The Cost of Not Doing a Project
It’s easy to think that cancelling a project will save the money that would have been spent on it. But what about the hidden costs that will be incurred because of the project’s cancellation? It’s easy to spend more money not doing the project than the project would have cost to do. Illogical? Sure–but many companies do exactly that. Why do they do that, how do you avoid it?

Come Hell or High Water
Communities in British Columbia have recently been surveyed on the status of their wildfire and flood plans. The results showed that the majority of at-risk communities were lacking detailed plans, or were lacking the funds necessary to appropriately enact them.

Telephony—The Magic Wand
A receptionist is an entry level job, yet they have so much power over their organization’s reputation. Of the ones that do their jobs well, do they radiate warmth, or are they robotically efficient? In my years as a telephony and IT consultant, I’ve had many opportunities to observe switchboard and call centre employees. I’d like to share some stories of the superstars that I’ve met.

Hot Data
Summertime conjures up images of days at the beach, holidays at the cabin, and barbecues on the patio. It may also bring to mind sunburns, highway traffic, and uncomfortably hot weather. However, summer temperatures can also damage your computer hardware and cause data loss. At risk are motherboards, CPUs and other components not designed to withstand extreme heat.
