with information beyond the usual reports and summaries. This is intended to help people make informed decisions.

Typical information a decision support application might gather and present include the following:

comparative sales figures between one week and the next;

projected revenue figures based on new product sales assumptions; and

the consequences of different decisions.

A decision support system is an informational application as opposed to an operational application. Informational applications provide users with relevant information based on a variety of data sources to support better-informed decision-making. Operational applications, by contrast, record the details of business transactions, including the data required for the decision-support needs of a business.

Decision Support System Components

A typical DSS consists of three different parts: 

- knowledge database

-software 

- user interface.

Knowledge base. 

A knowledge base is an integral part of a decision support system database, containing information from both internal and external sources. It is a library of information related to particular subjects and is the part of a DSS that stores information used by the system's reasoning engine to determine a course of action.

Software System

. The software system is composed of model management systems. A model is a simulation of a real-world system with the goal of understanding how the system works and how it can be improved. Organizations use models to predict how outcomes will change with different adjustments to the system.

For example, models can be helpful for understanding systems that are too complicated, too expensive or too dangerous to fully explore in real life. That's the idea behind computer simulations used for scientific research, engineering tests, weather forecasting and many other applications.

Models can also be used to represent and explore systems that don't yet exist, like a proposed new technology, a planned factory or a business's supply chain. Businesses also use models to predict the outcomes of different changes to a system -- such as policies, risks and regulations -- to help make business decisions.

User Interface

The user interface enables easy system navigation. The primary goal of the decision support system's user interface is to make it easy for the user to manipulate the data that is stored on it. Businesses can use the interface to evaluate the effectiveness of DSS transactions for the end users. DSS interfaces include simple windows, complex menu-driven interfaces and command-line interfaces.

Decisions

Based on user requirements, results are generated by the Decision Support System.

Types of Decision Support Systems

Decision support systems can be broken down into categories, each based on their primary sources of information.

Data-driven DSS

A data-driven DSS is a computer program that makes decisions based on data from internal databases or external databases. Typically, a data-driven DSS uses data mining techniques to discern trends and patterns, enabling it to predict future events. Businesses often use data-driven DSSes to help make decisions about inventory, sales and other business processes. Some are used to help make decisions in the public sector, such as predicting the likelihood of future criminal behavior.

Model-driven DSS

Built on an underlying decision model, model-driven decision support systems are customized according to a predefined set of user requirements to help analyze different scenarios that meet these requirements. For example, a model-driven DSS may assist with scheduling or developing financial statements.

Communication-driven and group DSS

A communication-driven and group decision support system uses a variety of communication tools -- such as email, instant messaging or voice chat -- to allow more than one person to work on the same task. The goal behind this type of DSS is to increase collaboration between the users and the system and to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the system.

Knowledge-driven DSS

In this type of decision support system, the data that drives the system resides in a knowledge base that is continuously updated and maintained by a knowledge management system. A knowledge-driven DSS provides information to users that is consistent with a company's business processes and knowledge.

Document-driven DSS

A document-driven DSS is a type of information management system that uses documents to retrieve data. Document-driven DSSes enable users to search webpages or databases, or find specific search terms. Examples of documents accessed by a document-driven DSS include policies and procedures, meeting minutes and corporate records.

Decision Support System Examples

Organizations use decision support systems in several different contexts, including the following:

GPS routing.

 GPS route planning is an example of a typical DSS. It compares different routes, taking into account factors such as distance, driving time and cost. The GPS navigating system also enables users to choose alternative routes, displaying them on a map and providing step-by-step instructions.

ERP dashboards.

 ERP (enterprise resource planning) dashboards can use a decision support system to visualize changes in production and business processes, monitor current business performance against set goals and identify areas for improvement. ERP dashboards let business owners see a snapshot of their company's most important numbers and metrics.

Clinical decision support system. 

A clinical decision support system (CDSS) is a software program that uses advanced decision-making algorithms to help physicians make the best medical decisions. Healthcare professionals often use these to interpret patient records and test results, and to calculate the best treatment plan. CDSS in healthcare can help providers identify abnormalities during specific tests, as well as monitor patients after certain procedures to determine if they are having any adverse reactions.

Characteristics of a DSS

The primary purpose of using a DSS is to present information to the customer in an easy-to-understand way. A DSS system is beneficial because it can be programmed to generate many types of reports, all based on user specifications. For example, the DSS can generate information and output its information graphically, as in a bar chart that represents projected revenue or as a written report.

As technology continues to advance, data analysis is no longer limited to large, bulky mainframe computers. Since a DSS is essentially an application, it can be loaded on most computer systems, whether on desktops or laptops. Certain DSS applications are also available through mobile devices.

The flexibility of the DSS is extremely beneficial for users who travel frequently. This gives them the opportunity to be well-informed at all times, providing them the ability to make the best decisions for their company and customers on the go or even on the spot.

Benefits of a Decision Support System?

Broadly speaking, decision support systems help in making more informed decisions. Often used by upper and mid-level management, decision support systems are used to make actionable decisions, or produce multiple possible outcomes based on current and historical company data. At the same time, decision support systems can be used to produce reports for customers that are easily digestible and can be adjusted based on user specifications. 

Advantages of a Decision Support System

- It Saves Time by speeding up the process of decision making.

- It Improves communication between people through meetings, brainstorming sessions, etc.

- Reports generated by the Decision Support System can be used as evidence.

- It helps to automate processes.

- Reduction of cost

Disadvantages of a Decision Support System

- Overload Information

- Reduction of status

- Unanticipated effects

- Cost in Monetary

- Too much DSS dependency
