User's Guide for This Site

Welcome to The BSM Consulting Group Web site

This User Guide provides:

  • An overview of the navigation used within the site; and
  • The recommended desktop configuration for membership subscribers.

Web site Navigation

All navigation within the site is done using a point-and-click process. All pages contain a horizontal menu located at the top of the page. For subtopics within a main selection, you will find the categories within a main page either as underlined text and/or icons.

All navigation is contained within the site except for the occasional use of your browser's back button.

Recommended Desktop Configuration for Membership Subscribers

Desktop Software

In order to make the maximum use of our Member Services sites, it is recommended subscribers have Microsoft® Excel and Microsoft® Word on their computer. If the subscriber does not have these software programs, we suggest acquiring one of the Microsoft office-based packages. These can be purchased online by visiting the Microsoft website or other software purchasing sites online, or at your local retail store.

Depending on how your browser is configured, it will either launch Excel and/or Word files directly in your spreadsheet or word document software or open the file within the browser. In either case, you can save, edit and print these files. To return to the site, close the file and exit the spreadsheet or document program.

Desktop Setup

Some of our pages contain Macromedia Flash content. If you are not using Netscape Navigator 4.06 or higher or Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher, you may need to download and install the player. The player is free and can be downloaded from the Macromedia Flash Player Download Center site. The download takes approximately 1 minute and instructions are provided. Click on the Macromedia Flash Player icon to download the software.

For accessing many of our presentation materials, you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader. The reader is free and can be downloaded from the Adobe site. It is recommended that you use Adobe Reader 5.0 or higher for best results. The download takes only a few minutes. Click on the Adobe icon to download the software.
