Leaders Of The Pack: Women And The Future Of Veterinary Medicine, Julie Kumble, Donald Smith
Leaders Of The Pack: Women And The Future Of Veterinary Medicine, Julie Kumble, Donald Smith
New Directions in the Human-Animal Bond
Veterinary medicine has undergone sweeping changes in the last few decades. Women now account for 55 percent of the active veterinarians in the field, and nearly 80 percent of veterinary students are women. However, average salaries have dropped as this shift has occurred, and even with women in the vast majority, only 25 percent of leadership roles are held by women. These trends point to gender-based inequality that veterinary medicine, a profession that tilts so heavily toward women, is struggling to address. How will the profession respond? What will this mean for our students and schools? What will it mean …

Look For Problems And Find Opportunities: Lean In Your Library, Jeanne R. Davidson, Mary Kraljic
Library Conference Presentations and Posters
Lean organizations actively seek out waste (time, energy and resources) and inefficiencies in order to maximize value for customers. Every problem acknowledged is an opportunity to improve something for your patrons. Several years ago, South Dakota State University began implementing Lean across campus. Staff at Briggs Library are using Lean principles to improve library processes, both large and small. As part of the library’s strategic plan, every department is responsible for at least two Lean projects per year.

Call Center Benchmarking: How Good Is, Jon Anton, David Gustin
Call Center Benchmarking: How Good Is, Jon Anton, David Gustin
Purdue University Press Books
Executives are beginning to recognize the potential of the call center as a significant revenue generator, perhaps one of the surest investments they can make in enhancing and creating customer value and bottom-line profits. Return on investments made in customer accessibility is seldom less than 100% in the first year, and frequently even more if customer lifetime value is included in the equation. Herein lies the challenge and the primary reason to benchmark your call center metrics against not only the best-in-the-world, but also your most direct competitors, i.e., best-in-class.
