Hi Friends,

With regards,

EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTION - JOHN R. LOGAN



====================================================================================

When I read any book, I scribble my comments / notes in the margins


These reflect my views / opinions about what the author is saying – including my disagreement

Often, my comments are in the nature of telling myself :

Hey ! We should try out this idea in our own business ( Head-hunting / Online Recruitment )

Following are my comments re :

  EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTION - JOHN R. LOGAN

                                                                                                          
=====================================================================================

Pg. No. XI

·         (09-12-2002)

·         Wherever possible “automating” these business processes

·         Reduce “time-to-market

Pg. No. XII

·         With regard to OES, I have similar feelings!

Pg. No. XIII

·         All of our “Projects” are such IT initiatives. This is why I keep asking: “How will this project improve the productivity of our consultants? Of all of our staff?

·         Read “QUOVADIS”

Pg. No. XIV

·         To some extent, I might have failed to communicate these “objectives” to our Tech Team.

Pg. No. XV

·         Our consultants

·         Our Tech Team

·         Applies to all of us.

Pg. No. XVI

·         For us, such “advanced technologies” could be:

Ø  ERP (OES V2)

Ø  Oracle qi

Ø  .Net for Global Recruiter

Ø  Xml

Ø  Knowledge bases instead of mere “Databases”

Ø  ARDIS / ARGIS

Ø  VPN (to connect franchisees)

Ø  Broadband

Ø  Remote working from homes

Ø  Biometrics

Ø  Firewalls

Ø  Universal Messaging

Ø  Video-interviewing

Pg. No. XVII

·         (09-12-02)

Pg. No. 1

·         Read “Nature of our Business”

Pg. No. 2

·         For a Pvt. Ltd. Co. like ours, this is – (Net collection) & - (Profit Margin) (PBT) year-on-year.

·         For us, the more we automate our business processes, the more business we could execute with the same no. of people!

Pg. No. 3

·         Net collection

·         PBT

Pg. No. 5

·         Octopus, Manhattan / JAWS / LOCK-In, are all directed at increasing sales.

Pg. No. 7

·         We would be able to do the same when we download & create a database of 50,000 job-advts. From Naukri / Monster / Jobs Ahead / Job street etc.

·         Well – Said

Pg. No. 8

·         No money to pay salaries!

Pg. No. 12

·         Projects “JAWS” “Lock In” Manhattan, fall in this category.

·         A corporate subscriber of “Global Recruiter” should be able to “Customise” the “Compensation-Trend Graphs” as per his need,

-          Ind.-wise

-          Func.-wise

-          Design.-wise

-          City-wise

-          Period-wise

-          Age-wise

-          Exp.-wise

-          Edu.-wise etc. etc.

·         A HR manager, who can show these graphs to his BOSS at a moment’s notice, can make a big impact!

·         (10-12-02)

·         JAWS

Pg. No. 13

·         Like getting our consultants to search Non-Member Database, even as client / prospective client are narrating his requirement on the phone. PRESTO!

·         E.g.:

·         “Global Recruiter” being able to convert unstructured E-mail resumes into a “structured” database-then “highlighting / refining” keywords into 9 categories & then searching thru “Member-Search” tool. This is what no competitor offers. We have a clear / decisive advantage.

Pg. No. 14

·         “Communicator” Downloading 50,000 job-advts will give us a huge corporate Database + Market Needs Tool (UMS / SMS)

·         Franchisee Network

·         “Compensation-Trends” CD’s (Subscription)

·         .Net web-service

Pg. No. 15

·         See folder on “Annual conference – 2002”

Pg. No. 16

·         We have set “Net collation” targets for each consultant – and both the Teams-and linked their “Incentive” payment to the actual achievement.

·         This is our strategy. Automate as many “Business as Processes” to do more sales with same no. of people. Clients would be willing to pay 20% - 25% if we can find (COMPETENT) executives FAST.

·         (11-12-02)

Pg. No. 17

·         We should not lower prices for offline head hunting. Our clients want SPEED OF RESPONSE & QUALITY OF CANDIDATES.

Pg. No. 18

·         We will do this by downloading everyday 500 job-advts. From various jobsites, creating a database of 100,000 job-advts. & then analyse it (market research).

Pg. No. 19

·         E.g.:-

·         “Global Recruiter”?

·         Eg:-

·         Ma-foil?

·         (11-12-02)

Pg. No. 20

·         Job Advt. database of 1 lakh ads?

·         We may need to create 20000 “Exclusive Pages” – one for each corporate.

·         E.g.:-

·         Someday we will have 1000 franchisees networked with Marol.

Pg. No. 21

·         E.g.

·         “Online Tests” of Industry-leaders to be incorporated in “Global Recruiter”

·         Order Execution

·         This is it!

Pg. No. 22

·         Most important.

Pg. No. 37

·         This Airline filed for bankruptcy yesterday!

·         (12-12-02)

Pg. No. 38

·         We are somewhere here.

Pg. No. 41

·         Maybe by supplying “Global Recruiter” to our clients-and potential client-and integrating their entire recruitment process with our website. We must make “Global Recruiter”, as THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. Then we must implement “JAWS” & “LOCK-IN”.

Pg. no. 45

·         Hru our project Manhattan, we are trying to increase our “stock” of those resumes which are in demand – (by uploading same 500 job advts. on other websites).

·         If, we too, download from web-sites, 500 job-advts. Daily, we too would know, what kind of executives are in demand from what industries & for which locations. That would be our Market Research!

·         (12-12-02)

Pg. No. 53

·         See our own model of “Kal-Chakra”.

Pg. No. 54

·         Can “Global Recruiter” link our website with 1000 Indian corporations, filled with contents of “Resumes” & “Job Advts?” & thereby become INDUSTRY STANDARD?

·         Can we partner with L & T InfoTech in development & deployment of Global Recruiter? Our first meeting today with Mar. Siroor (L & T) could be the first step in that direction.

·         (12-12-02)

Pg. No. 55

·         We too, could be unleashing a Pandora’s Box, with our Project Manhattan-but fear of unknown is always present in all such “revolutionary initiatives!

·         If we don’t make ourselves obsolete, competitors will!

·         Our IT initiatives will have major impact on our operations by next December.

·         This is why I am keen to develop / deploy Global Recruiter, across entire L & T.

Pg. No. 56

·         In last 6 weeks, we have sufficient “Proof of concept” as far as Project Manhattan is concerned.

·         Manhattan is a new business-process.

·         Our website has been “already in place” since Nov. 97 but just not getting enough resumes = whereas Manhattan seems to be succeeding.

·         See Tool (A) & Tool (B) of Manhattan.

·         Get more Resumes

·         This one month alone, we should get more resumes than we got thru our website in last 12 months (> 15000)!

·         Become largest Resume Database on Earth.

Pg. No. 57

·         Patterning with L & T for Global Recruiter would be quite controlled & disciplined.

·         “Exclusive Pages” for 10,000 corporates, would result in “improving customer interaction”

Pg. No. 59

·         Our Project Manhattan / JAWS / LOCK-IN, all fall into this category. It should take less than 3 month, (Nov.-Dec.-Jan.) for Manhattan to settle down & prove that it works. The cost is also quite low. By end of 2003, we should be able to & stabilize, JAWS & LOCK-IN as well.

·         (15-12-02)

·         True the type of interactive TV that we need to launch “Kaun Banega Crorepati?” is still not available.

·         May not be avl. Till 2007.

·         Broadband is a case in point.

Pg. No. 60

·         This will certainly not be the perception of early adopters of our “Global Recruiter”! We are no “SUN” & we don’t have such “Loyal” customers! Our Global Recruiter must work well, the very first time!

Pg. No. 61

·         If our “Global Recruiter” succeeds, it could well become THE INDUSTRY STANDARD – a major competitive advantage.

·         From the “Exclusive Page” concept, we will next move to “3P CLUB MEMBER” concept, to accommodate “TRUSTED” clients to give us an exec. Search assignment WITHOUT an “Advance” or “Minim. Search fee”

·         By a single click ability to upload job-advts. on no. of websites would be a major feature for Global Recruiter. This comes out of our “CPMPOSER” tool, experiment!!

·         (15-12-02)

·         JAWS & “LOCK-IN” are prime examples of this “Imagineering

Pg. No. 62

·         Manhattan is in this category.

Pg. No. 69

·         This is why; collaborating with L & T on “Global Recruiter” is so vital.

Pg. No. 70

·         500 firms? (Business India Survey).

·         OES Module 1 This “Overall buying Pattern” can only emerge by downloading / creating a starred database, and analysing, 100,000 job-advts. From websites, by, say, 20,000 corporates.

·         (JAWS)

·         .Net based web-service for their Recruitment needs? & L & t has been our major customer during last 4 years.

·         Shall we target TOP

Pg. No. 71

·         OES

·         “Exclusive Pages” based on “Job-Advt. Histories” & entering (automatically) each job-advt. info “INQUIRY (OET 1)” & emailing “Long Display” of shortlisted candidates to the advertiser (stored in his own “exclusive page”).

·         E.g.:

·         Auto-Conversion of all email resumes info structured database of Module 1

Pg. No. 72

·         To some extent “Global Recruiter” would link us directly with end-user.

·         22-12-02)

·         Would Project Octopus (1000 franchise) go against this?

Pg. No. 73

·         Thru “Global Recruiter” web-service, actual “End-User” dept. heads would track / monitor their Vacancies on their own (-rather than, just the Recruitment Manager only)

·         Analysis of 100,000 job-advts. Released by 20,000 corporates.

Pg. No. 74

·         E.g.:

·         “Time to Fill a Vacancy” graphs drawn in my notes

·         ------------ -------------- ------------

·         ------------ -------------- ------------

·         ------------ -------------- ------------

·         ------------ -------------- ------------

·         I think L & T InfoTech could be this – as for as our Global Recruiter is concerned.

Pg. No. 75

·         This is precisely, why teeing-up with “L & T InfoTech” in “Global Recruiter” development / experimentation is so important / crucial for future success.

Pg. No. 76

·         Filed for bankruptcy 15 days back!

·         This, in our case, equals – storing each & every clients, “Purchase Order” history in our database (client Janam - Kundli) – which POPS-UP, every time a client phones.

Pg. No. 77

·         A comprehensive history of each company’s job-advts. On “Exclusive Page” would certainly delight any Recruitment Manager.

Pg. no. 78

·         We will need to modify OES to incorporate this feature. Kind of “Customer Flight Deck” described by Patricia Seybold in her book “Customer Revolution” (p= 295?)

Pg. No. 79

·         In our business, these are:

Ø  Response Time (i.e. time to fill a Vacancy), and

Ø  Quality (i.e. competent candidates).

·         Price may not be very material factor.

·         Boyden PSS ABC shilputsi MaFoi etc.

Pg. No. 84

·         Can “Exclusive Pages” emerge as a kind of CRM?

Pg. No. 85

·         Someday “Exclusive Pages” will give this.

·         In our business, “Quality” of candidates recommended is far more important than “price”.

·         “Latest Arrivals”

Pg. No. 86

·         We have set “Net collection” targets for each consultant.

Pg. No. 88

·         “Execution” is going to be an important factor in Project Manhattan.

·         Once Manhattan stabilizes, we would have a wealth of data on “Buying-habits” of thousands of companies.

·         (23-12-02)

Pg. No. 89

·         More & more Indian Corporates would want to hire TEMPS (temporary staff) in course of time. We must gear-up to offer such “Unique” Service, by creating a “(TEMPS)” database.

·         Projects – Manhattan – Global Recruiter – JAWS – Octopus, all suffer from this malady! These are all revolutionary!

Pg. No. 90

·         Like I said, “L & T” as far as Global Recruiter is concerned.

Pg. No. 95

·         JAWS

·         Manhattan

·         Website

·         “Global Recruiter”

-          OES.

-          Octopus

·         Because of bugs in OES, we could not act on 130 shopping-carts (received thru our website) in last 12 months!!

·         (23-12-02)

Pg. No. 96

·         E.g.:

·         Even today 25000 resumes have not been entered into Module 1 database I (backlog) – and thousands of others have not been “coded” correctly for “Industry” “Function” “Desig. Level” this is the poor state of our back-end system!

Pg. No. 97

·         We have just designed (but not launched) such an “Exclusive Paage” for Corporates.

Pg. No. 98

·         This is why, I keep insisting on “automating” whatever business process, we can.

Pg. No. 99

·         Online “sale” of resume database would come in this category.

·         Franchisees instead of our own “branches”. Or consultants working from their homes.

·         Automate.

·         Member & Non Member Search Tools.

Pg. No. 102

·         Under project Manhattan, (nearby 15000 resumes in this one month), we need “Email Resume Extraction” Tool quickly, to tackle the huge arrival of resumes.

·         Adding more Data Entry operators is not the answer. We will need an army!

Pg. No. 103

·         Under project “OCTOPUS”, all our franchisees will directly log into our Marol-based “Order Execution System”.

·         Remotely searching our Resume-database for that “UNIQUE” candidate from amongst thousands.

Pg. No. 104

·         We are going thru this phase with our several projects.

Pg. No. 108

·         Kal-Chakra is both our VISION & our corporate strategy.

Pg. No. 109

·         Our “ecosystem” consists of all “partners” shown on Kal-Chakra.

Pg. No. 110

·         “Time to fill Vacancy” is obviously at the top but at lower levels, “Time to send a Proposal” & Time to send a shortlist & time to arrange interviews etc. etc.

·         These are issues which are CRITICAL to a client.

·         TIME & QUALITY

·         OES does-for “TIME”.

Pg. No. 111

·         In OES, we have fixed “Standard Times” for each activity to be performed by a consultant & against each, we can also measure “Actual Time Taken” so as to calculate the “Variance”

·         We have partly done this in Project Manhattan.

·         See my note on “FLIGHT DECK”.

Pg. No. 112

·         So far, we are largely focussed on these – internal processes – and I believe right by too!

Ø  Huge Resume Database building

Ø  Pinpoint Search (of most relevant executives based on key-words)

Ø  Superfast communication (with clients & candidates)

Ø  Fault free order Execution.

·         (24-12-02)

Pg. No. 113

·         “Save Money” type of applications

·         “Make Money” type of applications.

·         Someday, we will need to master the “communication Processes” employed by call-centres.

·         Exclusive Pages & Global Recruiter.

·         We received ORACLE 9i upgrade recently what can it do for us?

·         Maybe Mr. Nagles & Cyril.

Pg. No. 114

·         Perseverance

·         Module 1 supplied by Vxceed & OES supplied by APPLITECH just did not work – so our 6 month old Tech Team has a tough job.

·         “Global Recruiter” is about to be “suspended” because of lack of finances.

·         COST  TIME   QUALITY

Pg. No. 117

·         See my model of Kal-Chakra depicting all “partners” of our own ecosystem

Pg. No 119

·         Just as OES will “integrate” our franchisees into our network, Project Manhattan will integrate the “jobsites” and JAWS will integrate the small town Newspapers & “LOCK-IN” will integrate the cybercafés and Global Recruiter will envelope clients.

·         (24-12-02)

·         Thru use of JAWS we too, will broadcast hundreds of vacancies so that jobseekers can respond.

·         Can we treat Monster / Jobs Ahead / Job Street / Naukri etc. as some kind of “Resume Producers”? Once, thru project Manhattan, we overtake their individual resume databases, they may well agree to “Share” these with us officially & share our revenue!

Pg. No. 121

·         May be 3pjobs.com is a “Steel Mill” for us! If project Manhattan & Global Recruiter Succeed, we may not need 3pjobs.com!!

Pg. No. 122

·         E.g.:

·         All jobsites sharing their individual resume databases with all others.

Pg. No. 123

·         If our franchisees must access our database thru OES, we must make sure no data can be downloaded / printed / emailed / altered – modified / deleted by any franchisee. Sorry! – But we can’t trust anyone!

·         We have to be extremely careful as to what “Data” can a franchisee “add”. There are dangers even here.

·         Same with our franchisees or with “Exclusive Pages” of corporates & candidates.

·         (25-12-02)

·         X-Mas

Pg. No. 124

·         Our business entirely depends upon SECURITY of our databases. This is our MAIN ASSET.

Pg. No. 125

·         Can we think of: No resume database search can be conducted by franchisee, without first creating a valid “sales order-son”?

·         We must install BIOMETRIC devices at each franchisee premises. This is a MUST.

·         Every mouse click of every franchisee to be tracked

·         This is why remote backup from Residence is needed.

·         X-Mas / 2002

Pg. No. 129

·         Kal-Chakra

·         We will need to integrate into our “ecosystem”,

·         Websites

-          Franchisees

-          Cyber cates

-          ISPs

-          Cable Operators

-          Colleges

-          Interview Experts

-          Telephone Companies

-          Newspapers

-          TV Channels etc.

Pg. No. 130

·         For us, it may be relatively easy to forecast manpower-needs of any given company by analysing all the job-advts. Released by it over last 2/3 years & forecast any Industry’s manpower needs by analysing job-advts. Released by all the companies belonging to that Industry, during last 3 months.

·         In our case, could the Focal Point, be 1000 franchisee placement agencies? (= retail chain).

·         The “Operating-Procedures” document prepared for the franchisees

Pg. No. 134

·         In Project “Manhattan” we could add / delete websites fairly easily-and, in future, we should be able to quickly “drop” those franchisees who fail to achieve their quarterly “collection” targets.

·         “Hire & Fire” policy is catching up, even with corporates.

·         3P-Your first choice.

Pg. No. 135

·         E.g.:

·         Our ability to cater to “sunrise” industries (in India, at the moment) such as Telecom / Retailing / Insurance / ITES / Infrastructure etc.

Pg. No. 137

·         “If you don’t make yourself Obsolete, someone else will” – from “Marketing Myopia” by Theodore Lewitt.

·         E.g.:

·         Like our own website (3pjobs) being replaced by Projects – Manhattan – Octopus. (to take care of supply-side Demand side)

·         Manhattan will stabilize in next 3 months (say by April 2003), but “Octopus” can only take off by Dec. 2003 & stabilize by Dec. 2004.

Pg. No. 141

·         Someday, it is possible that several of our franchisees, may deal with our same customer (e.g.: Reliance), in their respective geographic regions.

Pg. No. 142

·         Our business has following “CRITICAL” aspects:

Ø  How to build up a large database of jobseekers fast? (Passive & Active jobseekers)

Ø  How to find the “Needle in the haystack”? The most suitable / most competent exec. For the job? The SUPER search-engine with predictive capability!

·         Too mechanical.

·         Ans:

·         As often as needed to stay ahead of competition.

Pg. No. 143

·         Global Recruiter?

1)    Auto conversion of every job-advt. into “COMPOSER”

2)    Auto extraction of every email resume into a structured database.

Pg. No. 144

·         “Customer Need is simply:  Fill-up a vacancy as fast as possible with as competent an executive as possible.

·         If we can meet abovementioned “Customer-Needs”, our fees will not be a constraint for most clients. Filling-up a vacancy with “wrong” guy or filling it too late costs a client a lot.

Pg. No. 154

·         We have been waiting for over 3 years!

Pg. No. 155

·         We must keep this in mind when trying to implement – JAWS – OCTOPUS – LOCK-IN, each of which will have hundreds of “remote” users.

Pg. No. 158

·         We had placed order for OES on 24-08-2000 and dely (installation) was promised on 26-01-2001 & Applitech “abandoned” the project around March 2002!!

·         It took us 6 month to debug OES after APPLITECH simply walked-out half way! The cost is enormous. Finally, today morning Sunitha could give demo. Of bug-free OES to consultants.

·         (26-12-02)

Pg. No. 161

·         In my report “QUOVADIS” (1987), I had recommended that L & T may have a “Director-Info. Technology” at the Board level

Pg. No. 162

·         Every now & then “Express Computer” features a company which has implemented Advanced Technology – and how it went about & what problems it faced / overcame.

Pg. No. 169

·         With projects Manhattan (resume-collection) AND project OCTOPUS (orders-collection), one day, 3P should become, a “Traffic Controller”! – With all internal order execution processes having been “automated”!

Pg. No. 170

·         OUR WISH-LIST

1)    Free-or cheap SMS for “Job Alerts” & “Candidate – Alerts”

2)    Internet based video – interviewing

3)    Consultants working from their homes

4)    Franchisees logging into OES from their cities.

·         Q: -

·         Can we put together above mentioned projects (in this sequence) entirely on our own funds? May take 3 years. By that time others may overtake us!

Pg. No. 188

·         For us these “Back-End Applications” are:-

1)    Auto conversion of job-advts. to composer & FTP upload

2)    Auto conversion of Resumes into structured databases (ARDIS)

3)    Broadcasting of JAWS

4)    Locking-In of cyber cafes by Resume-Blasting to 5000 corporates

5)    Remote use of OES by 1000 franchisees

6)    Video-Interviewing of candidates from Partner cyber cafes

·         (28-12-02)

·         If we can pull-off above projects by Dec. 2003, we could hope to tie-up with Reliance Infocomm to implement, “Kaun Banega Bhagyashali” on interactive TV.

·         Abhi

Pg. No. 193

·         Sri Ram / Raju

·         E.g.:

·         How does OES (e.g.) improve our competitive advantage? Is this obvious to consultants? “Strategic Value” of OES, will not become “obvious” until, at least 200 assignments get entered & all “Reports” start showing “Trends & Patterns” which would enable us to take “strategic” marketing decisions.

Pg. No. 195

·         Raju –

·         In May 2002 (Annual Conference), we prepared “Expense Budget” for 2002 / 03. After 9 months, do we know, for each “A/c Head”, Budget vs. Actual performance / variances / reasons?

·         Perfect “Match-Making”

·         Clients (Job-Advts.)

·         Jobseekers (Resumes)

Pg. No. 199

·         We have miserably failed in this!

·         We do none of these on our website.

·         Will “exclusive-pages” provide these?

Pg. No. 200

·         By creating & maintaining a history of all job-advts. Released by a company, we could, from time-to-time, inform them (thru email) about the no. of suitable executives we have in our database, who could fill each of those positions. Even “Long-Displays” can be mailed.

·         We failed to respond to clients shopping-carts, altogether! Those corporates never returned to our website!

Pg. No. 204

·         We are, after all, a “Brokerage” firm - a “Matchmaker” between Buyers (corp. clients / employers)

·         And sellers (jobseekers).

·         Can we think of developing “Global Recruiter” in this way? – by roping in 4/5 large internet-savvy clients – “3P VLUB”?

Pg. No. 206

·         72000 resumes / 13000 keywords / 17, 72, 808 occurrences of keywords once we build-up a large database of Job-Advts, we will repeat this exercise.

Pg. No. 208

·         “Kaun Banega Bhagyashali?” is based on this logic.

Pg. No. 210

·         This is like our providing in depth “Compensation Surveys” to those corporates who sign-up for exclusive page or 3P CLUB.

Pg. No. 223

·         Project Manhattan-JAWS-LOCK IN-OCTOPUS etc. may not / will not push up our “Sales / Profit” during 2003 / 2004.

·         Their effect (on our Market Share & Market Value) can be felt only in 2005 / 06, if implemented in 2003.

·         This is our goal too – raise the barriers thru use of advanced technologies & brand-new business processes.

Pg. No. 224

·         Why are we not getting enough resumes from Monster under project Manhattan?

·         I am a strong believer of this.

·         Even if we cannot fix “targets”, we can, most certainly, measure where we stand today in relation to yesterday.

Pg. No. 227

·         Abhi

·         E.g.:-

·         OES to support 1000 franchisee placement agencies, who will be members of our eco-system. Competitors have OES-so they cannot offer that to placement agencies!! – But we alone can.
