🚨 FAKE COMPANY ALERT 🚨 Caution: Arcadia Vacations - A Disastrous Experience Sco 58, First Floor, Sector 47 C, Chandigarh, India 160047 #Travel Agency Fraud I’m deeply disappointed with Arcadia Vacations. Despite paying a significant advance, they’ve failed to deliver on their promises. MANISHA KANWAR Arcadia Vacations, a VP Sales, has been extremely unprofessional and even harassing. We’ve been completely disregarded, with our refund requests being ignored. I urge everyone to be cautious and avoid dealing with this company. Note : Sharing my passport number, disclosing my employer's name, constitutes a violation of privacy under Section 72A of the Information Technology Act, 2000. Instead of addressing my concerns or refunding my money, you chose to leak my personal information. This approach is unprofessional and a serious violation of privacy. #scam #fraud #travelfraud #beware #dontgetfooled #ArcadiaVacations #ManishaKanwar Deepinder Pal Singh VINAY KAPOOR Arcadia Vacations Yatra Online Ltd.

A healthy mix of CDI, JAX-RS, with occasional use of JAX-WS and Enterprise Beans for specific needs will get you quite far even with Java EE 6 or 7. Just read the manual (AKA spec) before embarking on any SDD (as in Superstition-Driven-Development) or CVDD (as in CV-Driven-Development) journey.

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a leading travel company to develop a cutting-edge software system for them. The travel sector is highly competitive. Moreover factors like economic fluctuations, seasons, traveler preferences, and trends make it all the more difficult for travel companies to stay at the top. When the company came up to me, we discussed about the requirements. Our goal was to streamline their operations, enhance customer experience, and drive growth. Here's how it went 👇 Before implementing the system: 🔺 Inefficient manual booking and management processes. 🔺 Difficulty tracking inventory, sales, and customer behavior. 🔺 Struggles to provide personalized experiences and build customer loyalty. So we came up with a solution: ▶️ A centralized platform: A comprehensive system for managing bookings, inventory, payments, and customer data. ▶️ Automation: Streamlined processes for increased efficiency and reduced errors. ▶️ Customer-centric features: Personalized recommendations, easy bookings, and 24/7 customer support. And the results were crazy good! ✔️ Improved customer satisfaction and loyalty. ✔️ Significant time and cost savings through automation. ✔️ Access to real-time analytics for informed business decisions. Are you a travel company? What challenges do you face when it comes to customer experience and internal efficiency? #travel #uae #technology #software #customerexperience #businessgrowth

The document is not the product. Organizations track metrics related to the documents, including mine... and, while it's important to ensure artifacts are high quality and timely, remember, the DOCUMENT ITSELF is not the goal of the process. Don't prioritize document metrics over learning and growth.

Spotlight on Professional Integrity: Navigating Job Title Inflation and Role Misrepresentation on LinkedIn We've all seen it—profiles on LinkedIn that seem to inflate duties or job titles beyond their true scope. This trend raises several critical questions for both professionals and employers: 1. Why Does It Happen? - Is it driven by competition, a desire for recognition, or pressure to appear more accomplished? 2. The Impact - How does this affect team dynamics, company culture, and the credibility of professionals within and outside the organization? 3. Company Policies - Should companies monitor LinkedIn profiles and hold employees accountable for misrepresentations? What are the ethical considerations involved in such monitoring? Here are some thought-provoking questions for the community: • Have you encountered instances of role inflation on LinkedIn? How did it impact your perception of the individual? • Should there be clear guidelines and consequences for misrepresenting one’s role online? If so, what should these look like? • How can companies support employees in showcasing their true achievements without feeling the need to exaggerate? Let's discuss! Your insights on maintaining professional integrity in our digital age are invaluable. #ProfessionalIntegrity #LinkedInEthics #WorkplaceCulture #CareerGrowth #Leadership #mentorship #accountability #askTheToughQuestions

Pleasantly surprised by the relevance of traditionally engineering-focused topics at AssetMark's Wealth Management Executive Forum 2024! Key takeaways: 1. Every organization, regardless of industry, needs a well-defined and purpose-driven data strategy, whether by partnering with the right tech company or building the expertise in-house. 2. It's increasingly important for leadership and management to have some level of engineering skills and, at the very least, a technically accurate intuitive understanding of the implications of applying Machine Learning techniques.

Framing complexifiers vs. simplifiers is a great way to look at senior leaders as people who can create clarity in the chaos. Personally, I think this is spot on: > "My test for spotting complexifiers is look for the following pattern: (1) Slow progress on results (2) Blamed on everything being difficult or complicated (3) With a tendency to find artificial prerequisite activities that sound plausible, but on further examination aren’t." https://lnkd.in/eVxx2gvY
