SharePoint to build skills in the Police Force

Following on from:

So for instance, in inducting new Police Officers you would include PowerPoint slides with links to the following:

---

Scales of Justice tipping

(If you were ever to use this to train real Police Officers you would make sure you checked into your Document Library the PowerPoint presentation where the scales untip just once to really get the idea across)

Virtua Cop ~ Justice Shots

---

Check for Understanding: In the Virtua Cop 2 play through below: 

Virtua Cop 2 - Arcade Playthrough

1. How many gangsters were killed before the first justice shot?
2. Count how many justice shots there are in the 1st mission because it is not displayed at the end of the scene

Disadvantages of Conglomerates ...

Conglomerates are bad!

The main (and key) disadvantage is that it is very difficult to track where all the $$$ is going!

I myself am not a fan at all of this business structure - Korean chaebols abound with stories of dirty $$$ and of course ~ who could forget:

The Trump Organisation ~

And there could be something for Microsoft to think about there - perhaps focusing on software rather than skewing out too much into other not so synergous areas - e.g. hosting, hardware etc ...

University Courses ... a Career Perspective

If you're thinking of taking on a new career - be it your first or you are changing careers - 

here's a new way to look at University Courses, make sure you know what you are getting yourself in for!

Traditional University Courses in particular Medicine & Law get you to learn ALL the text books:

• Law - there are Lecturers whom still don't use slides / textbooks etc ... make you transcribe all their lectures by hand - 
• Medicine is similar -the only prop you have is the patient! 
• In Pharmacy - the drug dispensary, Dentistry is similar
  

• And the list goes on ... 

So worth it if you are questioning the commitment / study skills / ability etc ... you have - may be more worthwhile to look at other courses around which these days may be Private or at the very least, partially Private.

 

 

Primary Texts vs Secondary, Tertiary Texts etc ...

Just a tip, I've found - rather than diving directly into Primary Texts (NB: Primary Texts NOT Primary Sources) such as:

• Religious Texts e.g.
• Bible
• Quran
• etc ...
• University Textbooks 
• etc ...

Which are all generally very hard to read (and therefore understand);
 

Look to digesting Secondary Texts such as web sites, books written by 3rd party authors etc ... you will find this much more relevant to your everyday life!

Integrate the A-League around the Asian Champions League

No point having a small and (relatively) insignificant league - at least on a Global stage standing alone - the future of the A-League (or Australia - New Zealand league) is in Asia and the Asian Champions League!

To this aim the A-League (or Australia - New Zealand league) should try and centre itself around the windows for when the Asian Champions League is in session.

Better examples of 'ECONOMIC GOODS' !!

The power of Re-selling ...

Microsoft has certainly done a great job, obviously they re-sell software themselves - but active re-sellers for their products is also very powerful, more so than End - Customers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month#Lowering_software_development_costs

One thing I would draw to your attention to is how they help their ecosystem Commodotise
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodification arguably the most available & common way of reducing cost without reducing quality!
So this applies to Microsoft Customers as well ... for instance in the way they are able to use Office (as a basic example) -
A big advantage over Oracle where it is harder and costs are borne almost entirely by the end - customer.

That is to say Commodification is key and should always be considered - whilst the Executive doesn't really re-sell - at this point in time however a big re-seller has not really been tapped - the Legislature of the Commonwealth Government through their ability to enact laws!

That is to say we all know at a high level the Commonwealth Legislature has the ability to reduce costs without compromising quality (perhaps even taking a different approach to Commodification) even if this is still relatively untapped!

Just a quick point on re-selling -
Commercial Dishwashers can clean cookware squeaky clean probably due to their volume - try that in a home dishwasher!
