旅游贴士:
运用项目管理技巧,获取更多商旅利益
卡尔·赛林格尔
(1)出差旅行太多就会心生厌烦;过少就会期盼旅行。
但我们都应设法从旅行中获益,最好的方式是在你的行程上多花心思,就像你致力于解决一个技术难题一样。
(2)如果你想多出差---争取业务,和你行业团体建立联系,或只是看看外面的世界----你应设法获得去参加行业会议的机会;另一种方法是应要求写会议论文摘要,你单位将乐意派你去参会。
(3)你也可针对那些能扩大业务量的地方进行活动,我职业生涯中一次成功的商旅活动就是用的这种方式。
在番安姆航空公司1991年破产以后,我把它属下的肯尼迪机场维修设施在纽约市场进行销售。
我当时注意到在德国有一个有关飞机维修的会议,同时还有巴黎国际航空展,我写了与会申请,出乎我意料的是,我获准成行。
我争取到了许多商务合同,使得我的业务一直处于领先地位。
(4)获准成行是一码事,商旅成功是另一码事,以下是一些建议:
(5)规划整个行程:
一开始就要定下回程日期,大概的行程安排,主要会议以及预定机票、酒店及租车。
所有这一切,我都是在微软日历视窗软件上完成的,使得旅行就像周期性出现的约定,我把行程安排在“笔记区”输入。
这些都能在我的个人掌上数字助理上同步呈现,即使是这样,我还打印了一份,以便我能在上面记录开支情况,我也在手机的联系人一栏输入重要的联系电话。
(6)甚至在你旅行获批之前就要预定酒店,以便能得到会议住宿折扣优惠。
设定日程安排程序,万一你最后不能成行,程序也会在24小时内提醒你取消约定。
(7)在商旅活动前后,要准备加班加点工作。
在日历上做出标记以免和人会面,这样才能完成你在外出差时落下的大量工作。
然而更好的做法是,你出差返回的确切日期不能泄露。
(8)轻装简从,因为你总是能买到必需的个人用品。
随身行李里什么能携带,什么不能携带,要了解最新的安全规定。
(9)避开旅行高峰期,比如明智的旅行者会选择合适的时间到达芝加哥繁忙的奥黑尔国际机场,在夏季,早点到达机场能避开下午的雷暴,在冬季,晚点到达机场,以便先天晚上的积雪能有时间融化。
(10)保持平和的心态。
事情不顺利的时候,尽量不要生气,因为这是经常出现的。
我曾经有次在休斯敦丛林国际机场的候机大厅滞留了一整天,但是我有事干,尽管没有乐趣可言,然而也不会担忧。
(11)规划回程,问清楚机场快巴的班次,应该到达机场的时间,然后和航空公司确认登机时间。
尽管酒店和出租车司机都说有我充足的赶机时间,但是有次我还是没赶上从德国汉堡起飞的返程航班,原因是那架飞机为了确保在伦敦希思罗机场能有停机位而将登机时间提前了。
这是谁的错误?
当然是我自己的,因为我没和航空公司确认。
(12)除了学会忍耐和灵活处事之外,旅行能教你办公室学不到的知识。
当然商务旅行最重要的是商业活动,但也不能忘了享受旅游的过程。
祝旅途愉快!

五德罗威尔逊教授曾说过:
每位大学毕业生应该是爱国者同时应具有时代精神,我坚信每位从本校荣幸毕业的男女学生将继续奉献他们的青春年华和聪明才智,悉心为公众服务,充当社会的栋梁。
约翰梅斯菲尔德写道:
“世间没有什么比大学更美”,他不是指高耸的塔尖,绿树成荫的校园和爬满长春藤的围墙。
他赞赏大学之美,他说因为那是“痛恨愚昧的人孜孜求知之所,领悟真理的人诲人不倦之处”。
