Time demands many alterations at various stages of life. In the similar fashion your business needs many periodic changes from time to time. To determine what should be the affective changes which has been tried and tested in the industry; there’s a system called as ELC (Enterprise Life Cycle). Know the ‘loop holes’ on time and make early calculations.
The iterative process incorporates new technologies, new business plans, new capabilities, disposition and maintenance of the existing elements of the organization. The whole process is closely related with the enterprise engineering and program management cycle, which is commonly called as System Development Life Cycle. Through this concept you can control and evaluate your investments efficiently. It will also aid in implementing EA (Enterprise Architecture) for you organization. 
If ask any modern entrepreneur or business student ‘what is the latest business trend today?’, then his immediate answer would be ‘enterprise architecture’. With a sound knowledge he would advise you to begin enterprise architecture for your organization. Do you want to know what the details of ‘enterprise architecture’ beforehand?
Few IT executives would rather relate enterprise architecture (EA) with their technical field, but technically speaking, this architecture is for your entire business, each and every entity. Many people simply don’t realize that it required for the whole enterprise and not only the IT department. To explain EA, I can say that – as knowing the requirements, it is simple to create any system; in the similar fashion, by knowing the architecture of your enterprise you can achieve the essence of its management and progress.
Computers are intelligent we all know but they can never compete with the human intelligence. But what if somebody combines the computer and human intelligence together? What should we call it? It is called as Business Intelligence (BI).
Were you ever worried about the business execution? Are you the person who needs instant access to data for your business-decision making? If yes, then you should opt for BI, which is a computer based technique used extensively by all small and large businesses. As all the decisions are directly based on the database, BI allows you to dig-out, spot and analyze your business database within a second. For example, you can generate reports for sales, costs, income, and various other departments.
When you are in a meeting with your clients or when you reach at a crucial stage to take important decisions, BI provides you the access and analysis to all the important business data. It becomes easier to take competitive decisions and risks through the historical, current and predictive values. Due to its firm decision making capabilities, it is sometimes referred as DSS (Decision Support System).
Wouldn’t it be great if you happen to read your client’s and your employee’s mind? As an entrepreneur, I would have died for it, as it would have helped me to develop what exactly my customers wanted, maintain my employee satisfaction level. Unfortunately, we aren’t that lucky! But there’s a way out. We have ‘Enterprise Feedback Management’ and ‘Market Surveys’. Make the best out of it for your company!
Large enterprises usually have a separate dedicated team for Enterprise Feedback Management system as they know its importance in the competitive world. The surveys and questionnaires have now shifted from costly traditional papers to cost-effective emails. Lots more is derived from these surveys using human intelligence, which gives clear picture of the latest trends in the market and how your company is doing in the race. Won’t you like to know how your product is working for your customers and what’s the satisfaction level of your employees? Sounds great! So go ahead and implement this new trend.
Why don’t most of the small businesses survive? After much research and discussions, I found the answer. Most of them still follow the same old-fashioned leadership techniques – the ‘leadership-myths’.
