@chriscfox Just think the saving in productivity if PowerPoint or its ilk didn't exist.

How much time is wasted when doing business strategy in ensuring the slide look 'pretty' rather than actually doing any work?

@chriscfox The United States purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867 . The purchase price was set at $7.2 million (equivalent to $129 million in 2023), or about 2 cents per acre ($4.74/km2).

/1 "Strategy 101 is about choices: You can't be all things to all people." – Michael Porter
Attempting to cater to everyone often leads to diluted efforts & unclear messaging. Instead, businesses should focus on specific strengths & target markets to achieve success.

@chriscfox Uml use cases are valuable way of mapping user pathways.

@Telegraph No, they're businesses that make a profit and will pay VAT based on their profit. No profit equals no VAT to pay.
English
It's a flagship Labour policy. But one of Britain’s top constitutional and human rights lawyers has warned that the planned VAT raid on private schools might actually be illegal...
English
@chriscfox Specific out of scope "we will not...." Design principles or, key decisions, are always a good idea. Puts paid to pet projects that don't facilitate the strategy and creates focus on the right things.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." - Napoleon Bonaparte We don't tend to think in terms of 'enemies' in #businessstrategy. But we can generalise this saying.

@TalkTalk You have a server issue on tiscali mails via outlook today. Web mail is OK. Several devices on several addresses- so it is a problem at your end.
English
@TalkTalk It resolved itself after 48 hours, the emails sent during the period never arrived and disappeared. No great loss in reality
This sort of thing seems to happen about twice a year with the tiscali email system.

@dwindersdever Hello David, I am sorry for the issues you have had with your email services, can you confirm if the issue with your email service is resolved or still. Mustafa

@talktalk
You have an issue on your outbound server. Tiscali Emails are not being received by recipients. Multiple devices and multiple tiscali email addressees, no errors on client devices. Some do get through, others not, tiscali to tiscali no go at all.

@BritishGas Seems really hard to submit a meter reading from an online account. One ends up going round in loops. In the end, I found a direst link to the submit form that is outside the online account and identifies you through submitting your account number. Bizarre.
English
@BritishGasHelp It seems very difficult to submit a meter reading through an online account; you end up going round in loops. Eventually discovered a link to the form directly outside of an account accessed via an account number on the form but you can't find in on the site.

Looking for views on the difference between a Target Operating Model and a CONOPS?

@BrineMP @RishiSunak @CommonsHealth As much as this policy is well meant and your right about the highly negative results of smoking; history tells us that prohibition creates unintended consequences, for example alcohol prohibition in the US in the twenties and early thirties. I am not a smoker.
English
Solid support from me for this which we are delighted to see @RishiSunak announce. It is the very embodiment of a long term decision and it will save tens of thousands of lives. @CommonsHealth
Rishi Sunak@RishiSunak
1/ In the UK smoking causes 1 in 4 cancer deaths. So I’m proposing changing the law so children turning 14 or younger this year can never legally be sold cigarettes in their lifetime. A smoke-free generation. None of us want our children to grow up to smoke. Here's why 👇🧵

@seantoms Particularly as most were lowish paid staff and the benefits would have been not great in any case.
English
@seantoms The trouble is some car manufacturers have stopped selling diesels already. My 2022, Ford kuga was one of the last diesels to be manufactured. I suspect by the time we get to the original date you won"t be able to buy anyway.

This morning the Prime Minister is likely to put back the ban on sale of ICE cars to 2035 , the same as the EU , the banning of gas boilers will also be delayed and the crazy attacks on the rented sector re EPC changes and the bans will also go - at last pragmatism prevails
English
@seantoms Just got back from West Wales prior to the change over. The "prepared" and "unprepared" situation on signage looked completely crazy- complex. Did 20mph just outside in St David's, in an existing zone, and got overtaken !
English
Welsh speed limits reduced today to 20mph from 30 mph , less than 30% of people in You Gov poll support this - but hey the Welsh bureaucrats don’t care about public opinion - dogma - what’s next 10 mph limit - man with a red flag walking in front of each car ? Back to 1900 ?

@Nigel_Farage Nigel - Already in France with Crit Air.... Classes of vehicle banned on polluting days in the summer; over vast areas of France. Not just in cities either.
