Fact or Fiction?

Mar 08 2016

The news is awash with the US presidential primaries and the potential of a Brexit – (the UK leaving the EU). Much of the “information” available to the general public, as provided by those shouting loudest, seems to be based on fiction! Or […]

The Law of the Instrument

Feb 09 2016

I read an article the other day about standardised work and one today regarding A3’s. The first one had a phrase that reverberated with me; “a countermeasure in search of a problem, instead of the other way around”. The second emphasises […]

Excuses – Business As Usual?

Jan 19 2016

Challenging Peers

Jan 12 2016

I’ve written before on leadership and challenging others. Last time was about having the courage to challenge anyone when things are not right. Today I write about challenging peers. I remember once when I was the Materials, Planning & Logistics Manager […]

Public Commitment

Oct 01 2015

I’ve had a few discussions recently regarding the need to visualise something if we know/are aware of the status, especially for short-term events. Why write it on a white board just in case somebody pops by and is interested? What […]

Enforcing Standards 2

Nov 18 2014

Several discussions over the last few days have centred around standards and more specifically, enforcing them. One of the issues that is repeatedly discussed is to what extent. There are all sorts of standards that exist in any organisation. Most […]

When did Management become a bad word?

Oct 14 2014

I’m not sure when it happened, I’m sure it was over a period of years. Over the last few decades probably, leadership seems to have become the “answer” and management has become a bad word. I like leadership; I do […]

Standards First

Aug 26 2014

I couldn’t count the number of organisations I have worked in/with where they have been a bit upset when I have said that they have to establish a baseline (a standard) before they can improve. In one I was working […]

The Hawthorne Effect

Jan 14 2014

The Hawthorne Effect – we’ve probably all heard about it at some point, a training course some years ago or some consultant mentions it after you show him the dramatic improvement in results after adjusting focus. I’m not going to […]

Intestinal Fortitude

Dec 17 2013

We’ve probably all worked for a tyrant at one point or another, the one who likes confrontation, in fact thrives on the fear it instills in the rest of us who don’t. We probably looked forward to another time, when […]
