I had a chat with a Continuous Improvement Manager that has got a Bruce Springsteen song lodged in my napper for days now. I was given the person's details by a Maintenance Supervisor at the company who thought we could help them. After explaining what we do at SRCN, the chat ended with the person saying “I don’t want to waste your time. (Note : Never a good sign as an opening). To be completely honest it sounds like what you do is exactly what we need here but if I go to my boss saying we should bring you guys in she'd sack me. She'd say that's my job, even though it isn't." The person was a lean practitioner by background who understood that discipline but not work management processes. Sadly this isn't the first time I've had this experience (albeit this was the most candid.). Many continuous improvement professionals are specialists in the discipline of implementing improvement, not in the processes they’re trying to improve. As a result they almost always need disciple specific subject matter expertise to be able to improve the processes they are targeting. The problem comes when organisations don’t actually have that expertise, or the the expertise they do have only knows how their own company does things. This lack of expertise can often mean that the continuous improvement specialists have nothing to work with and, as we all know…<clears throat> 🎶 You can’t start a fire Can’t start a fire without a spark… 🎶

Information Technology Head- IT Operations Manager | PRINCE2 - Practitioner - considering IT security roles
For 25 years I have been involved in manufacturing. One question people have asked me in various companies. Why do I encourage my teams to go above and beyond to support the shopfloor, ops managers, sales, lab techs, R&D, HSE, finance, quality, marketing. Directors Etc.? Having worked for Nick Cowley, Emma Chapman, Susan Wassell and Ben Watson I can assure you the points raised below are factual. 5 clear points stand out. 1. Never say NO without exhausting all options. IT is an enabler and not a blocker. My good friend Federico Salazar Nicholls always reminds me. If you have thought about improving a process in your mind then ensure you try and use IT to make it happen. 2. Customer service should always be at the top of your agenda. 3. IT is a partnership you build with the business. 4. Without product being shipped you have no business so ensure your IT team is there to support the business. 5. Remember IT is not there to tell the business what to do but to advice the business on how it can help improve processes with the right tools. Thanks for reading.

Why “Kaizen” is the term to be focussed”? (Japanese Perceptions of Job Function): According to them, Management has two Main functions. One is the Maintenance function and the other is the Improvement function. This improvement function further divides into Innovation and Kaizen. Maintenance Function: The activities like maintaining the current technologies, Managerial, Operations, etc come under this function. Make this high by giving continuous training, following discipline, and creating standard operating procedures. Improvement Function: This refers to taking the company to the next level. Focus on the Kaizen (Small Improvements results in ongoing efforts) and Innovations (Large investment of resources). Implement New ideas and make the employees follow on later. Percentage contribution of these functions to the Management: · Top Management (Innovation – 40%, Kaizen- 50%, Maintenance -10%) · Middle Management (Innovation – 20%, Kaizen – 40%, Maintenance – 40%) · Supervisors (Kaizen – 40%, Maintenance – 60%) · Workers (Kaizen – 15%, Maintenance – 85%) Here, Kaizen is the term that must be focused on by everyone from the workers to the senior management.

I help business leaders and managers who feel tired, unmotivated, and empty to become fulfilled and regain their work-life balance by transforming their work and team dynamics.
How much elegance and likeability will influence how others perceive us? Our impact will depend on the way we communicate. Let me tell you a story. I used to work as a Quality Control Engineer in a production plant for detergents. I was also responsible for quality improvement projects. After realizing one of the most recurrent quality issues, I decided to work hard to fix it. When I finally did, I felt so proud that I called the Plant Manager to show him my achievement. All he said was “Good job”; then, he turned to the Process Manager and asked him why we needed to wait so long for a new hire to solve that long-lasting quality problem. The Process Manager was not so happy with how I communicated what I did. Eventually, I apologized for not being elegant. It was a great lesson about skills and elegance. We need competence to successfully perform a task. We need elegance to fit in and be liked by our environment, as we do not live in isolation. And we also need a culture where mistakes are forgiven because it’s learning what matters most. What are your thoughts on this?
