We, Us, Our, and Ours: Preferred Pronouns of Winning Organizations  The Power of "We": Why Inclusion Drives Organizational Success "When united, we stand" is not just a national motto—it applies to organizations as well. The word united signifies community with shared vision and goals. Unity of diversity can transcend personal interests and conflicts to focus on team and organizational success. Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, emphasized that an organization's culture is a key ingredient for success. His focus is on the unity of people that help the organization not merely to survive but thrive. This unity is best cultivated through a culture of inclusion. Many organizations upholding inclusion as a core value can leverage it as a competitive advantage. Drucker’s emphasis on people underscores the power of inclusion. Organizations that embrace diversity—bringing together individuals with varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives—are better equipped to care for their employees, customers, and the broader community. Such organizations naturally develop a heightened awareness of diverse business environments and are more responsive to evolving needs. Why "We" and “Us” Matters The language of inclusivity—"we" and "us"—shifts the focus from individual victories to collective success. Organizations that prioritize inclusion create environments where employees feel valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their best work, optimizing collaboration and innovation. Inclusion does not imply uniformity; rather, it acknowledges that conflict and differences can be strengths. A collection of “I’s” does not equate a unified “we.” Overemphasizing the individual fosters division and competition rather than collaboration. A true “we” culture is intentional - built by transformational leaders who harness its power to elevate their organizations. When leaders move beyond a transactional approach and unlock people’s potential, they transform isolated contributions into a shared vision. This synergy unites individuals around common goals, amplifying collective achievement and driving meaningful impact. Lessons Learned From Businesses In addition to ethical considerations, promoting inclusion offers significant business advantages, optimize business decisions, and minimize decision mishaps. Learning from contemporary and classic business cases, we are reminded of power of “we.” Research from Google's Project Aristotle revealed that teams composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences perform better in problem-solving. The study found that such diversity fosters improved collaboration, creativity, and decision-making, leading to stronger team dynamics and enhanced performance. This proves that a variety of viewpoints can result in more innovative solutions. Conversely, in a classic example, a lack of diversity within a team can hinder business decisions and create a disconnect between the company and its customers. As a classic example, in the 1970s, Chevrolet launched the Nova in Mexico, but it suffered from poor sales. A significant reason for this was that "Nova" translates to "no va" in Spanish, meaning "doesn't go." This misalignment with cultural and linguistic nuances negatively affected the car's image in the Mexican market. A more diverse team could have helped prevent such a marketing misstep. Shifting to a "We" Culture to Advance Success Fostering an inclusive culture requires intentional leadership. Here are some key strategies: Use Inclusive Language – Leaders should be intentional use "we" instead of "I" in their communication and acknowledge collective achievements to reinforce shared success. Encourage Diverse Perspectives – Inclusive organizations must actively seek input from all team members, accept differences, and create a work environment where different voices are heard and valued. Build Psychological Safety – Employees should feel comfortable expressing ideas without fear of rejection. When people trust that their contributions matter, they are more likely to take part more authentically. Unite Teams With Shared Goals – A clear, collective vision aligns efforts across the organization, ensuring that success is not individual but a team-driven accomplishment. As Peter Drucker taught, leadership is not about individual brilliance but about enabling people to achieve more together. Leaders can unleash potential of people to drive organizational success. The power of "we" can sustain strategic advantage, transforms workplaces, strengthens teams, and paves the way for a more successful and inclusive future. Now, let us put "we," "us," "our," and "ours" into practice and unlock the full potential of ‘our’ teams and organizations.

Celebrating Black History Month In 1976, during the U.S. Bicentennial, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month, urging Americans to honor the contributions of Black individuals. Since then, it has been celebrated annually in February in the U.S., while other countries like Canada (February) and the United Kingdom (October) have adopted their own observances. Black History Month began as Negro History Week in 1926, founded by historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) (now ASALH). Woodson chose the second week of February to align with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, both significant figures in Black history. The week aimed to educate the public about Black achievements, counter racist narratives, and promote pride in African American heritage. Over the decades, schools and communities expanded the celebration, and by the late 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement fueled a push for broader recognition. This month CIAM recognizes and celebrates the contributions, achievements, and the resilience of Black individuals. Their contributions have impacted and shaped our country and the world. Black History Month informs and remembers both the challenges and accomplishments to inspire all future generations. Happy Black History Month!" How we can celebrate Black History Month Learn About Black History and Culture : Read books, watch documentaries, or listen to podcasts that highlight the history, achievements, and contributions of Black people. Some classic books to consider are The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, or The Color Purple by Alice Walker. Explore works from Black authors, artists, and musicians. Look into genres of music like jazz, hip-hop, and blues, which were shaped by Black artists. Support Black-Owned Businesses : Try to support local and national Black-owned businesses. This could mean shopping, dining, or booking services that are owned and operated by Black entrepreneurs.

Volunteer or Donate to Organizations : Volunteer time or resources to organizations that support the Black community, such as local youth centers, advocacy groups, or nonprofits focused on racial justice, education, or economic empowerment. Amplify Black Voices : Share stories, music, poetry, or art created by Black individuals. Whether it’s on social media or in conversations with friends and family, amplifying Black voices and achievements helps to raise awareness and celebrate their contributions. Educate Yourself and Others About Racial Injustice : Use this time to explore the ongoing challenges facing Black communities, including systemic racism, voting rights, healthcare disparities, and more. Reflect on how you can contribute to fighting injustice year-round. Support Black History Month Initiatives : Participate in events or initiatives at schools, workplaces, or other organizations. Many places host educational seminars, workshops, or even artistic performances to celebrate the month. Engage with Black History Through Art and Literature : Create or engage in artistic expressions that reflect Black history and culture. You can attend poetry readings, art exhibits, or participate in writing or art projects that focus on African American history.

3 Emerging Trends in Project Management Project management tools, methods, and technologies keep evolving, giving managers new ways to create, manage, and execute projects. At CIAM, we equip learners with the skills and confidence to develop their professional edge in project management. Our MBA project management courses cover the fundamentals and key concepts of project analysis and organizational management. Here is more information about three emerging trends in the field of project management: 1. Evolving Technology Project management tools and technologies are constantly evolving. The advent of low-code and no-code development allows project managers to design custom in-house management tools. Modern project management tools are built to seamlessly integrate with existing time tracking, resource management, CRM, and accounting software. Project managers can also use other management software, including portfolio management, collaboration, data analytics, visualization, and change management platforms. Project managers and their teams use rapidly advancing technologies like automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. These technologies, rapid growth rates and improvements can make software selection challenging. Digital project managers must expand their skill set to evaluate and prioritize the right technology that can adapt to new advancements. Our MBA project management courses can give you an understanding of efficient project management software to help you identify, evaluate, and adopt the right technology for your projects. 2. Hybrid Methodologies Project management methodologies have evolved from traditional Waterfall to Agile approaches, but hybrid models are gaining the most traction. Organizations are shifting from a single-methodology system to hybrid models involving multiple project management methodologies that allow for more flexibility. Project managers can borrow ideas from different methodologies to match their work environments. They have multiple methodologies to consider when looking for the right fit for their projects and environments, like Scrum, Six Sigma, and Lean. Traditional approaches like Waterfall focus on strict process planning and future analysis for risk mitigation. Modern Agile methodologies offer the flexibility to change paths during the project with adaptive teams and simpler task objectives. Agile approaches work great for software development teams. CIAM helps students explore these methodologies by offering a course in project management in practice. The course explores key concepts and emerging trends in project management methodologies. 3. Remote Work The preference for remote and contract work has risen, with staffers and freelance project managers opting for distributed project teams. Location dependence is being phased out, and project managers are adapting their strategies to manage remote teams. Remote work involves optimizing communication systems and maintaining team cohesion and project transparency. This new workspace also propels collaborative innovations like cloud-based project management software and video conferencing platforms. Digital project management is a high-demand freelancing skill, and more companies are embracing remote project managers and co-working arrangements. Project managers must reevaluate their processes and schedules to accommodate teams in different time zones and cultures. This digital environment also increases project managers reliance on data analysis and software tools to reduce project complexity. Project managers can use management software to review reports, issue new assignments and briefings, and monitor task progress remotely. Enroll in the MBA Project Management Program CIAM is dedicated to teaching the philosophies of management as a liberal art and offers several MBA program emphases, including project management.

MBA programs in California include courses in the Management of Information Systems that explore the role of technology in business decision-making. Diagnostic analytics may be integrated into these courses to help students understand how data analysis contributes to managerial decision support. Predictive Analytics Predictive analytics uses statistical algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify the probability of future outcomes based on historical data. CIAM offers Applied Probability and Statistics in Data Analytics as one of the courses to help graduates grasp predictive analytics. Credit card companies use predictive analytics to detect potentially fraudulent transactions by analyzing spending patterns and transaction locations. Predictive analytics helps organizations predict which customers will likely churn or discontinue using their products or services.

How Can  Virtue Ethics Be Applied to Project Management Processes? Virtue ethics put virtue and an individual's character above the consequences of voluntary acts, rules, or principles of conduct. Other ethical systems emphasize doing one's duty and acting to bring about good outcomes. At CIAM, we focus on teaching management philosophies as a liberal art, and our MBA project management courses cover the role and application of ethical principles during the lifecycle of a project. Here is how you can apply virtue ethics to the project management process: Resolving Ethical Dilemmas Project managers should do what is right for the company, society, and stakeholders while adhering to local laws. As a project manager, you must oversee the project to fulfill the organization's goals, social responsibility, and welfare commitment. CIAM's MBA project management course on ethical leadership prepares students to deal with ethical dilemmas in the decision-making process. Ethical dilemmas occur when situations conflict with your moral values or professional project management standards. Examples of ethical dilemmas you may face include employee anxiety, lawful conduct, fairness, transparency, and accountability. If teams are anxious about their job security due to automation, you can assure them of their roles and responsibilities. You can also fairly represent the performance of employees without favoritism. Virtue ethics apply to many situations and dilemmas that require compassion, fairness, and sound leadership. Project managers can use virtue ethics to prioritize moral values and determine what a virtuous person would do in each situation. Consistency In Decision Making Project management decisions tend to be goal-oriented, resulting in ethical systems focusing on the rules and principles of conduct. Managers and teams emphasize the consequences of their actions and obedience to set regulations and authorities. Analyzing consistency in decision-making is one way to apply virtue ethics in the project management process. Project managers can establish standardized review approaches so everyone involved can access the same tools and metrics needed for their jobs. Ethics require consistency, meaning a project manager's morals, standards, values, and decisions must not be contradictory. Good virtues for project managers include honesty, courage, tolerance, integrity, fairness, compassion, and self-control. Applying these virtues in project management can result in consistent decision-making. Consistency reduces subjectivity and bias in communication, task assignment, reviews, and engagement. All teams and individuals should receive fair treatment and access to resources and information. Team Motivation and Leadership Project management requires skilled and confident leaders who can identify issues and apply ethical principles while finding solutions. At CIAM, we teach models of ethics, duty, motivation, and leadership to cultivate a sense of compassionate management. Project managers are also trained in the importance of service to others and leadership as a liberal art. Adopting the ethical principles and cardinal virtues of courage, justice, fortitude, truthfulness, and restraint can result in project managers creating an empowered team. Project managers can apply virtue ethics during hiring processes to find team members with strong values. Employees who embody desirable virtues carry their behavior into the workplace and influence others. Creating a strong organizational culture with mental fortitude, courage, self-control, and kindness as its central values can drive workplace productivity. Business leaders can also solve issues and inspire others through responsible, compassionate, and holistic management principles designed to elevate humanity. Explore MBA Project Management Programs CIAM's MBA project management in practice courses are designed to help students understand how virtue ethics apply to project management. After learning about virtue ethics in an MBA program, project managers can use the concepts to enhance their workplaces. Contact CIAM today to learn more about our MBA project management courses and how they can help you develop your professional edge and ethics.

How BAH Rates apply to MBA Programs in California Uniformed service members and their eligible family members can qualify for basic allowance for housing, BAH. The U.S. GI Bill also provides education benefits and monthly housing allowance for military members. You can leverage the housing and education allowances to pursue college degree programs at CIAM. We have certified MBA programs designed to create competent business leaders who can solve social issues and inspire change. Here is a look at how BAH rates apply to MBA programs in California: Offsetting Monthly Rent Basic allowance for housing can offset your monthly rent, allowing you to find decent housing close to your MBA school. The funding is part of the U.S. military compensation package designed for service members without government-provided housing. Your BAH depends on your location, pay grade, and dependents. The BAH rates in high-cost areas like California are higher than in low-cost areas. Cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles County lead the cities with the highest BAH rates. You can use the allowance to offset monthly rent during your study. High BAH rates translate to more monthly allowance so you can cover up to 100% of your monthly rent. If you are considering pursuing MBA programs in California, you can leverage the high BAH rates to find decent accommodation. CIAM has top MBA programs that teach Philosophies of Management as a liberal art. You can get an MBA in Executive Management or concentrate on Project Management and Business Analytics. The monthly housing allowance can reduce the overall cost of your MBA by covering rent for the duration of your course. Facilitating Your Education The government offers various types of BAH, including BAH with dependents, BAH without dependents, partial BAH, BAH reserve component/transit, and BAH-differential. Housing allowances are sent to your bank account, giving you complete discretion on how to spend it. A BAH amount calculation factors the average housing prices in each zone, so you can save money by choosing affordable accommodation. You can then use the balance for tuition, books, supplies, transport, and other expenses in your MBA graduate program. Finding accommodation closer to campus can reduce commuting expenses, but you might have to bear the increased cost of living. If you qualify for BAH, consider your eligibility for related education benefits like the GI Bill. You may qualify for paid courses through the GI Bill program. The GI Bill is an educational benefit for those in the Air Force, Space Force, army, navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. The benefit pays for tuition, fees, housing, books, and supplies.
