How do you determine the most important requirements for your project?
It's key to put it all in the "big picture" perspective. All to often we tackle a problem in a silo as a departmental concern - like a marketing or customer service issue. When the true root causes is something completely overlooked and continues to fester regardless of all the bandaids used. Before jumping in with a fix, it's critical to see the whole of the business, not to defend or tweak - just to gather information.

How do you improve your risk management plan?
Step One. Do a complete analysis of your own business. What are your blind spots? Managing risk is a different conversation for each business owner. Clarity on what you are doing well and what needs attention is critical in the planning process. If you are not looking the big picture you may end up wasting a lot of time building a plan for a symptom of something else or not seeing the risk or opportunity at all.

What are the benefits and challenges of remote business coaching for employee motivation and retention?
