The Secret to Increasing your Market Value and Succeeding in your Career

Increasing your own market value is very important in changing jobs. If you think about making a job change if you make an effort to increase your own market value on a regular basis, you may be able to work in a better position than your current position.

To be successful in your area of ​​expertise, it is important to plan carefully through research and set career goals in the short, medium, and long term. Besides getting a qualification, there are many factors to consider when planning your career stage.

Discussing these goals with your career change consultant gives you the opportunity to get valuable feedback. The consultant will also help you find the best place to change your job.

Market Value Criteria

A person’s true worth in terms of the Market value is defined by the skills he acquired and his professional behavior towards a company. The standards change with the times, and there are no absolute numbers or values.

If the content of work changes, the human resources required will inevitably change. It is important not only to think about your own value but also to know the standards that match the times. Robots are taking the place of humans in the simple work of IT. Therefore, in the human resources market, it tends to be important to have skills that only that person can do.

To Increase the Value of your Job Market

Expand your Network and Know your Current Market Value

Even if you want to increase the market value, it is important to know the current market value, whether you are already high or low.

Think about what you want to be in the future and compare. For example, if an engineer wants to improve his / her engineering skill in the future, let’s have contact with other engineers. One thing to keep in mind here is that you shouldn’t compare it to someone who isn’t the type of job you want to pursue. Even if an engineer compares with a salesperson, he/she determines that the market value is low because he/she does not have sales skills. Try to compare it with the person who follows the direction you want to go.

Expand your contacts, ask what others have compared to you, what you’re doing, and find out if there’s a hint to increase your market value.

If you want to broaden your network, please refer to this article.

Tips for Successful Networking

Set a Target Person Close to you and Steal Skills

It is important to work hard to expand the network of contacts but find someone close to you that you want to refer to. Set a person who is one level higher than you, and try stealing the skill you want to steal.

For example, if your presentation skills are high, try to steal that person’s way of speaking, and if you are good at making materials, try to steal the story or way of showing the materials. If possible, try to work actively together and get direct guidance.

Can Respond to New Business with Flexible Ideas

As new services and businesses are being created with AI (artificial intelligence), what companies are demanding from employees is also changing at an accelerating pace. From such a background, it can be said that human resources who can respond to new business with flexible ideas regardless of the past are required. Even as new technologies continue to emerge, we can’t keep up with the times by sticking to the methods of the past and sticking to the achievements gained from them.

It is important to throw away stereotypes and have a flexible posture. In addition, people who are sensitive to such changes in the times and improve their skills accordingly will also be attractive to companies. Set your own goals, hone your skills to achieve them, and aim for career advancement.

What are the Three Components of Market Value?

1. Skill

The most obvious element that can be appealed to with a resume is programming skills and the ability to speak English. For example, even in English, the number of jobs will change just by raising the beginner level to the business level. The more skills you have, the better, but of course, it doesn’t make sense unless you plan to use them. Be sure to acquire skills that are relevant to the direction you want to go.

2. Achievements

You can appeal with this resume. Of course, you can make an appeal at an interview as well, but what I want to be careful about is what I was in charge of in that achievement.

For example, if you almost completed one project by yourself, you can be proud that you did it, and you will be able to answer when asked during the interview. On the contrary, if you participated in a big project but just followed the instructions, you would think it was not your achievement. It’s important to write on your resume, but always be aware of what you did in your work.

3. Career Plan

The more clearly you have a career plan, the more you have decided what you want to do, and the effort to acquire skills to achieve your goals will naturally increase the market value. At interviews, you may be asked questions about your career plan such as “What do you want to do in the future?” “What are your 5-year future plans?”

If you have never created a career plan, you may want to try referring to the following articles.

Reform Business Management System

06.01.2022 by hamza // Leave a Comment

From this time, we will talk about reform of the business management system (system of business planning and execution evaluation that helps management decision making and performance improvement).

What is Business Management System Reform?

At the 65th “Management Reform from the Management Side,” I explained the reform of the business management system as follows.

  • Make sure that the system from the establishment of the management plan to the evaluation of execution functions to help the management decision making and the improvement of business performance.
  • Work on reforms from both the management plan formulation system and the management execution evaluation system
  • To make the business management system a high-performance system that functions as a foundation and place for management reforms to formulate and evaluate corporate strategies and business strategies.
  • Utilize a management accounting system that helps improve business performance and makes decisions so that the business management system can function effectively.

The business management system is “a management system that turns PDCA of management”, but I think that the reform is to work from the three perspectives of the organization, system, and people mentioned in BPR. When it comes to business management systems, we tend to think of numbers-based systems and information systems, but please note that this also includes reforms regarding “business management organization” and “business management capabilities of top management and middle managers”. The above figure shows the framework of business management system reform.

Problems Found in Business Management Systems

Many companies operate a business management system, which is a system for evaluating execution from business plans. However, companies experiencing the following problems need to reform their business management systems to help them make better business decisions and improve business performance.

1. Planning System Problems

  • The theme of the medium-term plan is comprehensive, the emphasis is not clear, and management resource allocation is dispersed
  • Since the strategic option proposals for responding to changes in the business environment have not been considered at the planning stage, decision-making to respond to changes in the business environment will be delayed (following).
  • Since the medium-term plan (strategy) and the annual plan (measures) are not linked well, the strategy is not dropped into measures and is not materialized
  • The use of priority theme action plans is formalized, and the link between management results and on-site results is weak
  • Numerical focus is on formulating management plans, and there is insufficient consideration of strategies and measures
  • It takes too much time to formulate a management plan, there is no sense of speed, and the planning cost is high.

2. Performance Evaluation System Issues

  • Understanding of management results and site results is not linked to analysis and countermeasures
  • Plans will be developed over time, but the verification mechanism associated with execution will be weak, and the next step will continue with inadequacy.
  • There is no mechanism to connect the on-site results to the management results, and it is not enough to improve the sense of accomplishment on-site.
  • A monitoring system for achieving on-site results has been introduced, but there is no system for evaluating the degree of execution of on-site measures.
  • Because there are not enough systems to support future outlook and advanced prediction, countermeasures will be delayed
  • The system does not have a system to see what the mid-term plan has achieved and where it has not.

3. Business Management Problem

Business Meeting
  • The place of the “Management Meeting” does not function as the “place of management reform” such as the mid-term management evaluation of the entire company and problem business.
  • The “business meeting” site is not functioning as a “business reform site” because it is focused on short-term performance reviews.
  • The roles and functions of the group head office / headquarters and local headquarters / bases in business management have become ambiguous, causing mutual distrust and coordination work.
  • The division of roles between the Corporate Planning Office and the management department is ambiguous, and it takes time for each other’s coordination work.

4. Human problems

  • Because the overall image of management reform by top management is not clearly stated in the medium-term management plan, the direction of management reform cannot be conveyed.
  • Because there is a lack of ability to formulate effective business strategies and various measures on the business line side, the figures for the mid-term plan and annual plan are weak.
  • The annual total lacks a sense of commitment between the top management and each department, which causes each department not to take action early and early.
  • Staff have the ability to analyze monthly performance, but have poor prospects and forecasts in the future, and are unable to come up with measures.

5. Management Accounting System Problems

  • Cannot make decisions on strategies / measures, because integrated profit / loss by business and profit / loss by customer cannot be seen.
  • There is a mechanism to display monthly profit and loss management information, but there is no mechanism to view information on future advanced profit and loss management and upfront funding management.
  • It takes a lot of time to grasp the business consolidation management accounting information of the group, and it is inefficient
  • The management staff of the business divisions and affiliated companies and the staff at the head office are taking a long time to understand the numbers, and they have not been able to make the original reform proposal.

I think there are many other issues as well, but please make sure that the business management system is functioning effectively and efficiently so that it can improve business performance and make decisions.

Expansion of Business Management System

Group management has advanced, and in addition to the business management of individual companies, we have entered the age of group business management. It can also be said that the era of global business management has come along with the globalization of management.

Business management systems are expanding into systems that help management decision-making and business performance at the group and global level, but Japanese companies are facing new challenges. One of the current challenges is the utilization of IT to quickly aggregate and analyze business management figures on a consolidated business basis. Since the consolidated company and the parent company or holding company are spending time collecting and analyzing business management figures, we are trying to utilize IT to streamline business management operations.

The essential issue is the establishment of a business management system on a consolidated business basis. For this purpose, it is necessary to introduce and utilize a business consolidation management accounting system. Improving the ability of business managers and business staff to formulate business plans and evaluate business execution on a business-consolidated basis is essential.

It is often said that Japanese companies are lagging behind in the utilization of IT as a business management platform, but the major challenge is to introduce a business consolidation management accounting system as early as possible and improve its utilization.

Every day, managers have to make a lot of information and make decisions such as budgeting, budget management, financial management and business planning. There are a wide variety of things that managers have to think about, such as setting goals for companies and effective use of resources that they can have. It can be said that the management’s job is to constantly make the right decisions in order to improve business performance.

Therefore, the business management system is a reliable source. A tool that manages data is indispensable in comparing the budget prepared in advance with actual results, analyzing the cause of the difference, and devising a countermeasure.

This time, I will explain what business management is all about, how to effectively use the business management system, and the importance of leadership.

What is Business Management?

First of all, what is business management? Though the way of thinking and the mechanism varies from company to company, it generally means to manage the resources (people, goods, money, information) of a company in an integrated manner in order to operate the company efficiently.

And the term “management” here means the following PDCA cycle.

  • Plan for realizing management goals and visions
  • Activities of each department and department (Do)
  • Understanding and evaluation of activity contents (Check)
  • Improvement (Act) based on the evaluation results

This PDCA is indispensable for the direction that companies should take and for strategic planning. And many companies have introduced a business management system in order to carry out PDCA efficiently.

How to Effectively Use the Business Management System

Businesses introduce a business management system because the business management work has to process a large amount of data, which is a heavy load. However, if a system is introduced, business management does not go well. If a system for turning PDCA is not in place, introducing a business management system will not be useful for business decisions.

Then, what kind of points should we pay attention to so that we can effectively use the business management system? Let’s look at the main points.

  1. Clarify the medium-term plan
  2. Link mid-term and long-term plans
  3. Do not formalize the execution plan by closely coordinating with the field
  4. Enrich plans and measures, not numbers
  5. Clarify your goals
  6. Repeat the evaluation of execution in a short period of time and use it for analysis and countermeasures.
  7. Create a mechanism for on-site performance evaluation

It is important to remember that a business management system is just a “tool”. If the PDCA cycle mechanism described above is not in place, it cannot be used for management decision making.

Leadership Required to Utilize the Business Management System

A business management system is a tool, which means that it cannot decide on its own. It’s yours to decide what medium-term plans and long-term goals you will use the information derived from the system.

What you need is your own “leadership”. It is important to correctly convey the meaning of collecting data to the company and to guide the direction to proceed based on the collected information. In other words, the business management system is used as a “tool for taking control”.

Even if you make a mistake, don’t make a business management system a “tool for monitoring employees and companies.” If you decide only “what you should not do” from data and numbers, employees may be shrunk and may not want to upload data properly.

Based on the information obtained from the business management system, we will continue to improve in order to unite all employees toward the company’s goal. We need strong leadership to achieve this.

Summary

Many companies have already begun to consider introducing a business management system in order to carry out business management more effectively and quickly. The important thing to remember here is that a business management system is a “tool”. And what you need to manage your business is not your “tools” but your “leadership.”

In order for companies to carry out stable and healthy social activities, let’s put in place a mechanism for PDCA to operate properly and utilize the business management system.

Health Benefits of Tea

06.01.2022 by hamza // Leave a Comment

Which do you choose when you are offered tea or coffee? If you know why tea is good for your health, you might choose it next. Tea is good for you.

First, before you buy tea, make sure the “tea” is real tea. Real tea comes from a specific plant (Camellia sinensis), and there are only four types: green, black, white, and oolong. Other teas, such as herbal teas, are a mixture of various plants and are not strictly teas.

Real tea isn’t all different, but it does create some significant health benefits. According to Researchers polyphenols (a type of antioxidant) and phytochemicals are the main quality of health properties of tea.

Much research has concentrated on the famous green and black teas (black teas), but white teas (piechers) and oolong teas also have health benefits.

Healthy Benefits of Tea

1. Improve Endurance of Exercise

Tea can increase the endurance of exercise. Researchers have found that catechins (antioxidants) in green tea extracts improve muscle endurance and increase the ability to burn fat.

2. Reduce the Risk of Heart Attack

Drinking tea helps reduce the risk of heart attack. In addition, it may prevent degenerative diseases involving the heart or blood vessels.

3. Prevent Many Cancers

Tea antioxidants can prevent many cancers including breast, colon, colon, skin, lung, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, ovary, prostate and oral cancer.

But don’t rely on tea alone to keep your body healthy. Tea is not a magic remedy. Many studies argue that tea does not have the advantage of fighting cancer, and the research results are mixed.

4. Fights Free Radicals

Tea helps fight free radicals.

Tea has a high concentration of oxygen radical absorption (ORAC), and in a silly way, it destroys free radicals (damaging DNA) in the body. The body tries to fight free radicals on its own, but it is not 100% effective. Tea is grateful to us because free radical damage is linked to cancer, heart disease and neurodegeneration.

5. Your Body is Moisturized

Tea has the function of spreading water to the cells in the body and making it penetrate.

6. Less Likely to have Parkinson’s Disease

Drinking tea is associated with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease. It is associated with a lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease in men and women who routinely drink tea when considering other factors such as smoking, physical activity, age and body mass index (BMI). It was

7. Protect your Body from UV Rays

We know that it is important to limit your exposure to UV light. We also know what it is like to feel a burn. There is information that green tea may work as a sunscreen supplement.

8. Prevent Obesity

The tea suppressed the growth of the waist circumference. One study found that those who regularly drink hot tea had lower waist circumferences and BMI than those who did not. Researchers speculate that regular drinking of tea reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of diabetes, coronary artery disease, and stroke. But remember that correlation is not equal to causality.

9. Reduce the Harm of Tobacco

filling a cup with tea

Drinking tea regularly can offset some of the negative effects of smoking, and may also reduce the risk of lung cancer (a good news, but of course, justification for cigarettes is Not).

10. Effective Against Diabetes

Tea may be beneficial to people with type 2 diabetes. Research suggests that the composition of green tea helped diabetic patients’ ability to process sugar.

12. Make Bones

Green tea has the effect of improving bone density and strength.

13. Effective Against Alzheimer’s

Tea may be an effective medicine for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the nervous system, especially degenerative diseases (think Alzheimer’s). While many factors affect brain health, green tea polyphenols may help maintain the parts of the brain that regulate learning and memory.

Heath Precious of Tea

Most studies of tea are very positive, but it’s not definitive-so keep the following notes in mind before you buy your tea:

Cool and drink. Repeated hot drinks may increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Wait for a few minutes and let it cool before you sip your tea.

The study is compelling, but the rat is not human. The chemical substances contained in tea may react differently with the human body in the laboratory. The active ingredients in green tea, including tannins, may not be biologically effective for humans. This means that similar benefits to research results do not always come to human health.

Not all tea products are manufactured equal. The effectiveness of tea can be determined by the tea variety, canning and processing, and the way it is brewed.

Note: Tea should be consumed safely-do not overdose. So, enjoy good tea-hot or cold-and enjoy it.
