If you are preparing for a lecture, there are few things you can do to help compose an interesting speech. The first step is to consider your audience. You may compose a different lecture for university students than you would for a conference of experienced professionals. Your audience can play an important role in determining the style of your speech and the content of your lecture. Another helpful step is to make various notes for your lecture. These notes could include sources, references, and quotes. Extra notes could come in handy if you allow your audience to ask questions. Once you have prepared your lecture, it may be helpful to time it. If your lecture is supposed to take up a specific block of time, timing it could help you make sure that you do not run over your allotted time.

Business professional Michael Cappy’s appointment as Consul-General for the Consulate of Grenada in Florence, Italy since 1998 has seen him become ever more committed to dedicate his skills, background and resources to making the Caribbean ever more important in the international community of business professionals.
Michael Cappy, as a member of the Italian Diplomatic Corps through his services as Consul-General of Grenada, is a tireless supporter of the academic contributions of St. George’s University, a private international university established in the southwest peninsula of Grenada in 1976. St. George’s University began classes in its School of Medicine in 1977, and sixteen years later added graduate and undergraduate educational programs to expand its academic offerings to the Caribbean and beyond. Michael Cappy founded the MBA and Master of International Business School. St. George’s University has a turbulent history which matches the tribulations of its island home of Grenada. Approximately 1000 United States citizens were living, working and studying on Grenada when a Marxist cabal overturned the government of Grenada in 1979. Given the violence of the coup and killing of the President, government officials and civilians during the coup, and the subsequent lockdown of the island’s citizens, the United States’ Operation Urgent Fury executive action to evacuate U.S. citizens, students and faculty from the island was largely led by the St. George’s student who sent information outside the island via a ham radio. Evacuated students were set up in classes on Long Island, New York, New Jersey and Barbados until 1984, when St. George’s University returned to its island home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George%27s_University Michael Cappy was pivotal to the creation of the Eastern Caribbean Center for Management Development, a program established through the Corporate Education and Management Services Solutions division for the purpose of providing management training and development. The ECCMD is affiliated with a variety of faculties around the world, as well as being mounted through the University College of the Caribbean. Academic Director of the ECCMD Dr. James E. Reinmuth gives added weight to the academic rigor of the program, as Dr. Reinmuth is a Dean Emeritus and Distinguished Lecturer of the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon. With a variety of books and articles in business management to his credit, Dr. Reinmuth has served on the Boards of Directors of many companies.
Through the efforts of Michael Cappy and Director of Academics Dr. James Reinmuth, distinguished faculty instruction is abundant in the Eastern Caribbean Center for Management Development. The Department of Business Studies at St. George’s University, the Stockholm University School of Business, the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, the Audencia-Nantes School of Management in France and the University of Washington School of Business serve as sources for advanced instruction and visiting faculty lecturers. This wide and international list of credentialed faculty institutions vouch for and attest to the strength and academic rigor of the Center. The Eastern Caribbean Center for Management Development as envisioned by Michael Cappy is a source of rigorous academic management training and development for corporate and public sector clients, offering training through both workshops and seminars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George%27s_University Even once a new strategy for doing business as been selected by the company, and is in the process of implementation, turnaround business professional Michael Cappy may find that those associated with the company like suppliers, customers or the staff may resist change or may be detrimentally critical of the new strategy or the means of its implementation. These types of resistance often come from groups who are not willing to risk a loss of profit or fear personal loss, such as termination. Should the resistance be sufficient, a blockade against effective strategy implementation may result, and a successful recovery may not be possible. It is the business of the experienced managers of Gibraltar Foundation like Michael Cappy to anticipate these and other problems and act quickly to adjust or re-strategize to save the company.
Michael Cappy takes into account several different outcomes which may occur as a result of the implementation of strategy plans. If a bad strategy has been used, or a good strategy suffers in implementation, an irreversible decline may begin. In some instances, the company may continue to fail due to a lack of effectiveness of the restructuring plan, but the management team or others in the company believe it is still possible to reposition the company with a change in strategy. The measurement of success of a turnaround is generally when the company reaches a level commensurate with the performance of the company before the failure began. Most turnaround managers and professionals estimate a time frame between two and four years to effectively measure the success of a re-strategy and restructure plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_management Michael Cappy Uses Gibraltar Resources to Customize Strategies for CompaniesThe Service and Technology division of the Gibraltar Foundation of Michael Cappy works to fund emerging technology businesses in the early stages to support growth.

Executing an acquisition successfully presents a range of challenges, which will differ from company to company, but these general tips are useful to keep in mind to give yourself the highest chance of completing the transaction efficiently.
Assemble A Good Team You will need advice from a range of different sources before you can pull off an acquisition, as there are a lot of legal, financial and business decisions that need to be made before you can go ahead. This usually means that you will need to assemble a team made up of professionals who can provide quality advice and, ideally, have experience with previous acquisitions. Develop A Good Plan You need to understand the purpose of your acquisition and how you plan to go about executing it before you actually start the process. If you don’t create a plan, you could find it difficult to convince upper management that the acquisition is worth it or may end up losing focus when it is actually underway. Valuation Michael Cappy has been involved in a number of successful acquisitions. In order to execute the transaction properly you need to be able to effectively value the company you aim to acquire, based on its current output, what it may add to your business and the potential of the company and the people within it. This is often a very difficult task that requires a lot of research and foresight. |
