The 10 Questions You Should Never Stop Asking
By Marc Kramer
Companies run aground for the same basket of reasons, so don't forget the fundamentals.
In
the early 1990s, I was brought in as an interim president/CEO of two
regional monthly magazines. Both are now out of business. It was a
trying time--and also one of the great learning experiences of my life.
One
magazine focused on business, and the other on the arts. What the two
had in common were the investors, who forced them into a shotgun
wedding and put them under one roof. These geniuses (including your
intrepid columnist) thought they could squeeze pennies and boost
margins by merging the back offices and the sales teams. The editorial
staffs couldn't be combined because they required different expertise.
The
only magazine experience the holding company's board members had was
reading the publications. I knew the newspaper business, but as any
media veteran knows, newspapers and magazines (especially monthly
magazines) are entirely different beasts--and not just in terms of the
physical products. (Just one example: Magazine ad revenue is booked
earlier but collected much later; meanwhile, overhead gobbles cash.)
Smart,
experienced, highly connected people were involved in this deal. It
didn't matter. Why? No one bothered to examine the fundamental
realities of the business; no one asked the right questions. Instead,
everyone was consumed with generating revenue. Read more...

GREEN BUILDINGS RISING
New AIA study reports "green" buildings are on the rise
San
Francisco, Downtown:
That's where the fight to turn back global climate change is. The bad
guys are the Jets and the Sharks and Officer Krupke (that's a Westside
Story reference) and the Crips and the Bloods (back to reality)and the
cops and the robbers and the Mayor and the City Council and you and me
and the guy on the corner.
And
guess what: The people of the U.S., led by smart local politicians, are
getting busy doing what has to be done because it's just as good for
their pocketbooks as it is for their climate.
The
widespread and rising development of green buildings in greening cities
is documented in Local Leaders in Sustainability - Green Building Policy in a Changing Economic Environment, the latest report from the American Institute of Architects (AIA),
For
all the effort and clamor about stopping deforestation - and it's
certainly important to stop it - deforestation accounts for only 17% of
the world's GhGs. 40% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions (GhGs) come from
buildings.
The
short answer to global climate change is not something exotic and out
of reach. It's insulation, weather stripping, efficient windows and
doors, energy-saving appliances and equipment, habits that conserve
heating and cooling energy and electricity, adding solar panels and
small wind and using temperature-moderating geothermal and mass transit
and other obvious innovations.
While the economic downturn has
slowed the growth of the New Energies and the construction industries
because of slowed access to big capital, leaders in the cities of the
nation have turned to Energy Efficiency and distributed small-scale New
Energy like never before because it is so good for the bottom line. The
costs of a green building are greater than those of traditional
construction but a green building easily recoups the costs in its
lifecycle and building green generates, jobs, tax revenues and supply
chain business opportunities. Read more...
