Casual Articles - Leading Change - I'll Be Handing Out Decoder Rings at the end of the Presentation
Are you a Downey homeowner or a business owner who has recently learned that you have a mold problem? Whether you notice your home’s or business’s mold on your own or with the assistance of a mold inspector, you will want to get your mold problem taken care of. The only problem is that many Downey homeowners and business owners are concerned with the costs; however, the
Basically, we can find anything that has ‘graphic design’ (in term of composition on a surface) in our daily basis. For example, take a look at your shirt, you can see the composition on it (buttons, pocket(s), motifs, color(s)). Or try to find any other items, let say… your television, it consist of composition as well (the screen, the button(s), etc.). It also happens
My guy walked in, sly smile on his face, placed his slides on the table and began.
"It appears we'll start with BTO (build to order, it was a world of acronyms), but, we'll do it in three levels. That will take us from where we are today, which we all know is NRBTO) (not really build to order) to where we want to go. Then, we’ll go on to CTO (configure to order). We will end up with RBTO (really build to order). I'll be handing out decoder rings at the end of this presentation."
The sad thing about this story is that the actual plan really did include BTO, CTO and RTBO. The only one my guy made up was NRBTO, or not really build to order. Our charade with building our computers to order, like Dell, had gone on for two years. It was a series of false starts that had driven hope out the back door. Everyone knew we were so far from that reality we couldn’t even dream it. Everyone that is, but our illustrious leaders.
You see here was a change project that was launched after the three before it were scrapped because nothing happened. The CEO was irate that the young man from Houston, Michael Dell, was over in Austin kicking our butts with his build to order strategy. The senior VP of Op's, my boss, launched several ‘BTO’ projects to calm the CEO down. This one proved nothing more than a scud missile like Saddam used to use. It ended with actual computer reports th
Out-sourcing your Catalog Management is a big step for any organization. It sounds great in theory, but the execution is not always clear. What exactly can you expect from the service provider? How does it really work? …and most importantly: Is it the right thing to do?Often the decision to out-source your Catalog Management function can turn out to be more a

Planning the corporate party may be a job that is no one's idea of a good assignment but the party itself can be fun. Striking the delicate balance between light socializing and appropriate corporate conduct is the tricky part.Most corporate functions are of the meet and greet or annual meeting variety but there are also corporate retirement or holiday parties.

Why is there a business cycle? Someone once noted that people could tolerate any condition except the possibility of one. This one condition is prolong periods of prosperity. Incredible as it seems, this observation contains more than just a kernel of truth, and helps to explain where we are in our current business cycle.When the economy starts to recover from
When you’re managing change you can't pretend. There is a true saying that goes … to change, you gotta' change. That simply means at the end of the day, something is different. The people in your organization know the difference. The case above was a complete farce and it was being managed by the vaunted boys from McKinsey. It was a travesty. And it drove all hope from the building.
As the leader of change you have to make sure that the project you’re rolling out is real. You have to insure that it isn’t like Alfred E. Newman, yep, the one from Mad Magazine described when he said, “Just because everything’s different doesn’t mean anything’s changed”. You cannot permit the organization you represent to play charades. It destroys morale, wastes money and is downright wrong. Sometimes the cost is even more than money.
When you're tempted to turn your head and think that it doesn’t matter, think about Enron. Think about how many lives were destroyed and dreams crushed because no one spoke up. Vow to never let it happen on your watch. Ever!
