Building a New City from Creating Jobs

Business News / By

Raynuha Sinnathamby, the Managing Director of Springfield City Group, aspires to create a new city by striving to reach their ambitious goal of producing at least 50,000 jobs for the area despite Greater Springfield only having 40,000 residents. The Springfield City Group is responsible for the master development of the Springfield Area, and Sinnathamby shares her journey on how she achieved success in her career.

According to Sinnathamby, it was learning from her failure that drove her career forward. “Certainly, we’ve had so many challenges and obstacles with our own project, we became so used to people in our project saying ‘no you can’t do this’ it was almost a standard line that everyone used…But it became our standard line to say back, ‘it’s only a no until it becomes a yes’. I think failure makes us more resilient as people and gives us the ability to support others as well as cope within ourselves,” she shared while discussing her experiences in working on the project.

What Your Competitors Can Teach You About Outsourcing

Offshoring in the Philippines, Outsourcing in the Philippines / By

An old adage tells us that experience is the best teacher, but that’s only half true–I think other people’s experiences can be better teachers, especially in outsourcing. Instead of treating “rival” companies as arch enemies, you must take what your competitors can teach you as a learning opportunity. Take for example when it comes to digital marketing, instead of burning through your savings by trying out different marketing styles with trial and error, eliminate options that your competitors have already tested and failed in. Now, don’t take it as me saying “just copy everyone else’s homework!” There is a fine line between inspiration and plagiarism, and that’s what this article is going to be about.  …
