What Does It Take To Shift To A Human-to-Human Way Of Doing Business?
I find myself interested and caring for the human. So the following slogan caught my attention: "There is no more b2b or b2c: It's human to human". This got me wondering: What does it take for us to show up and operate as 'human to human'?
If we are to do business in a 'human to human' way then it helps to have a good grasp of what the defining characteristic of human is. In Being and Time, Heidegger asserts that 'Care (Sorge) is the being of dasein'. For the purposes of this conversation dasein = human being. What does Heidegger mean by this? I take it to mean that I do not find myself indifferent: to myself and my experience of living, to the world in which I find myself in, to my fellow human beings. It matters (to me) how I live and how my life turns out. It matters (to me) how my fellow human beings live and how their lives turn out. And it matters (to me) how this world is and is not. I care as I am aware that I am being-in-the-world-with-others-towards death.
If we are going to show up and operate from a 'human to human' way of doing business then we must genuinely care for ourselves, the people we work with, the people we sell to, the people we buy from, the people whose lives are touched by us and our way of showing up and operating in the world. How best to illustrate this? Allow me to share a story the following story with you (bolding is my work):
Harry, an emergency physician …. One evening on his shift in a busy emergency room, a woman was brought in about to give birth…….. Harry was going to deliver this baby himself. He likes delivering babies, and he was pleased…… The baby was born almost immediately.
Whilst the little girl was still attached to her mother, Harry laid her along his left arm. Holding the back of her head in his left hand, he took a suction bulb in his right and began to clear her mouth and nose of mucus. Suddenly, the baby opened her eyes and looked directly at him. In that moment, Harry stepped past his technical role and realised a very simple thing: that he was the very first human being this baby girl had ever seen. He felt his heart to go out to her in welcome ….
Harry has delivered hundred of babies. He has always enjoyed the challenges of delivery, the excitement of making rapid decisions and feeling his own competency, but he says that he had never let himself experience the meaning of what he was doing before. He feels that in a certain sense this was the first baby he ever delivered. He's says that in the past he would have been so preoccupied with the technical aspects of delivery, assessing and responding to needs and dangers, the he doubts he would have noticed the baby open her eyes or have registered what her look meant. He would have been there as a physician but not as a human being. It was possible, now to be both…
-Rachel Naomi Remen, Kitchen Table Wisdom
This is what I notice about the whole Customer thing: the focus is almost exclusively on the technical stuff (metrics, data, analytics, technology, processes) and almost no recognition of the human. Does this matter? Yes. Why? I leave you with these words of wisdom:
Quality matters when quantity is an inadequate substitute. If a building contractors finds that her two-ton truck is on another job, she may easily substitute two on-ton trucks to carry the landfill. On the other hand if a three star chef is ill, no number of short-order cooks is an adequate replacement. One hundred mediocre singers are not the equal of one top-notch singer…
- Richard Rumelt, Good Strategy Bad Strategy
We may not be able to define-measure-calculate quality. Yet we are present to it when we experience it. The quality that you/i/we experience from the people we interact with, work with, sell to, buy from, makes a huge difference to our experience of living. This quality of caring cannot be faked, though many folks make the attempt to fake it.
Interestingly, in our age, it is easier to build this caring into the 'product' itself (Apple) or the digital interface (Amazon) than it is in human to human conversation-encounters. Why? Because we have become so wrapped up in the technical that we have lost touch with the human – including our own humanity. Yet, it is possible to get in touch with this humanity and give it expression: to show up as a CEO and as a human being; to show up as a CMO and as a human being; to show up as CFO and as a human being; a sales person and as a human being; to show up as call-centre agent and as a human being……
Please note: I am about to go on vacation and will be out of touch for several weeks. I wish you well and look forward to being in communication after the holiday.
Strategy and Customer-Centricity: Relax, It's OK To Be Just OK!
What Is The Achilles Heel of Strategy?
My colleague and I put our whole selves into our work talking with folks in the business, listening to customer conversations, reviewing research, looking at competitors and trends, looking at various approaches, evaluating these approaches and coming up with optimal course of action for our client and our client's customers.
To our delight the strategy was accepted-approved by management. A month or so later we got busy on implementation planning. It was during the implementation planning when hard decisions had to be made that the commitment to the digital strategy unravelled. Our clients got the value of pursuing the digital strategy and they found themselves in a particular situation which called forth and drove a different set of choice and actions.
This is the Achilles Heel of strategy, every executive finds himself in a particular situation. And every situation has its own 'logic' and a momentum. As such it really it takes something to alter course and make any significant headway. It takes resolve – fierce resolve, the kind of resolve that grabs you and keeps hold of you. It is not the kind of resolve that is created through the intellect.
Why Don't We Do What We Know We Should Do?
Have you wondered why your organisation sucks at being authentically customer-centric: practicing relationship marketing, client centred selling, pleasing customer service? Have you wondered why it is that your organisation sucks at calling forth the best from your people?
Now and then someone speaks and their speaking is wisdom. Today, I share with you the wisdom of David Maister as articulated in his great book 'Strategy and the Fat Smoker':
"In business, strategic plans are also stuffed with familiar goals: build client relationships, act like team players, and provide fulfilling motivating careers. We want the benefits of these things. We know what to do, we know why we should do it, and we know how to do it. Yet most businesses and individuals don't do what's good for them….
The primary reason we do not work at behaviours which we know we need to improve is that the rewards … are in the future; the disruption, discomfort and discipline needed to get their are immediate…..
Our default pattern and why it doesn't work
When it comes to improving performance at the individual, team or organisational level we tend to follow a self-defeating pattern. I have seen this pattern played out again and again over the last 10+ years as organisations have grappled with relationship marketing, CRM, customer experience, employee engagement, digital. Here's what David Maister says:
We start self-improvement programs with good intentions, but if they don't pay off immediately, or if a temptation to depart from the program arises, we abandon our efforts completely – until the next time we pretend to be on the program.
That's our pattern. Try a little, succumb to temptation, and give up. Repeat until totally frustrated. Unfortunately, there is rarely, if ever, a benefit from dabbling or trying only a little. You can't get half the benefits of a better marriage by cutting out half your affairs, cure half the problems of alcoholism by cutting out half the drinks or reduce the risks of lung cancer by cutting out half the cigarettes.
You can't achieve competitive differentiation through things you do "reasonably well most of the time." You not only cannot dabble, but you also cannot have short-term strategies ….. The pursuit of short-term goals is inherently anti-strategic and self-defeating.
You are either seriously on the program, really living what you have chosen, or you are wasting your time.
Why strategic analysis and listening to customers is not the answer
I worked in an organisation which expended considerably time-effort-cost in doing NPS quarterly. We had access to the voice of the customer. And the voice tended to speak the same tune quarter after quarter. Why? Because the people in the organisation were not willing to change behaviour in any significant way.
Is it possible that setting up VoC listening programs are a ruse? A way of saying to yourself and others that you are serious about improving the customer experience so that you hide your unwillingness to change your behaviour, the behaviour of your team, your organisation? What does David Maister say?
Improving the quality of the analysis is not where the problem lies. The necessary outcome of strategic planning is not analytical insight but resolve.
What are the essential questions of strategy?
If we know the why-what-how of employee engagement, meaningful customer relationships, and customer loyalty then what are the strategic question? Here's what David Maister says:
The essential questions of strategy are these:
[1] Which of our habits are we really prepared to change, permanently and forever?
[2] Which lifestyle changes are we really prepared to make?
[3] What issues are we really ready to tackle?
Now that's a different tone of conversation and discussion (and the reason that real debate is so often avoided).
What am I getting at here?
To come up with products that enrich the lives of customers requires resolve, analysis is insufficient. To create-deliver truly personalised-relevent marketing requires resolve, analysis and marketing technology are insufficient. To call forth the kind of service that generates gratitude from customers and makes them feel good about doing business with your organisation requires resolve, analysis-outsourcing-technology are insufficient. To orchestrate an end to end customer experience that calls forth customer loyalty requires formidable resolve, VoC and customer journey mapping are insufficient. Put different, dabbling won't do; it occurs to me that most are merely dabbling.
I say, it is worth listening to David Maister once more:
There is no shame in aiming for competence if you are unwilling to pay the price for excellence. But don't try to mislead clients, staff, colleagues or yourself with time-wasting, demoralising attempts to convince them that you are actually committed to pursuing the goal.
Relax, it's ok to be just ok
As I get present to the world of business as it is and as it is not, I get present to the following and contradicts all the evangelising about customer focus, customer service, customer experience, customer relationships and customer-centricity:
1. Almost all businesses are unexceptional. They provide ok products (that do the job well enough). They provide OK digital real estate (websites, social media, apps, mobile). They provide OK stores. They hire OK people. They provide OK customer service – whether in stores or via the call-centres. And they generate an OK end to end customer experience, by default. As a result they do OK – they survive and make OK profits.
2. It is only against this background of OKness that the exceptional can and does show up. It is because almost all banks and insurance companies are ok that USAA glow so brig and htly. It is because most digital retailers are OK that Amazon shines brightly. It is because most high street retailers are OK that John Lewis and Waitrose (part of the John Lewis Partnership) shine brightly. It is because most organisations provide OK customer service that Zappos and Zane's Cycles shine brightly.
Strategy: Forget The Customer and Focus on Purpose?
Is purpose the vital access to performance and the starting point of strategy?
What explains the variability in performance – revenues, profits, share prices – across firms who compete in the same industry? Why, for example, does IKEA do so well in the furniture industry when many other players struggle or have to accept modest performance? Is the answer that IKEA is customer-centric and the other players are not? Is it that IKEA delivers a superior customer experience?
Cynthia Montgomery in her book The Strategist explores this question and shares her answer. She says:
Purpose is where performance differences start. Nothing else is more important to the survival and success of a firm than why it exists, and what otherwise unmet needs it intends to fill. It is the first and most important a strategist must answer. Every concept of strategy …… flows from purpose.
Will any kind of purpose do the job? Is the purpose of making mountains of profit and enriching shareholders enough? Is the purpose of letting the lean folks loose so that all the processes can be streamlined and any joy, the comes with being social human beings, driven out of existence, enough? Is it enough to simply be great at interacting with customers at the touchpoints that matter? No, according to Cynthia Montgomery.
We hunger for purpose that lifts us up from the harshness and banality of the dog-eat-dog world of competition. And this includes the Tops:
Many of them want to feel that what they do matters in some context larger than themselves and larger even than their companies….
So is an inspiring, uplifting, purpose enough? Not according to Cynthia Montgomery. She says that purpose needs to do much more than inspire.
1. A good purpose ennobles
You and I are are spiritual beings manifested in physical form. Whether we like it or not, in our quiet moments, we find ourselves called to answer questions concerned with meaning. What is life about? What is my life about? Am I leading a meaningful life? Is this organisation and its mission worthy of me and all that I have to contribute?
In an age where 80% of employees are disengaged at work you can see the value of a noble purpose. A noble purpose inspires people in the organisation, it literally elevates and energizes. Talking of IKEA, Cynthia Montgomery says:
The people at IKEA don't believe they're flogging cheap furniture. They believe they're creating a "better everyday life" for the many people who can't afford top-end furnishings.
Cynthia goes on to say that we should not overlook the vital role of purpose in calling forth and fostering the care and commitment that lead people to play full-out and generate good results.
I say that a good purpose ennobles more than the people inside your organisation. I say that a good purpose ennobles customers, ennobles distribution partners, ennobles suppliers, ennobles the community in which your organisation operates.
2. A good purpose forces choice and puts a stake in the ground
A good purpose forces choice: to stand for one set of values and not others; to do X and not Y; to be this and not be that. Choosing is painful because it means letting go of some options. Choice is also critical because it enables focus. Here is what Cynthia says:
If your purpose does not preclude you from undertaking certain kinds of work, then it's not a good purpose. Purpose, like strategy, is about choice, and real choice contains …… both positive ("We do this") and negative )"By implication, then, we don't do something else") elements.
3. A good purpose sets you apart; it makes you distinct
A good purpose is not generic, it does not lead you to say "We are a training company" or "We are a telecommunications company" or "We are a marketing agency". A good purpose spells out the reasons for your existence, the people (customers) you have chosen to serve, the needs you have set out to meet, the contribution that you committed to making. It is in these specifics that the purpose comes alive. Cynthia shares how IKEA describes its difference:
From the beginning, IKEA has taken a different path ….. It's not difficult to manufacture expensive furniture. Just spend the money and let customers pay. To manufacture beautiful, durable furniture at low prices is not easy. It requires a different approach. Finding simple solutions, scrimping and saving in every direction. Except on ideas.
There is a lot of talk about innovation and how rare it is in larger organisations. Yet, IKEA continues to innovate. What does Cynthia say:
IKEA's experience illustrates a key advantage of a good purpose. A clear sense of what a company is striving to do can serve as a focal point or a core organising principle around which a whole set of innovations and distinctive features can coalesce.
4. A good purpose sets the stage for creating and capturing value
Whilst I can and do come across as an idealist, I am also a pragmatist. After all I qualified as a chartered accountant, as such I get the critical importance of profits and cash-flow. So does Cynthia, she writes:
Whatever your purpose, it must mean something to others in ways that produce good economic outcomes for you. What made IKEA's purpose so powerful was not just that it was distinctive or well-defined, or that it made people feel part of something bigger and more important. It also drove IKEA's superior performance in its industry.
The acid test, then of purpose is this: Will it give you a difference that matters in your industry? Not all differences are equal. You need a difference with real consequences….. Even a legitimate difference such as "best-in-class quality" is often rendered meaningless by companies that trumpet the words but don't make the investments or tough trade-offs such a goal requires.
And finally
If you are doing "Customer Experience" stuff ask yourself this question "This stuff that we are doing will this give us a difference that matters with our customers and in our industry?" I say that much of what is showing up under the Customer Experience banner fails this test. And I have been wrong many times before.
If you have any interest in strategy, purpose, and organisational effectiveness then I throughly recommend getting hold of a copy of Cynthia Montgomery's book The Strategist. It is both easy to read and it is a great read. I swear she is versed in existential philosophy as her book is imbued with existential tones: purpose, choice, courage, being and becoming….
Why Strategy Matters and How it Influences Culture
Does strategy matter?
If you do not think that it matters then you are in good company. There are many who question the value of strategy. And I see many companies where there is no formal strategy; the informal strategy is to keep doing what has worked in the past or to chase what is fashionable today.
Strategy v Execution
When it comes to questioning strategy there are two schools that are particularly prominent. First, there is the school of execution. The execution school which says that strategy is waste of time. Why? Because strategies are generic-obvious and what matters is execution. The ability to turn strategy into the daily live of the organisation. Clearly, there is some truth in this school. Strategy which cannot be operationalised is waste of time-resource.
Strategy v Culture
Then there is the school that says "culture eats strategy for breakfast". Yes, culture is powerful. Culture determines what gets done and how it gets done. A strategy that does not take into account the fit with culture will meet lots of resistance. Getting people to enact such a strategy will be like fighting a guerilla war with an enemy who is patient and cunning. What is forgotten is that culture can be and is influenced-shaped-shifted through strategy.
To see strategy and culture as being separate and distinct is a gross misunderstanding. This misunderstanding arises due to our reductionist-analytical thinking. Strategy and culture are interlinked. Put differently, if you change strategy, you will take actions that will influence the culture. And if you change culture it will eventually influence the strategy.
HBOS: strategy shapes culture and leads to downfall?
If you still have doubts over the importance/significance of strategy then I say let's consider the case of HBOS bank and the latest report on how this bank was brought to its knees. The HBOS bank was rescued, after significant arm twisting and sweeteners by the UK Govt, in 2008 by Lloyds bank. Why did a bank that was valued at £30bn when it was created in 2001 need to be rescued? Because it racked up £47bn of losses on bad loans.
Who were the architects of the HBOS downfall?
Three Tops have been singled out in the report published by the parliamentary commission:
The primary responsibility for the downfall of HBOS should rest with the Sir James Crosby, architect of the strategy that set the course for disaster, with Andy Hornby, who proved unable or unwilling to change course, and Lord Stevenson, who presided over the bank's board from it's birth to its death.
How was strategy responsible for the downfall of HBOS?
Here is what the parliamentary report says:
The strategy set by the Board from the creation of the new Group sowed the seeds of its destruction. HBOS set a strategy for aggressive, asset-led growth across divisions over a sustained period. This involved accepting more risk across all divisions of the Group. Although many of the strengths of the two brands within HBOS largely persisted at branch level, the strategy created a new culture in the higher echelons of the bank. This culture was brash, underpinned by a belief that the growing market share was due to a special set of skills which HBOS possessed and which its competitors lacked. The effects of the culture were all the more corrosive when coupled with a lack of corporate self-knowledge at the top of the organisation, enabling the bank's leaders to persist in the belief, in some cases to this day, that HBOS was a conservative institution when in fact it was the very opposite. :
The growth of HBOS's Corporate Division was not the result of superior performance but of its high-risk strategy. The nature of its activities did not alter after the creation of HBOS, although the pace of growth accelerated and the scale significantly increased. When the Division later incurred huge losses, these too were due to the particular nature of its business and resulted directly from its high-risk strategy. Its losses were on a larger proportionate scale than those incurred by any other major UK bank. This was caused specifically by its distinctive loan book, including concentration in commercial real estate and leveraged loans, high exposure to single names, a high proportion of non-investment grade or unrated credit and holdings of equity and junior debt instruments. The loan book was therefore significantly more exposed to the domestic downturn than that of any other large UK corporate banking businesses.
The acceleration in loan growth, in part caused by the Division's neglect of the storm signals of 2007 and 2008, is likely to have exacerbated the scale of the subsequent losses. However, even without this acceleration, the Division would still have incurred disastrous losses. The roots of all these mistakes can be traced to a culture of perilously high risk lending. The picture that emerges is of a corporate bank that found it hard to say 'no'.
In view of the reckless lending policies pursued by HBOS Corporate Division, we are extremely disappointed by the attempts of the most senior leaders of HBOS at the time to attribute the scale of the consequent losses principally, or in significant measure, to the temporary closure of wholesale markets. The lending approach of the Corporate Division would have been bad lending in any market. The crisis in financial markets was merely the catalyst to expose it. Losses in the Corporate Division did not prove temporary. Indeed, we estimate that the HBOS Corporate loan book has continued to incur significant impairments in every year since 2008, demonstrating that the losses were the result of incompetent lending and not caused solely by the events of 2008. Furthermore, HBOS's Corporate Division was significantly more exposed than other banks to the downturn in the economy due to the nature of its loan book.
Strategy and CX: what are the five questions that you need to answer?
Recently, I came across this piece – Don't Let Strategy Become Planning - from Roger Martin. I recommend reading it. If you do not wish to make the time then this post is for you.
Strategy is not planning, it is an integrated set of choices
Strategy is not planning – it is an integrated set of choices that collectively position the firm in its industry so as to create sustainable advantage relative to competition and deliver superior financial returns. Obviously you can't execute a strategy without initiatives, investments, and budgeting. But what you need to get managers focused on before you start on these things is the strategy that will make these initiatives coherent.
Strategy is singular: there is only one strategy for a given business
..strategy is a singular thing; there is one strategy for a given business – not a set of strategies. It is one integrated set of choices: what is our winning aspiration; where will we play; how will we win; what capabilities need to be in place; and what management systems must be instituted?
What has this to do with being customer-centric or customer experience?
If we stand in this framework, then it occurs to me that the customer-centric orientation as put forth by Don Peppers and/or customer experience are relevant if and only if the answer to the question "How will we win?" is "through being customer-centric and/or delivering a great customer experience".
Looking at what is so, it occurs to me that the majority of companies have a business strategy whose answer to the question "How will we win?" is "not by being customer-centric nor by crafting/delivering a great customer experience."
What do you think?

Fergus Cullen: How Stella helped the NH GOP get its groove back
Corporations understand the importance of protecting their brand, their image in the public's eye. One rat in one kitchen in a chain of 5,000 restaurants undoes decades of good will, destroys trust, and hurts sales for years, not just in the offending store but everywhere the company does business.
The Republican Party, both nationally and within New Hampshire, tolerated too many brand-killing rats in recent years. When midwestern U.S. Senate candidates Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock made offensive comments about rape, voters expressed their disgust, in part, by taking it out on Republican candidates running for down ballot offices as far away as New Hampshire. That's what happens when a political brand gets damaged. One Republican somewhere says something stupid and every Republican everywhere pays for it.
Closer to home, a small number of Republican office holders in Concord, most of them political novices identified with the Tea Party, did considerable damage to the New Hampshire Republican brand in 2011 and 2012 by espousing conspiracy theories and fringe policies. Too many other Republicans in positions of responsibility turned deaf ears to crazy talk instead of speaking out against it.
Last fall's election, like those of 2006 and 2008, was not like Passover, when blood on the door spared the virtuous Republicans and only the deserving were killed. Centrist voters concluded all Republicans were either crazy or enabled crazy. Nearly every Republican caught outside a safe seat got slaughtered. That's the high price of a badly damaged brand.
New Hampshire Democrats used to have a brand problem of their own. Support for an income tax was the party's brand and that anchor drowned them electorally for decades. Tired of losing, Jeanne Shaheen and other party leaders took action and marginalized the income taxers. Today Democrats take The Pledge and win. They fixed their brand.
The chorus of Republican voices condemning Rep. Tremblay's views is an encouraging sign that party leaders are determined to repair the New Hampshire Republican brand. This was an act of some political courage for House Minority Leader Gene Chandler, who had to call out a member of his own caucus, and for State Republican Chairwoman Jennifer Horn, whose job it is to elect Republicans. Republican National Committeeman Steve Duprey backed them up by calling on Tremblay to resign.
Earlier, Chuck Douglas, who served eight years on the New Hampshire Supreme Court prior to his election to Congress, wrote an important op-ed calling out the self-credentialed constitutional experts who populate the Tea Party movement for invoking the Constitution in vain. Not every policy disagreement amounts to a constitutional violation, Douglas chided.
Chandler, Horn, Duprey, Douglas and others are doing the politically unpleasant but necessary work of reclaiming the party's brand. They are following the lead of William F. Buckley, who viewed his job as separating the right wing from the fringe so a sustainable conservative movement capable of winning elections and implementing policy could take root.
Next year's Republican candidates need them to continue reclaiming the party's brand. For the first time since 1980, New Hampshire Republicans seek candidates for all four major offices - governor, U.S. Senate, and both congressional seats - without having an incumbent in any of them. As yet, the party doesn't exactly have a surplus of candidates champing at the bit to run.
In part this is because potential candidates are studying the long range political weather forecasts. After the blowouts of 2006, 2008 and 2012, they want some assurance that 2014 is shaping up to be the kind of year in which a decent Republican candidate running a decent campaign has a decent chance of winning.
They also want evidence that the party's brand isn't so damaged that voters won't give them a fair hearing. Candidates can't do much to control the weather, but they could join the other leaders in speaking out to repair the brand.

Homeowner plans to leave Redding after attack
A woman is in jail after police say she trespassed then tried to stab a homeowner several times with an ice pick. This incident happened around midnight on the 600 block of Loma Street in Redding.
According to the Redding Police Department the woman was 27-year-old, transient Britnee Kemp. Kemp allegedly attacked Leon Devoid, 67, after he tried to stop her from smashing the window of his home.
Police said Devoid didn't know Kemp and had told her to leave the property after she knocked on his door.
We spoke with Devoid today. He declined to go on camera but said he has seen the transient population grow tremendously in the Redding area.
Devoid said Kemp didn't leave and tried throwing a concrete brick through the window. Then Kemp tried stabbing Devoid with an ice pick, threatening to kill him, which is why Devoid had to hold Kemp down. While he held her down she bit him on the chest.
Devoid said he's grown tired of the issues with transients in the Redding area and will be moving out of town.

UPDATE 5/15/15 @ 11:42 p.m.
CLENDENIN, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A teenager has died following a crash that happened along Reamer Road in Clendenin on Monday.
Herbert Hoover High School Vice-Principal Jason Cantrell says Toni "Leeann" Spencer was a junior at the school.
The car she was in rolled over into a creek dropping about 30 feet.
Spencer died from her injuries.
Cantrell says that students are able to talk to school counselors to help them get through the tragedy.
Spencer's visitation is scheduled for Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at Matics Funeral Home.
Her funeral is set for Saturday.
The vehicle left the roadway and went about 30 to 40 feet into a creek. One person was flown to the hospital by helicopter, and two others were hurt. The victims' conditions are unknown at this time.
Just the one vehicle was involved.
The crash was reported about 7:10 p.m. Monday, and crews remained at the scene well after 8 p.m.

Removing fading flowers – dead-heading – will drastically improve the groomed look of a plant, prevent seediness and often promote reblooming. Use hand pruners to remove the flower back to a set of healthy leaves or take off entire stalks, depending on the flower structure. Wear thick gloves when dead-heading roses.

Is North Pond Dependable?
I am planning a once in a life-time party for 10 on a Saturday night and want the food to be as special as the price and the setting. I am interested in North Pond but am concerned as it has had some negative comments. A restaurant gets these ratings but I would like to minimize the possibility of any surprises and/or "bad nights"
Please Advise.
re: YoYoPedro
Thanks for the supporting comment.
I did have a big party there with Pheasant so tough you couldn't chew it.
My other experiences were always top drawer. Maybe it was a "fowl" time?!
A few months ago I called for a party of 8 at North Pond. They would only offer 5:30 over very late (this was a policy, not something about that evening) and also you had to have a pre set menu. So, call before getting your heart set on this.
We ate there only once and have not returned. Despite having many open, set tables (that remained open for the evening), the reception desk made a big deal of making us wait in the bar while they looked for a table for us (we had a reservation, but had called ahead that we were stuck in traffic, resulting in being 15 minutes late). There was no table for us available in the area with the great views. The food was good, but not better than other restaurants without the attitude.
I've been there 6 or 7 times and had nothing but postive experiences, from the service to the food. It's my favorite place in Chicago, and have heartily reccomended it to anyone looking for a place to have a special occassion. Further, I've held a larger dinner (10 people) there, and encountered no such policy as mentioned above.
re: smithclay
I just had brunch last weekend at North Pond and it was not impressive. The positives: the space, location and the alcohol. The menu seems beautiful and describes the food so that it MUST be the best in Chicago. However, the portions were miniscule and the food was not that special. I ordered the salmon dish, which was a small piece of fishy lox and undercooked rice, the pancakes, which were bland with a little boring apple compote, and melon for dessert, blah. My friend ordered the walla walla soup, which tasted too salty and looked like puke, and the roasted pork which had the consistency of bologna. Unforunately our bill was about $200 for three people-for freaking brunch!!!
I have dined at Norht Pond 3 times and have had nothing but a great experience every time.The last time was when I organized a brunch about a month ago for 12 people . The food has been great every time and the service has been wonderful but this last time they added a few personal touches I was very impressed with. The 12 person brunch was a birthday party and when we arrived and sat down the menus were handed out to my surprise they had printed special menus with the birthday persons name at the top with a happy birthday.. in addition they brought a cake out with a candle and served it to the birthday girl herself.. the funny thing was they never asked anyone whose birthday it was they picked it up by observing... In addition to the service and special touches I have always had great inovative food.. I would not worry about having yoru party there.

Sequel Talk: What's Up with Future 'Ted' and 'Bourne' Movies« Back to Story
Ted and The Bourne Legacy did pretty well at the Box Office. In fact, both films exceeded a lot of expectations and the folks over at Universal Pictures are pretty pleased.So pleased, in fact, that they've just confirmed that both franchises will be getting sequels. Prior to the release of The Bourne Legacy, producer Frank Marshall had already teased about another Bourne movie to come: "We're gonna follow Jeremy's character. Everything else is wide open. That's the great thing about this now. The table is set to go any direction we want to. But we will, I'm sure, follow Jeremy and see what happens. Jeremy and Rachel [Weisz]."As for Ted 2, Universal CEO Steve Burke has been quoted as saying that they're going to start work on the sequel "as soon as we can."

6 Top Bloggers Share Their Summer to Fall Transition Tips
It's time to say a familiar farewell to sweet summertime and an excited hello to autumn! From dreamy sweaters to luxurious leather, we turned to six of the fashion set's top beautiful bloggers — Julia Engel, Rachel Parcell, and Shea Marie, for starters — to give us the low-down on fall fashion.
By Brooke Hayley Reagan
Shea Marie (Peace Love Shea)
Lucky for me, living in Southern California where seasons consist of "summer" and "those couple of 'not-summer' months," summer-to-fall wardrobe transition is quite easy. To set the tone for my fall wardrobe without breaking the bank, I have a few tricks.
Step 1: Swap out your strappy sandals for black or brown ankle booties. One small change and you've already said a lot about the time of year of your outfit.
Trade that babydoll pink nail color for a more earthy tone — burgundy, taupe, olive or even black.
Stack up the accessories. Add a felt hat, lots of metal bangles and cuffs.
Spending most of the summer beachside with a natural makeup-less face to avoid post-swim mascara raccoon eyes, it's time to add a little golden brown eyeliner and wine-colored lip stain.
Here's where you invest in a great leather jacket that will be your fall/winter staple piece. I'm not quite ready to sausage my legs into skinnys all winter though, so my trick is a black maxi skirt or a pair of black tights.

Help. Is this normal for the DA 18-135?
Dec 30, 2012
I just acquired a used DA 18-135 and noticed right away that after zooming it is necessary to refocus. If so, this is not a true "zoom" lens, but a "vary-focal" lens. I have a Katz-eye split image focusing screen so the focus change is very obvious as I zoom.
Is this within design specs, or should I return it?

The Duchess of Cambridge's first trip to Canada and the US is shaping up to be full of memorable highlights – including a trip to one of the world's biggest rodeos.
Kate and Prince William will visit Alberta during the final Canada leg of their 11-day tour at the same time that the Calgary Stampede opens.
At the event, which bills itself as 'The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth' and is televised across Canada, the couple will have the chance to see bucking broncos, chuckwagon racing and generally soak up the festival atmosphere.
The royal couple will visit at least nine cities and travel more than 14,000 miles in 11 days during their first official tour together.
It runs from June 30 to July 10.
