Implementing an Effective Succession Planning Program

If there is one factor that differentiates successful companies from the rest, it is their succession planning. Succession planning is one of the absolutely critical components of a business plan. It is the means of grooming leaders for the organization and placing the organization in their hands in a steady and phased manner. In a sense, this succession process starts from the time an employee is inducted into the organization, because great organizations spot a potential leader from the time they start working with them. The only certain prescription for saving an organization from getting into the grip of inappropriate hands is to instill a very efficient succession model. Succession planning can be understood as these: A systematically designed and implemented process of anticipating the need for talent and ensuring that the necessary employee competencies and experience are available when needed in the future A strategic approach of developing and enhancing the organization’s

Dealing with OCD in the Office

A colleague who simply torments his coworkers with extreme attention to detail is a common sight in most workplaces. Well, no one who has a professional bent of mind wants to get away by doing a shoddy job. But there are some colleagues whose fetish with perfection goes to a point where they are a pain in the neck to people around them. This condition is called, well, you have guessed it: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or the notoriously popular short form of it- OCD. Attention to detail is fine.

Secrets to getting Good Clinical Practices to complete tasks quickly and efficiently

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is the driving force behind clinical research. It is the name given to a set of broad regulatory requirements, standards, and recommendations that apply to thousands of highly specific tasks, processes, and roles in the conduct of clinical research. The core aspect to bear in mind about GCP is that it is a set of practical standards that act as guidelines, and what are called best practices, to aid in the smooth conduct of clinical trials. They have branched out of the existing regulations, guidance, and industry standards and practices and are open to interpretation and individual understanding. Applying any particular GCP is left to the discretion of the professional undertaking it. There are hardly any regulations that are set in stone, for the simple reason that their application varies according to the situation. This presents the toughest challenge in implementing the GCP standards. There exists a disparity between the specific, detailed nature of
