5 ways to foster innovation  I was working as a communication officer for a large telecommunications company. We had a lot of customer complaints, and I was tasked with finding ways to improve our customer service. I started by surveying our customers to find out what they were unhappy about.

I decided to create a chat bot that could answer customer questions and resolve simple issues. The chat bot would be available 24/7, so customers wouldn't have to wait on hold.

The number of customer complaints dropped by 50%, and our customer satisfaction scores went up by 20%. The chat bot w...

I remember when I was working as a sales representative, we used to have a compulsory meetings on Mondays. One of the criteria to attend the meeting is that, you must have a to-do list for the week. A To-do list helps you focus on the goals for the week through daily task. This really helped me in  planning my week and meeting up target. Setting goals is necessary if you want to succeed. Without goals, you lack direction and focus. Setting goals gives you the power to decide the course of your life and gives you a standard by which you judge, to know if you are actually succeeding. Like the saying goes "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". However, you must be able to create goals if you want to achieve them. Simply saying "I want" will not make it become reality. Setting go...
