As a business person or a person who owns a computer, how prepared are you in protecting yourself against data loss?

If you lost all of your important files and memorable photos, do you think you would be able to run data recovery to reclaim them?

Data recovery is the process of salvaging lost data from either a secondary storage system, removable media or files.

In this digital era, data has been classified as the new “oil”. In the business world, data is the driving force behind innovation, competition, productivity, and improvement of core operations. Likewise, governments all over the world require data to make vital decisions that will affect their populace.

With that in mind, the convergence of data streaming from billions of mobile phones, digital platforms, virtual-reality applications, and wireless sensors, continue to pile up with each passing day. In fact, it is estimated that the amount of electronic data in existence today is 2.7 zettabytes. This number is expected to grow to 175 zettabytes by 2025.

This presents a humongous challenge in managing and ensuring that such a large amount of data is secure. In addition, the looming question in many people’s minds is; what would happen if all this data magically disappeared? Would the world come to a standstill or are there backup mechanisms where it can be retrieved later?

In this article, Process Street will expound on the main causes of data loss, the importance of backing it up, and tips on how you can successfully run data recovery processes.

This article has been broken down into the following sections.

• Causes of data loss and the impact on your business
• How to avert the cost of data loss
• Best practices to prevent data loss
• Use a professional service to prevent data loss and implement data recovery

How rational do you think you are?

According to Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein, the answer is not very.

Thaler and Sunstein were pioneers who developed the choice architecture framework. According to them, humans are prone to hundreds of proven biases causing us to both think and act irrationally.

For our prehistoric ancestors, these biases saved time and cognitive effort. In our modern-day, business world, however, cognitive bias can impose significant drawbacks. Choice architecture is a framework that acts to prevent the negative repercussions of cognitive bias.

In this article, before we do anything, we will time-hop backward to discover the history of choice architecture. From knowing this history, we at Process Street will reveal what choice architecture is.  We will then consider the elements (common human biases) that the choice architecture framework acknowledges.

Finally, we examine the challenges choice architecture faces and ways those challenges can be resolved through the use of checklists as an alternative method. We will show you how you can use Process Street for free, along with choice architecture, to remove the negative repercussions human bias presents. Just read through the sections below:

• Choice architecture: A brief history
• What is choice architecture?
• The elements of choice architecture
• Choice architecture in action
• What do biases mean for your business?
• Using processes to remove human irrationality

2018 saw the U.S. economy grow by 4.1%, well ahead of the trend.

Following this, U.S. President Donald Trump stated:

“These numbers are very, very sustainable. This isn’t a one-time shot.” – Donald Trump, Is the economy really as great as Trump says?

What did Trump mean when he said that this number was “very sustainable” – and was it?

In 2019, and as predicted by economists, the U.S. growth rate slowed down and returned to 2.1%.

Unsustained high growth rates are very common. It seems that the magic 2% has a gravitational pull, hauling back growth rates that increase over it. Is this 2% what economic sustainability looks like?

In this article, we at Process Street explore what is meant by economic sustainability. We look at the benefits economic sustainability can bring on a global level and at a business level. We suggest ways you can become economically sustainable in your business today.

Read through the sections below:

It was my first time visiting Sweden, and somehow I found myself hauling two baskets of milk containers to deliver to the local supermarket. Feeling like a recycling heroine, my ego was soon deflated when I realized my efforts were something of commonality in this country.

Recycling is part of the Swedish supermarket’s environmental management strategy and has contributed to the country’s 99% recycling rate. It is results such as these that make Sweden one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world.

In fact, many Swedish corporations place the present and prevailing problems facing our environment on a pedestal. Why?

If you read my last post on business sustainability, you will understand how the environment impacts our economy. It is due to this deep-seated connection between economies and ecosystems that make environmental management so important.

Environmental management acts to safeguard nature from potentially damaging business operations, constructing a win-win situation benefitting the economy and the environment.

In this article, we at Process Street explain exactly what environmental management is, why it is needed, and how you can implement environmental management into your business today. We also have a bunch of free templates to help you apply Environmental Management strategies.
