68% of Printers move into Cross-Media Services

"Just" printing is already and will be even more very difficult. Integrating of pre-press and post-press into the basic Print Process has long been recognized by many Printers. However now, in the multimedia age all gets a totally new meaning. The key word is "cross-media". Printers no longer offer “just” Print; additionally they are generating and programming websites etc. May be in very short time App-programming or the production of moving image sequences are becoming part of Printer’s Services. But to what extent are such cross-media services offered already today? Well, in the Print-Drupa Nation Germany it looks (following a small rough Research by DD) as if 68% of Printers offer Cross-Media and 32% of Printers see themselves just as being still a “real” Printer. For more pls. contact us at [email protected] and also for Support which may be needed…………….

Print, IPEX 2014, Digital Media, Cross Media

It is presently not known how it is going on with Ipex 2014. Peter Hall (Managing Director of Informa Exhibitions, the organizers) declared after the cancellation of Canon only: "Ipex was for more than 100 years an integral part of the printing industry. This is why we do not want to damage the credibility of the brand." We will now discuss and consider with all stakeholders of IPEX 2014 with what ideas, insights and solutions support for today's printing and print media entrepreneurs can be strengthened and how Print Media (as part of) the marketing mix can be supported. Following those talks, the organizer will make a statement on the future and orientation of Ipex as a Print and Print Media Exhibition. After Agfa, Xerox, Kodak, HP, Heidelberg, KBA, ManRoland Sheetfed and Landa, have been announcing their cancellations in recent months, IPEX decided in January to shorten the Show by four days to six days only and to reorient the Show’s content. By doing so, the purely Print-Oriented Event will be moved into the direction of a Cross-Media Event. Please read more on www.illertproject.com under “NEWS”. Your Read will be highly interesting for you……….

Coaching, e.g. for AEC Success

There is no Secret. AEC is coming and AEC has to be taken care for before it arrives and that is now. This is one more reason why we at Illert Project Bangkok Ltd. (IPB) have been dedicating not less than 10 of our weekly NEWS to exactly that Topic, AEC. Each of those 10 NEWS is looking into the AEC Challenge from a different perspective. Yet each perspective is of great importance by its own. There needs to be a way how to deal with all items so that your Company is ready for AEC when the AEC arrives and opens its doors. The way to win the Challenge may well be entering a Coaching Activity. But what is Coaching? Pls read more in this week’s DIGEST which you find on www.illertproject.com under “NEWS”. You also can enjoy reading one or all of our 10 NEWS on AEC which are given below. Write us to get your copy for free on-line………

Implementation is 20 times more difficult! How to implement?

The Implementation of any idea, strategy or plan you have in mind or you have developed is always very difficult. In fact 20 times more difficult as setting up the idea, strategy or plan itself. This is what US-Research found out and this is why bright ideas, strategies or plans are often never implemented, early abandoned or stopped altogether because of Company internal resistance. As a result Companies do not reap the benefits they could get e.g. a Productivity Increase of 30% or a Sales Increase because of a new Marketing Strategy etc. Often such opportunities do not materialize although they are well planned. What we understand is, the critical factor of all ideas, strategies or plans is Implementation. Please read more on this subject in our NEWS-DIGEST which you find at www.illertproject.com under “NEWS”. Have a good day and good reading. ……………….

Secretary Training, up to the Level you require !
Illert Project is offering a full-scale Solution

Many Experts say the Effectiveness of Company Ownership or Company Management depends very much on the Effectiveness of the Secretary. If so, we have a problem as there is no Secretary Education or Secretary Training available. However the tasks, obligations and responsibilities a Secretary is involved in are comprehensive and complex. When talking and being engaged with our IPB tasks at Company sites we easily can see and hear, Secretaries are very much missing the Chance to improve for the benefit of their Boss and the Company’s benefit. Tremendous Secretarial Potential remains un-awakened, thus hindering the Effectiveness of the Company and additionally the Boss her/himself does not get the relaxation she/he needs to fulfill her/his job best.

At IPB we therefore decided to offer two Secretarial Training Courses to help increase Management Support through Professional Secretaries now, consequently and directly. We want to help re-shape the Effectiveness and the Image of Secretarial Professionalism. And those are our two Courses (Secretary Basics – 1 and Secretary Advanced - 2), both are on offer starting at once (schedule below):

How to Generate Competitive Advantage in AEC ?

Target Marketing + Product Mix are Key
Actually Productivity and resulting Cost-Efficiency are the real Keys for Competitive Advantage in AEC. The question however is, where does such „Productivity“ come from? In our recent NEWS we have been discussing a lot about Labor-Productivity, Machine Productivity, Business Process Productivity, Total Company Productivity (which is the most unknown one). All of them are most important but still there is the Market and the Product Mix which are crucial elements to achieve high level Productivity. In our newest NEWS which you are invited to read on our website www.illertproject.com under “NEWS” we inform about the core of competitive advantage which is differentiation, being different. Differentiation often is a result of optimal Product Mix and beneficial focus on well established Target Markets. We hope you enjoy reading this week’s NEWS …….

Watch Your Equipment !

Electronic Media are step by step eating up Printer’s Market Share and everyone knows, Print as a one stop product is slowly substituted by a Multi-Media Service Platform. In some time to come, Printers will even choose to become Communication Providers. Also, Printers (Packaging Companies less, but as well) are struggling on price, quality and delivery issues. And this being the case, we also have to acknowledge the AEC-Market, similar as a Free Trade Zone, has not even arrived yet. Still the AEC will change the Printing Landscape tremendously as AEC not only offers New Opportunities but parallel New Threats. Printers from other AEC-Countries will enter Thailand to sell their One Stop Print Product on very competitive prices.

New Year 2556 (2013), let’s call it: The “Added Value Year”

Until now Companies have been established mainly by taking advantage of economic opportunities and by being in the right place at the right time. Having some basic money, contacts, a labor force and transportation formerly used to be major advantages as normal people did not have adequate education, related contacts and opportunity to engage in business. This all has changed. In today's World “just showing up” definitely is not enough anymore. Whether your Company wants to provide manufactured products or sophisticated services, any Firm must have some distinctive feature or advantage to be better as competitors. This is important as the barriers to enter the Marketplace anywhere in the world have become much, much lower as they used to be. The tool to implement is Added Value. Pls read more on our website under NEWS – Digest column.

Productivity Increase, how can it be done ?

Increasing of Productivity is one of the most critical goals in Business. Unfortunately, it’s a fact seldom accepted. Knowledge about “how to increase productivity” is fairly limited and training tools are often chosen via the lowest-cost provider with minimal consideration about which provider would actually be the most effective. Management (in most cases) is more concerned with executing day to day transactions instead of productivity solutions. But no question, Increasing Productivity means Staff are increasing their efficiency. Productivity can increase on various platforms, but one issue is always true: Productivity Increase must be wanted. Productivity Increase “never” happens by itself ! Pls get more information from our website under NEWS – Digest column.

Implementation of new Opportunities

No doubt we are living in a changing world. One needs to think about the Minimum Wage rise, the upcoming AEC-Markets offering big Opportunities but also big Threats, the Euro Crisis, the Japanese Economy, the risks of the US-Fiscal Cliff, the Arab Spring etc. To steer through all those occurrences Companies have to implement New Ideas, New Procedures, New Processes to win the Opportunities embedded in those Occurrences. Change is required. But what Change? And how to “implement”? Until recently Staff has been trained to do one job, one task or one activity. Mostly the job even has been and still is the Staff’s “career”. However all of this has changed in our global-village-world which is short of time and even shorter of talent. In our today’s reality jobs and responsibilities are changing as fast as a Company moves up or down. Until recently Staff was quite well trained as jobs and responsibilities were clear. But today it is far more about learning and its continual process. To master “Change” Staff has to be able to learn continuously which has a lot to do with:

• The accelerating Rate of Change in Markets, Products, Competition and Costs
• The resulting Organizational Adaptation and Transformation which is required and the
• Mismatch Between Education + the Business Needs leading to new Change approaches
