Give.org is the web site for the BBB Wise Giving Alliance. \n\nThe BBB Wise Giving Alliance (the Alliance) helps donors make informed giving decisions and advances high standards of conduct among organizations that solicit contributions from the public. The Alliance was formed in 2001 through the merger of the National Charities Information Bureau with the Council of Better Business Bureaus’ Foundation (which housed the Philanthropic Advisory Service.) The merger partners offer over a century of combined experience in charity evaluation. The Alliance produces in-depth evaluative reports on national charities based on comprehensive Standards for Charity Accountability and publishes a quarterly magazine, the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Guide. National charities that meet the standards can apply to participate in the Alliance’s National Charity Seal program.

it depends on what you mean by "efficient"\n\nin general, markets do seem to move in a "random walk" and seem so efficient it's hard to outperform them.\n\nthere are statistics that say 75%+ of fund managers FAIL to outperform the market.... that is, most managers do LESS than the "average"(market)\n\nalthough some do much better.  oh well.

review your processes and technology.  business within a company normally follows some sort of flow (hopefully!).  i have used a flow diagram to get a sense of how things are happening.  most times you will need to interview employees to hear directly how they are doing their jobs (sometimes what you think might be happening isn't)\n\nafter you've done the audit, you can often times spot redundancies or inefficientcies.  this can apply to all parts of your business - from personnel workflow, to technology to...  absolutely anything that is part of a process.

Effective meetings are those which are, well, effective.  The meeting serves its purpose.  So there are two important things to keep in mind here.\n\n1) You need to know what the purpose of the meeting is.  And you should make that clear to everyone else involved in the meeting as well.  There should be an agenda listing the specific things that need to be discussed, the order in which they need to be discussed, and the amount of time allotted to the discussion of each item (if needed).\n\n2) Keep the meeting focused on that purpose.  When people start to wander off topic, draw them back.  You can do this politely, but you need to be firm.  After all, the point of the meeting is to get something accomplished, and that won't happen if people are losing their focus.\n\nThese are the two most important elements of handling a meeting effectively.  And those involved will appreciate your efforts.
