Write You - WARNING. Easy Journey Ahead
Six Sigma methodology is not a self-sustaining management tool perhaps unlike other technologies. It can only deliver the results subject to multiple variables and inputs such as deployment intensity and culture. Nonetheless, the results take around 4-6 months to show, depending on the projects selected and adherence to the tenets of the methodology.The Six Sigma audit process does not depart too much from the assessment process of the deployment, in order that implementation status is checked for its effectiveness. The audit
Problem-Solving is essentially a "harmony", a "dialog" between a problem and the solver.
Probably, a colleague of mine would have found it easier to meet the sales figures, however aggressive, than to come up with a defending execuse.
HOWEVER, BOTH OF US WOULD BE EQUALLY MASTERS AT PROBLEM-SOLVING !!!
It is just that we would have solved a different problem in each case !!!
It seems that banks are constantly coming up with new ways for us to pay bills and withdraw money. First there were paper checks, then credit cards, then ATM cards, then debit cards linked to bank accounts, and now ACH electronic funds transfers. Of course, with each new payment method comes a new set of fees passed on to account holders and merchants. The smart merchant will weigh the pros and cons of each method with regards to safety, accountability, and processing cost, and then design her business practices to maximize profit
Fifteen minutes later, I come out of the room. There is a sigh of relief on my face; a similar _expression can be seen on my Sales Manager's face. As soon as I come to my cubicle - out of my Sales Manager's sight, this "sigh of relief" explodes into an _expression of joy - I DID IT, AND I DID IT AGAIN !!!
I could convince him easily about why the sales couldn't happen this time, why I had absolutely nothing to do with the figures not being met, and why it would be a cake-walk in the next quarter. He is absolutely convinced about it. I am safe. At least for the next 3 months!
Is it that I am more skillful at providing execuses than meeting sales figures? May be.
MAY BE NOT.
May be, I just didn't apply myself enough at meeting the sales figures.
May be, I didnt feel enough "ownership" of that problem.
May be, I didnt come up with a good enough strategy.
May be, the sales projections were impossible to reach.
May be ....
May be ....
May be ....
I will never know. NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW !!!
However, the fact that I could come up with a solid execuse to protect my job, is proof enough that I could have possibly come up with a similarly solid strategy to meet the sales figures ...
THE "HUMAN" SIDE OF PROBLEM-SOLVING
Whether it is a second-order differential equation, a programming problem, a sales target to be met or an HR problem - we cannot separate the problem from the problem-solver; we cannot separate the process of innovation from the innovator.
Any problem-solving occurs in the context of a problem-solver. Any innovation occurs in the context of an innovator.

Logistics software is a computer program which is used to make the process of logistics services more reliable and accurate. Logistics management is a science of planning, organizing, and executing activities for delivering the required goods or services in the right location at the right time. Modern technologies, communication links, and control systems are essential to manage materials, services, and financial goals. Logistics software helps companies or organizations in their overall performances of designing, developing, mark

Is your UK business likely to be affected by the Great Crested Newt? This amphibian species, legally protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, is common in many parts of Southern and Eastern England. In addition to the animals themselves, their habitat, consisting of ponds and ditches where they breed and land up to 500m from their breeding ponds/ditches, is protected by legislation. The legislation was strengthened in 2000 and the implications are still filtering through to business, with increasing impacts being f

Ever since she was a small girl, Geraldine wanted to have her own business. As she grew up she gradually decided that, as she loved beautiful clothes, she would save up her money and open a boutique.By the time she was 25, Geraldine had saved enough money to realize her dream. So she set about finding a vacant store, securing a long lease, buying fittings and fixtures and bringing in stock. By the time opening day came, Geraldine was tired, broke but happy. She had realized her dream; she had her own business.One week a

Everyone is feeling the pinch to the pocketbooks at the pumps these days. What can be done? Should anything be done? In this capitalist society it is not the duty of the government to interfere. However the gas prices are getting out of control. Katrina is over and production has recovered yet the prices increase. Oil companies are recording record profits. Obviously we need an alternative power source. However what is the incentive to a major company to invest in alternatives when oil is so profitable? Protecting the enviro

We might try desperately to hide behind the garbs of "professionalism", "processes", "methodologies", "work ethics", "taking ownership" and a host of other fictitious jargons, the fact remains that we cannot eradicate the human factors that drive (or stall) the process of innovation.
Asking an individual to be professional will not help.
Asking an individual to be more disciplined or punctual will not help
Asking an individual to "own up the problem" will not help.
Asking an individual to think differently, think out of the box, think innovatively, think quickly will never, never help.
It has never helped. We know that.
It will never help. We know that.
IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HELP. WE KNOW EVEN THAT.
However, due to lack of an alternative, we might feel tempted to do it over again and again.
AN "ALTERNATIVE" THAT WORKS!
There is a process - an underlying mechanism to Problem Solving and Innovation. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are masters at using this process, and we do create a host of results using this process throughout our lives.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS OF INNOVATION WOULD SURELY TAKE US MILES AHEAD THAN OUR PEERS. Knowing exactly what works and why, we will be able to cut short several deteours in our journey towards a solution, and be more accurate, optimal and efficient in churning out ideas and executing them.
It is not that we have to "learn" innovation. We only need to make our thinking more optimal, accurate and efficient.
It is not that we have to "learn" problem-solving. We only need to learn how to identify and attack the "right" problems.
Someday, the HR department of an organization might wake up to this realization and declare in the company policy :
"It is mandatory for all employees to work only on the right problems".
Or else, they may find a better way.
