ZBLOP - The Antidote for Shortsighted Planning
Article Abstract:
Z-BLOP is an acronym for Zero Based Long-Term Organizational Planning. As a concept it is developed from Zero Based Budgeting and works in a similar manner but in a non-numerical sense. Z-BLOP forces each area of a company to evaluate itself in terms of having to start all over; or what is the best way to do what we are supposed to be doing. In an overall sense this kind of planning helps avoid panic when a crisis occurs.

Planning shouldn't be amiss
Article Abstract:
The ability to be organized reduces the stress associated with being a victim of pickpocketing. Stolen wallet containing identification and credit cards should be reported immediately to the police and to credit card companies to avoid any liability for charges made after the incident. Maintaining a list of all credit-card numbers and other pertinent documents at home also helps in lessening the effects of theft.
