The idea for the Post-Graduate Certificate in Career Management Strategy (CCMS) initially came from the Academy of Business Strategy’s human resource related commercial client programmes. These were performance-related programmes that implemented processes which enabled client organizations to be more proactive about the way in which they planned, developed, implemented and managed human resource strategy with a view towards improving the return on human resource capital employed. The way in which these human resource processes achieved their goals was to enable key employees to see their own personal career development objectives as being synonymous with their employer’s corporate objectives. The result was improved performance for the client organization and improved promotion prospects for the employee. But there was another benefit which we did not anticipate. The employees in question became more proactive about the way in which they managed their own careers within the organization that they worked for. Consequently the client benefited because they tended to retain key staff for longer periods of time, more senior appointment opportunities were presented to those employees who were involved and the employees themselves were able to exceed their own career expectations. The critical success factor here was the fact that we were effectively empowering employees to obtain more control over the development and management of their own careers and many of the employees involved felt that this should subsequently constitute a separate post-graduate programme in its own right because the consequential benefit was so life-changing. So it was that the Post-Graduate Certificate and the corresponding Diploma in Career Management Strategy were born. The Certificate focuses upon career planning and development, the corresponding Diploma focuses upon career implementation and management. Only students who have graduated with the Certificate are eligible to apply to enrol upon the Diploma. As we started to focus upon the new core objective of enabling employees to be more proactive about the way in which they planned, developed, implemented and managed their own careers, without really considering the potential benefits this would have within the organizations that these employees worked for, the power of this particular programme started to emerge. The perceived disadvantage with many client programmes is that it is the organization that purchases the programme and the consequential training and processes that are implemented can be perceived as being inflicted upon the unsuspecting employees who see themselves as having no say in the matter and an already busy workload. This all changes of course once they begin to realize the personal benefits of being involved. However, the benefit of targeting the (CCMS) and (DCMS) at individuals rather than the organizations they work for, is that the individual decides for themselves to enrol upon the programme for personal career development reasons and thus the ownership and commitment from individuals is increased substantially because all of the service benefits are personal to them, regardless of the organization they work for and whether they decide to change employers during the programme. After undertaking our own research it surprised s just how few people actually had a personal career strategy plan and of those that had one very few were proactive or consistent in the way they were implementing it. The potential competitive advantage that (CCMS) and (DCMS) graduates would clearly have over their peers and work colleagues would subsequently be huge. The (CCMS) programme was established by the Academy of Business Strategy 14 years ago and it has a long established history of success. The programme itself has an 86 per cent graduation success rate and this has been sustained since the programme was first established. Interestingly enough the more income students were earning before they enrolled upon the programme, the higher their increase in annual income was after graduation. The theory behind this is the fact that those on lower salaries tend to need to allow more time to implement their new career development plans which is a reasonable assumption.
Special technical expertise is required for sports facilities construction and installation of equipment related to different sports. Different sports facilities require sports pitches to be prepared to different specifications depending upon their use. For instance, sports facilities to be used as Multi-use Games Areas will have to take into consideration the requirements of all the sports to be played on the pitch as compared to single-purpose sports facilities or indoor sports halls.
In case of outdoor sports facilities, the process of construction begins with a site inspection followed by excavation of the ground. The base layers are installed in a way as to offer a stable foundation and to serve as an effective shock pad. Good drainage is one of the most important requirements of these sports pitches.
In 1960, E. Jerome McCarthy introduced the 4 P’s of Marketing as a way to describe the mix of factors required to successfully market a product. McCarthy labeled the 4 P’s as Product, Price, Place (distribution), and Promotion. The idea was that if you could identify the right combination of these elements, your marketing would succeed. Since then, many have proposed that there are really 5 P’s, suggesting Positioning, Packaging, or People as additions to the mix.
Maybe it should be replaced by the 4 B’s of Marketing?

The objective of each advertising campaign differs from another. Keeping this point in mind, advertisers adopt various mediums of advertising which best suit the requirements of their brand promotion campaign. Outdoor advertising is one of the oldest mediums of brand promotion. Advertising brands through outdoor media vehicles such as billboards, hoardings, kiosks, posters etc have been in vogue ever since the advent of advertising in India. Five important features/ advantages of outdoor advertising are explained below-
-Cost efficiency: Out of home advertising methods are cost effective ways to promote a brand or service because OOH advertising is mostly one time investment. One outdoor ad can be kept for weeks, months or even years (provided the ad is not deteriorated by weather or alike factors). Hence, in out of home advertising one doesn’t need to invest again and again. Just invest once and wait and watch to observe the impact.
-Better reach: Outdoor ads provide better reach to customers as compared to other advertising practices. This is because outdoor ads cannot be switched off like television or print ads. One can avoid a television ad by changing the channel but one cannot avoid an outdoor ad by staying inside home and not going out. The bottom line is that everyone moves out of home and while moving out of home, one happens to watch all those outdoor ads about various brands. The compelling viewership provided to audiences is one of the major advantages or features of an OOH advertising campaign.
-Potential to reach intended customers: Outdoor brand promotion practices such as airport advertising, mall advertising etc have potentials to reach the targeted customers. Airport advertising is one of the most common practices of outdoor brand promotion. Any advertising campaign whether home based or outdoor is successful if it reaches out to the target audience. In such case, outdoor ads have the ability to reach and influence a defined target group with an affluent brand experience.
-Scope for creativity and longevity: Outdoor advertising provides more scope for creativity and longevity while promoting a brand, service, idea or business activity. This scope for creativity and longevity makes outdoor advertising an effective and reliable tool for brand promotion.
-Constant or non-stop exposure to public: Outdoor ads whether airport advertising or mall advertising provide constant exposure about the brand to the general public. This is another striking feature/ benefit of outdoor advertising. Maximum exposure in the market place means attracting a larger number of target audiences. Advertising is a customer-centric affair and attracting old/new pool of customers is equally important for an advertiser to promote his brand or service.
Outdoor advertising India is becoming trendy day by day. Especially with the advent of digital technology, outdoor advertising has undergone a radical change as compared to the conventional modes and techniques of brand promotion. The trends of outdoor advertising India are yet to revamp and renovate further with a touch of technological sophistication.

It’s no secret that that whole cycle varies between each company and industry. But whether your cycle is 30 days or 120 days the effects of that timing require certain activities to be financed.
