Day 2 - August 28 -Today we are trying to focus on elements of time, customers, and flex grid type applications. -Telling the story adds validation and may be more important than just a list of numbers. If you have the back-up story, that gives validity to your numbers and your flow. The story is SO important. -Cause and effect - perpetuation, cascading effects, etc. -Systems: everything affects/effects everything else. Interconnectedness, how characters interact, play and associate with each other. -You want to categorize and detail things out so that you can know where money is coming and going from your P&L - so much better to have that on the invoicing side - because that shows such greater details. And you don't want to double play/book, you don't want to show the same things from invoices and deposits on your P&L - so defer those to invoices if possible b/c there is much greater detail. And it cuts down your time on the deposit side, so you don't have to try to detail it all out there - it is already on the invoice side, yeah, happy day! Law of Deference - deferring to the player that can hold the most detail &/or be the most effective for your business processes. -With interest that accrues - a good way to go might be to just make another quick invoice with interest expenses - it would be good to have that as an "item" if that happens often in your business. -Good teaching view when Brandon made the invoice really tiny and circled to show what part was the main, the line items and the payments... that was helpful, b/c not everyone knows that. -Tell the whole story... adilas and you are documenting everything going on... tell the story with all the details. -System history - pretty cool stuff! -Good read: "Who Moved My Cheese?" **We should do a little adilas overview - like some of the things Brandon was talking about how things are changing SO much and how we need to change along with that and how adilas has. I think it is really instructive to discuss some of the history and some of the tradition that holds things back or causes some tensions, etc., etc..... **Another really good description/instruction with the discussion of the more rigid traditional accounting idea w/adjustments, etc. vs. objects and data over time, with checkpoints/doors, holding places, advancing things letting it flex, pulling it back in - allows for time to occur as it does with this model. It would be great to get some graphical representations of these. -Tell the story, that is what everyone wants/needs and it is meant to do. ****WHOA! I feel like I have this realization every time I am in a training that adilas has SO much more potential than I even realize, than anyone in these trainings even realize! **Amazing potential with eCommerce and web presence... that you could expose whatever you wanted them to see if you have adilas customize it. That is amazing, so you could have them schedule themselves online, then you could prep inventory if you needed, or you could have them satisfy their own accounts online and pay their payments, etc. Such an incredible asset! Allows you to make smart money decisions, time decisions, and a predictive approach to your inventory and so forth. A good example here is mom's herb business and being able to see what people want and then you can make sure to have it when it comes. Super sweet stuff! ***You dream it up, adilas wires it up! ***"Dream it up, we'll wire it up!" -There is NO business that won't love and eat up that model!!! Huge, huge, huge!!! -On the tick list - to get a generated email or confirmation order, etc. Adilas is trying to shift to a just in time model as well, allowing their clients/customers to pay for the future development. **Adilas World - a mall for professionals - SO cool, what a great asset for customers and for professionals on adilas world. Already in concept - super cool stuff on the way. **"What doesn't adilas do?" ***IDEA: Adilas needs to become a just in time venue as well - just in time development as people are paying for that development and so forth, etc. **You can skin adilas not only just with a fun or custom interface but you can cut out all the unnecessary steps and speed up the process super-fast - linking it straight to your pieces with no problem. **Incredibly powerful engine with adilas - now custom look, feel and flow! Neat! -Cool little teaser interface - with the school data tracking --- API: Application Programming Interface -Flex grid - a front end programmer/user created database - wow, powerful! *We all loved the little school interface - I think it is so powerful, even though a lot of us can imagine how you could have different interfaces, it is SO powerful to see it! And it is so fun to explore, or see where some of the little "buttons" go, and to see how fast and efficient it is for their uses. -If you want to record the data, you can record the data. You can copy and paste full emails into the log notes, you can put what you want in there. -What is your goal? What are you trying/wanting to accomplish? These are critical questions to answer to help direct your flow, setup, etc. ***IDEA: from Tanya, maybe create a flow chart or rubric of sorts to help ascertain what a client needs. Maybe it's too dynamic to have a chart but maybe you could come up with something generic to help reps/consultants ask the right questions to help them get the best use out of adilas. Or really it could even be accessible to users, then they can self-assess what they want and then maybe have a direction to head - education/training. *Future: giving users the ability to be their own front end programmers. In-line customer work - future development. -Adilas is currently a bare bones model - which is great because that means you can dress it up basically any way you want. Powered by the adilas engine you can dress it up as you like it. -Can skin eCommerce with one of just a couple easy pages - skin it on the top side however you want to present it. Big giant buttons, easy, appealing interface, so many cool things. WOW! *Adilas has all of the data and lots of power - do you want it to look pretty & custom? Great - get a designer. Get a developer, get things how you want them. -Just like with other things - people don't know, what they don't know - adilas. There is SO much that is possible! UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES!!! -Web people will understand how to pass data and variables to different places. -"Never let a crisis go to waste" – was said satirically today in reference to a quote from the past, but that truly is a valuable point. We hopefully don't let crises go to waste in our life - hopefully we change or adapt or flex or jump, shift whatever, so we don't get squished, so that we are better prepared for the future. Sometimes we try to do all we can to avoid a crisis in our life but they are a powerful means of change and can be positive in so many ways if we respond. Like Pres. Uchtdorf says that it is not our adversity but how we respond to it that creates our story or our destiny. |
