LOS ANGELES, CA, March 19, 2013 (Press-News.org) The Institute for Management Studies (IMS), a leading organization in executive leadership and management development, will be holding a full-day seminar titled "Achieving Extraordinary Results: Models for Innovative Thinking" on Tuesday, April 9th, in Los Angeles, California. The seminar will take place at The Double Tree Hotel, 120 S Los Angeles Street, starting at 9:00 AM.
IMS may be a familiar name in executive management seminars. Four weeks prior, on March 7th, they held a seminar on "communications". Successful organizations operate on the edge of chaos and embrace risk, error, and ambiguity, while practicing strategies that reduce the need for doing, undoing, and redoing. On April 9th you will learn key strategies and practical tools to give you the adaptive capacity to work creatively with change and uncertainty. We will discuss strategies for tapping the human potential for creative thinking, from the inception of ideas to their transformation into practical business strategies and innovations.
Speaking at the "Achieving Extraordinary Results" seminar will be Dr. Iris Firstenberg. Dr. Firstenberg is an Adjunct Professor of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles and Adjunct Professor of Management at the UCLA Anderson School. She teaches courses on problem solving, decision making, and innovative thinking in both the psychology department and MBA programs. In UCLA Anderson Executive Education programs, Dr. Firstenberg has taught for many years and is consistently one of the most highly rated instructors.
Registration for this and future IMS sessions is limited to sponsoring organizations. To learn more about the "Achieving Extraordinary Results" seminar or to see if your organization is eligible for registration, visit the Institute for Management Studies Website at: http://www.imsla.net

Anti-Job Poaching Pacts in Ohio: What Do They Mean for Growing Ohio Businesses Seeking Public Tax Incentives? Ohio Tax Attorney, Dan Borsky, of EAG, LLC Explains
2013-03-19
In 2012, Anti-Job Poaching Pacts in Ohio garnered much attention. As of January 2013, 58 communities in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County signed a "no job poaching" pact. In the Columbus metro area, 14 communities did the same. However, some communities such as Upper Arlington and Dublin in Central Ohio and Middleburg Heights around Cleveland rejected or have held out signing an agreement. Some challenged whether they are legally binding. Does this mean an unraveling of anti-job poaching pacts? Unfortunately, whether formal agreements proliferate or not, the new reality ...

With tax season at its height, it can be very tempting for individuals filing their returns or even professional tax preparers to fudge the numbers a bit for a better refund.

What Is An OTR Decision?
2013-03-19
A person who can no longer work due to injury or illness may apply to the Social Security Administration for disability benefits. The application process, however, is often unsuccessful in the early stages. Nearly two-thirds of applications are rejected initially. This does not mean the quest for benefits is over, but it does mean that many people must appeal in order to obtain the Social Security Disability benefits they need. For some applicants, an on-the-record decision, or OTR, is a worthwhile option during the appeals process.
