Thanks Les.

Yeah, your change agency is really coming through…
good luck to you
 

Suresh B S,
We rarely start our Black belts with no statistics in their background with the basics. Central Composite Designs works much better as a starting point. If you follow that with Multiple Linear Regression they will catch right on.
There is a reason that the basics are called the basics.

Stan,
Tell them how amazed you are that a single bag of M&M’s has lasted for three classes. Nobody eats them except the service people. You have to use something with double digits to keep them from eating them.
Accountants and IT people it doesn’t matter. They will eat them no matter what you tell them. They think it saves them the cost of a lunch.

Zoltan,
That would be correct but now we will see them back in less than year.

Natanyahoo,
That is the great part about a recession. We can all get down to crisis management instead of change management. Let’s throw out all the rules. We can wrap ourselves in a copy of the Wall Street Journal and rationalize bad leadership in the name of shareholder value. Political correctness is out the window and we can behave the way…[Read more]

John Flemming,
You are probably going to have difficulty selling the idea of putting computers in the ventilator unit with or without a proposal template. Most ventilators are not wired with outlets so there are power issues. Unless it is a large ventilator computers are probably more difficult to operate inside a ventilator. Although I have…[Read more]

Diane,
I think you are on the correct path. When our company needs projects we normally poll a group of people we don’t know and don’t know our business.
Truthfully it is an IT group. How about a brainstorming session? I have to believe that a group of people sitting around in Converse tennis shoes, free t-shirts from last years CES with…[Read more]

yu yu,
I wouldn’t bother to understand what the numbers represent either. Just keep generating those random number sets and running the capability numbers. It doesn’t really matter what they mean just so you can get Minitab to do the analysis. That is what is important.
Your other option is to turn off your computer and understand what the…[Read more]

smart1,
Enforce it. You gave them their chance and they didn’t take it. Pick out the toughest one in the group and fire them and the group will behave better. Next team meeting get a bunch of books by Kotter and burn them. That will show them who has the best ideas. What do they know they only work there. You have been trained obviously you have…[Read more]

Tough guy. I’m impressed.

Stating something directly is exactly that. Rather directly doesn’t make any sense. That fraud comment would be an interpretation not stating something directly.
This gifted interpretation came from?
“So SS solves all the world’s problem …….”
The question should be what have you understood?

You are probably having trouble with the logic basically because I did not say that. Will you point out specifically where that was stated please.
If you read what I posted and will agree that your post is an interpretation of my post then we should be able to agree you a very good candidate for some reading comprehension classes.

That is pretty presumptuous thinking he was sitting in front of the computer.

Ed Barkley,
You are correct, it is not about us, you or whomever. It is about the topic and you have added your triangle to the topic. You cannot defend the suggestion because the logic of your suggestion was old thinking easily one to two decades ago regardless which business school teaches it. As odd as Crosby is even he figured it out when he…[Read more]

There are eternal truths in the world the sun if it is coming up will rise in the east and then there is the Juxtaposition of logic and Aggies.

“Do you work for free and make improvements overnight, and implement the perfect solution perfectly?”
What a ridiculous question. Do you work for free while you suboptimize the process focusing on optimizing just one. Selecting an intelligent strategy doesn’t cost you more.
Why is it that people can understand the problem with OFAT and the a…[Read more]

You argued with an Aggie? Have you have heard about teaching pigs to sing?

You paid how much for that PhD?
