This article will address the generic systems engineering process, and then discuss how this can be applied when developing complex insurance plans to mitigate risk. It will be worth looking at a my previously published articles that address the specifics of buy-sell agreements, business overhead insurance, and cash value insurance vs. term insurance for additional background on product complexities that can easily occur during the planning and implementation process. The goal of this article is not to provide an exhaustive dissertation on systems engineering; rather, it’s simply designed to give the reader a sufficient, high-level understanding of the generic process, and how it can be applied to developing risk management and insurance plans.What is Systems Engineering?INCOSE defines systems engineering as “an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful systems. It focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem.” The term “system” is important here: systems engineers typically define systems as an interactive collection of different elements that provide a capability that the individual elements alone cannot provide. The parts not only include the physical system, but also the people that use the system, the beneficiaries of the system (these can be different, for example a passenger aircraft is used by pilots and benefits the passengers), policies, documentation, and anything else needed to produce and operate the system.A consensus approach of the INCOSE Fellows provides the following iterative approach to systems engineering that goes by the acronym SIMILAR. The functions that comprise the acronym are: State, Investigate, Model, Integrate, Launch, Assess and Re-evaluate. I briefly define each one in the next section, and provide examples of how this approach is very useful in developing a successful RMIP system for clients.What is SIMILAR and How Can It Be Applied to RMIP?As listed in the previous paragraph, SIMILAR is an acronym for State, Investigate, Model, Integrate, Launch, Assess and Re-evaluate. Let’s define each one and see how we can apply this to RMIP.State: This refers to “state the problem.” In an engineering environment, we are looking for a technical solution to a systems problem, in other words, a pain point. In RMIP, we must do exactly the same thing. This problem could be a simple as “provide an estate to a decedent’s survivors,” a basic life insurance problem, to something more complex, as, provide a mechanism for protecting the financial interests of business partners in the event of the premature death of one of them to protect a business’ viability in the event the primary income generator for the business, such as an independent physician or dentist, is disabled.Investigate: This refers to “investigate alternatives.” Systems engineers will provide different solution alternatives that attempt to optimize the design based on cost, schedule, risk, and complexity. This same process is used at looking at RMIP alternatives: For example, with life insurance, we can show term products; cash value products, and hybrid solutions, as well as rider alternatives. We can look at disability products in terms of benefits vs. cost; different products form different companies, and riders.Model: Modeling refers to “model the system.” In the context of a system, modeling will refer to diagrams of different alternatives, computer simulations, mathematical modeling, and workflow diagrams, as examples. We can also apply modeling techniques to the RMIP problem: each alternative comes with a model that shows how each insurance solution will work, the different components of the solution, costs, timeframes, rates of return, and the risk of doing nothing, or what I refer to as the null solution. For example, with buy-sell agreements, we can model a cross-purchase agreement and stock redemption agreement as alternative solutions tailored to a specific company’s circumstances.Integrate: In systems engineering, many, if not all systems, are really “systems of systems.” That is, the components of the system each have an engineering solution, and then those components must be integrated to provide a capability (or capabilities) that the individual systems alone cannot provide. With RMIP, it is necessary to integrate the risk management solution into an entire financial system for the client that accounts for existing insurance, investments and savings, annuities, and hybridization of insurance products. By doing this, we can create a solution that each product alone cannot provide at the best possible cost, complexity, and risk constraints desired by the client.Launch: This is the process of implementing the desired solution. With a system, we select the best solution based on the client’s requirements and constraints, build the system, validate it, deliver it, and operating it. This is an iterative process, and the system is likely to evolve as the end users better understand it and make recommendations, processes are updated, technology evolves, and market conditions change. Similarly, the RMIP solution is constructed, validated with the client the desired requirements are met, and, finally, implemented.Assess: Assessment is defining and collecting performance metrics. With a system, these may include system performance (speed, accuracy), system problems or trouble tickets, user satisfaction, increased output, or anything else important to the organization. In engineering, it is generally assumed that if you can’t measure it, you can’t control it. With RMIP, we can measure product performance, especially with cash value insurance products, such as internal rates of return, costs, and dividends. What may be harder to measure is the peace-of-mind clients receive by mitigating financial risk to themselves, their families, and their businesses. This may boil down to a simple thing like, “Do you sleep better not worrying about a financial catastrophe?” This is a qualitative rather quantitative metric, but very useful in determining if the insurance solution is meeting a client’s requirements.Re-evaluate: Re-evaluation is building feedback mechanisms from the assessments to modify the system to changing needs. INCOSE posits that this may be the most important function in the systems engineering process. With RMIP, I accomplish this by maintaining a regular and open line of communication with clients to assess changing circumstances that may offer new risk mitigation solutions, or upgrade the solutions already in place. The feedback look takes you back to the beginning of the SIMILAR process, which is iterated as part of a continuous improvement program.ConclusionsSystems engineering is well suited for solving risk management and insurance planning problems for clients. All of the mechanisms and processes used to develop complex engineering solutions, whether it developing and software solution for a business to improve operations and gain an edge over the competition, to designing and building spacecraft to explore the planets or carry people into space, can be used to design optimal insurance solutions for clients that eliminate pain points in their lives and businesses. In this article, I presented an accepted systems engineering approach used to craft systems and repurposed it for developing RMIP solutions for clients. If you’re in the insurance, or more broadly, financial services business, the SIMILAR approach can really help you craft the best solutions for your clients. If you’re a potential or existing client, using the approach in assessing you own needs will go a long way in helping you better articulate your pain points and requirements to give your planner or agent so he or she can develop an optimal risk mitigation solution for your needs. </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://btudaln.info/applying-systems-engineering-methods-to-risk-management-and-insurance-planning/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Resume References Can Make You Or Break You!</title> <link>https://btudaln.info/resume-references-can-make-you-or-break-you/</link> <comments>https://btudaln.info/resume-references-can-make-you-or-break-you/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 05 May 2023 10:39:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[american education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dp education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[education american]]></category> <category><![CDATA[education reform]]></category> <category><![CDATA[education system]]></category> <category><![CDATA[educational]]></category> <category><![CDATA[educational video for kids]]></category> <category><![CDATA[educational videos for kids]]></category> <category><![CDATA[motion education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[public education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[samurai education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sex education]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://btudaln.info/?p=58</guid> <description><![CDATA[Excellent References are Important In these tough economic times, employers are seeking ways to cut their risks.

Right now as a job applicant you represent a potential risk to them. They could hire you and spend time and money training you only to find out that you are either unable to do the job well or have a fatal character flaw that interferes with your job performance. An employer needs to know that you are who you say you are. An effective way to accomplish that is through utilizing your references.Consider this: You are one of two hundred people that are applying to an employer with one job opening. The employer has specified exactly the skills, experience, and education that they are looking for. They do not have time to interview all two hundred people, so they start to review who meets all the requirements needed to perform the job.Out of two hundred people, twenty of those people meet all the employers’ requirements of skill, experience, and education. Because you filled out your application well and submitted a resume targeting how you meet the specific skills and experience requirements of the job, you are one of the twenty in the pool of candidates being considered. You have the same types of skills, experience, and education as the other 19 candidates.Now that the employer has narrowed down the pool to 20 people, they start the interview process. You interview well, have sent a thank you note for the interview, and have been asked to return for a second interview. The employer has narrowed the pool of candidates down to 4 people; 3 other people are coming in for a second interview as well. What is going to set you apart from the other 3 people?The answer is your excellent references! So choose well who you use for a reference; that person can make or break your job search efforts!

The cliché has it that the college experience is all parties, midday wake-up calls and missed tutorials. But the truth is that students spend countless hours worrying over whether their application for a student loan with bad credit will be approved.For many students, financial woes play a bigger part in everyday life at university than studies, since it is only by securing loan approval that they can actually pay the school and graduate to start on their career.But how can a student loan be secured in the first place? And is bad credit the killer of applications that we are led to believe? There is a variety of financial options to choose from, but there are just as many factors that should be considered before submitting an application.Loan Options to Choose FromTraditional lenders are not the only source of student loans with bad credit. In fact, with public and private lending options to choose from, funding specifically to finance a college degree is quite accessible. The advantages and disadvantages of a loan depends on which lender granted it.For example, a public lender usually means the federal government, from which student loans are available at the lowest interest rates. Government is happy enough to foot the bill for college-goers because of their importance to the future of the local and national economies. However, securing loan approval provides key advantages to the borrower too.On the other hand, student loans secured from private lenders have terms that vary quite dramatically, principally because each lender sets their conditions. Approval rates despite poor credit are quite high though, mainly due to the fact that many lenders view such loans as special financial packages.Publicly Sourced LoansArguably, the best source of college funds is through public loans. This is because they are designed to help students to meet monthly obligations or to handle financial difficulties. So, when seeking student loans with bad credit, the federal lender is not interested in the credit score at all. Also, low fixed interest rates are typically charged, and usually repayment schedules are on hold until after graduation.There are several loan programs available, but the two most common are the Stafford Loan and the Perkins Loan programs. Stafford loans are issued to students coming straight from high school, and effectively subsidize their tuition fees. Securing loan approval is not difficult if the applicant qualifies.The Perkins program, however, is designed to aid students that already find themselves in a tight financial situation. These student loans can be used to cover living expenses, and are not confined to tuition and college fees, as the Stafford loan is. Supply is limited so early application is generally advised.Privately Sourced LoansLoans from private lenders are more expensive than public or federal loans. This comes down to the fact that higher rates of interest are charged. When, applying for a student loan with poor credit, the terms will probably make it a bigger financial drain than needs be. However, a private loan is a sound option when public loans do not offer enough.It is worth noting, however, that most private lenders provide a period of grace that usually extends to graduation, before any repayments need to be made. The specific terms of this kind of concession is important to know, then securing loan approval can be looked forward to.What is more, when considering application for student loans, most private lenders will also ignore the credit score too. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://btudaln.info/student-loans-with-bad-credit-options-to-consider-before-applying/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Six Words to Describe Business Financing</title> <link>https://btudaln.info/six-words-to-describe-business-financing/</link> <comments>https://btudaln.info/six-words-to-describe-business-financing/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 04 May 2023 05:53:49 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[abc finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[alan kohler finance report]]></category> <category><![CDATA[basic finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[business and finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance basics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance books]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance comics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance degree]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance kya hai]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance major]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance meaning]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance news]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance report]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance stock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance update]]></category> <category><![CDATA[future of finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[kohler finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[learn finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[personal finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[public finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[study finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[types of finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[what is finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[yahoo finance]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://btudaln.info/?p=54</guid> <description><![CDATA[This report was produced in a direct effort to provide more understandable insights about some of the most critical business finance issues effecting commercial borrowers.

Our approach in this report is to describe current commercial loan circumstances in six words. We have adopted a similar model in other commercial finance reports such as “seven words to describe commercial property loans”. The “simpler is better” perspective reflects the belief that after hearing an almost endless number of reports about commercial lending difficulties, what small business owners might really need is a more concise explanation about these problems and the resulting impact on their business financing options.Before proceeding, it is important to emphasize that small business finance options are often more complicated than anticipated by many business borrowers. We are definitely not attempting to characterize business loans and working capital financing as either straightforward or simple. In fact, quite the opposite is the case. The unfortunate reality that most business financing processes have always been excessively complicated and that meaningful improvements are not on the way is one of our ongoing observations. We nevertheless feel that it is critical for each small business owner to have an absolute and total understanding of the entire commercial finance process in the face of the prevailing commercial lending complexity. To help in providing more understandable insights about commercial loans and business banking problems, this particular report is one of several thorough efforts on our part.Our first example of six words describing business financing options is “banks are saying no more often”. For any small business owner still unaware of this harsh reality and who might doubt this observation, a series of candid conversations with other business borrowers will probably remove all doubts. The failure of banks to provide an adequate level of business loans on a widespread basis is the primary point to remember. It is important for small businesses to realize that they are not alone when they hear their bank say no to routine requests for commercial financing.”Commercial property values have decreased dramatically” is a second observation. There are very few exceptions. The biggest business financing impact is likely to occur with commercial refinancing situations. Many banks are aggressively recalling existing commercial real estate loans and this literally forces a borrower to seek business refinancing even if a business owner has no interest in refinancing their commercial mortgage. With decreasing commercial real estate values, business refinancing will be a challenge for most small businesses.”Lines of credit are disappearing fast” is another six-word description of commercial financing. Even the most successful businesses need a reliable source of working capital financing, so this situation is especially serious if a business cannot replace bank financing when it suddenly disappears. Even if a business still has an adequate line of credit, it is important to realize that on a widespread basis banks are reducing and eliminating business credit lines with almost no advance notice.As our final observation in this report, “business financing is in intensive care”. Extreme measures such as firing their banker and finding alternative commercial funding sources will need to be anticipated by small business owners in many cases. Bankers have not been sufficiently candid about commercial lending problems in the past, and nobody should expect that they will publicly announce that they are in any kind of financial trouble. On the contrary, a prevailing outlook from most banks is they are lending normally to small businesses. When dealing with any commercial lender, commercial borrowers will need a healthy amount of skepticism.As we noted, this article is one of several efforts to help small business owners survive an extremely challenging commercial lending environment. This report was intentionally designed to produce a concise overview of several complex small business finance issues by describing commercial loan difficulties in six words. A better understanding of practical business financing options for commercial borrowers should also be realized by reviewing related reports such as “six words describing working capital management” and “seven words to describe merchant cash advances”. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://btudaln.info/six-words-to-describe-business-financing/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Using Technological Tools To Market Properties</title> <link>https://btudaln.info/using-technological-tools-to-market-properties/</link> <comments>https://btudaln.info/using-technological-tools-to-market-properties/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 07 Feb 2023 04:53:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[building]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Buying]]></category> <category><![CDATA[commercial]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Commercial Property]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Construction]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Home]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Home Staging]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Homes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Investing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Property Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Real Estate]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://btudaln.info/?p=48</guid> <description><![CDATA[In today’s information age, property agents need to find and use technology tools to sell a property.

Gone are the days where property agents just need to place ads in newspapers with plain text to snag a potential buyer.As the owners of the property get more internet savvy, more of them will be inclined to sell or rent on their own, without the need for property agents. Transaction data is readily available on the URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) web and tools such as Streetsine’s X-Value are also available to home owners. Even property portals who have been immensely loyal to property agents so far, are not immune to the fact that more home owners are DIY sellers as well. ST Property, the internet arm of SPH (Singapore Press Holdings) allows home owners to list their property for free, with add-ons such as featured listing also available to them for a small fee.It is definitely much tougher for agents at the moment with dwindling interest from buyers and plummeting transaction volumes. As the industry moves into the technological age, agents with the knowhow have a huge advantage over those who are still using traditional methods of marketing.The most common new-age marketing channel are websites. If you do a Google search for Singapore property today, you will be faced with a barrage of websites touting the latest project launches in Singapore. These are created and run by property agents. If you are not already on the bandwagon, I would suggest you not jump into it now as property websites rely solely on web traffic and getting them is becoming increasing competitive and expensive. Paying a few thousand dollars to SEO companies to increase pagerank and buying keywords using Google AdWords is not unheard of. It is not guaranteed that the huge investment will come with a huge payoff, unlike 2 or 3 years back where there wasn’t much competition.If not websites, what then? Agents have to be mindful of the fact that property still and remains strongly a people business. There are still many property owners still willing to pass the job of handling their property to professionals as long as there is value added service. Therefore a good balance of online and offline marketing should be the way to go.One suggestion is to use a virtual 360 tour to market your properties. By having this added weapon in your repertoire of marketing tools, a home owner can see that you can bring an extra element over the rest. A virtual 360 tour brings the potential buyer a walkthrough of the entire house, sort of a preview before the actual showing. This cuts out unnecessary time and effort to show the house at every opportunity, in the process saving the buyer’s time to view properties that are not suitable, the seller’s time to prepare the house for viewing and the agents time to travel back and forth for non potential buyers.Ask any home seller and they will tell you the worst thing about selling their house is the distress of showing the place. Plans get interrupted, privacy of their own home is violated and having to rush back to entertain home-shoppers at short notice is something they can do without. By offering this solution, the seller will be able to see that you are looking out for him by implementing a basic filtering of buyers.A virtual 360 tour has to be accompanied by a floor plan of the house and a write-up with detailed description and directions. Before arranging a viewing, direct any enquirer to the hosted page. Statistics have shown that 70% of buyers who have viewed an online virtual tour of the property before coming down for the actual viewing are more inclined to offer a price on the house. If you haven’t realized by now, the actual viewing is in fact a 2nd viewing of the property.Another technological tool to complement your Virtual 360 Tour is using QR Codes. QR codes can be printed on traditional print media to bring the prospect straight to the hosted page where your Virtual 360 Tour is. All the prospect has to do is take out his smartphone and snap a shot of the QR code with a QR code app and he will be re-directed to the website. You can publish your QR codes on flyers or your newspaper advertisements. The possibilities are endless.This article serves to help Real Estate Professionals gain an edge over the rest in a highly competitive market. All opinion is of the author only and does not guarantee that results will be the same for everyone. Property is essentially still a service and Real Estate Professionals will be wise to use any tools ON TOP of GOOD SERVICE they are providing to their clients. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://btudaln.info/using-technological-tools-to-market-properties/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
