Organizational Fitness blends two passions of mind–leadership and fitness–and refers to the perpetual growth and productivity of a company, team, or organization based off the people that serve the company’s purpose.

Making the Transition from Tester to LeaderQASymphony
Keith Klain is one of my favorite thought leaders in the software testing space and it was inspirational to hear him share his secrets on how to transition from tester to test leader. He shared how to increase the value of yourself and your testing organization at your company.
Keith's Presentation was Split into Two Sections
- Why arn't there more people in testing with leadership positions
-Three takeaways to improve your value at your organization
Continuously re-creating market positioning is a challenge faced by every organization in today’s highly competitive market.
Progressive organizations are able to deal with this on a pro-active basis, nut most others are unable to match their internal shifts with the fast changing external market dynamics
Therefore, ongoing and periodic business transformation is not only a good to have activity, but one of the most critical business driver today.

Modern Marketing Center of Excellence ReportDemand Metric
Executive Summary
In March 2014, Demand Metric collaborated with Pardot/Salesforce to conduct a research study entitled “Marketing Report Card: Keeping our Seat at the Table” to identify how Marketing as a function is being perceived. While many of the insights drawn were expected, there were a few that were shocking.
Only 15% of organizations claimed to have an easy time justifying their marketing budget. Furthermore, just 12% of organizations felt that Marketing is perceived as a highly profitable revenue center, whereas 59% perceive Marketing as a ‘necessary’ or even ‘unnessary’ expense.
This best practices report will discuss how organizations can build a Modern Marketing Center of Excellence (MMCoE), turn these perceptions around, and drive revenue growth.

Sales Compensation Solution Acquisition Best Practices ReportDemand Metric
This guide suggests a better process for acquiring an ICM solution. For many companies, sales compensation is the largest component of Sales, General and Administrative (SG&A) costs. The monthly calculation and payment of variable sales compensation is often an arduous, manual process that must accommodate a number of exceptions and changes: rarely does a sales compensation plan start and end a fiscal year intact.
The plan must survive the attrition and addition of sales representatives. It must accurately calculate and pay commissions on time, as there are risks and trust issues involved when it doesn’t. While the sales compensation plan is, theoretically, an enabler of revenue growth, these characteristics prevent it from scaling as the business grows.
This guide will examine the problems that motivate ICM solution acquisition, the limitations of acquiring one through a traditional RFP, a recommended approach, an example project plan and conclude with a discussion of associated risks and rewards.

TOC- Theory of Constraints is a methodology developed by Eliyahu Goldratt. It is a methodology for identifying the constraint, most important limiting factor that stands in the way of achieving a goal and then systematically improving that constraint until it is no longer the limiting factor. Constraint is also referred as bottleneck. Bottleneck management is widely used terminology in manufacturing, services, construction, hospitals, retail..
How to create an effective lean daily work management systemglobalsevensteps
With Lean Daily Work Management System at the core of its operations, an organization will be able to quickly identify deviation, start solving problems and make strategy deployment a success.
A guide will demonstrate priceless to an organization during its lean excursion. Here, this lean change guide is built through five stages including the zones of worry—from training to foundation.
Quality is the result of collective effort of every employee in an organization. Quality cannot be achieved only through stringent quality control methods and use of sophisticated instruments or by highly competent quality department.
It happens that the most important elements in the daily activity of manufacturing begin with the letter “M.” In factories, we are trying to find the best possible combination of Men, Materials, Methods, Measurements, and Machines, so that we can make the best products while spending less cost. Standard operations can be defined as an effective mode of workers, materials, and machines for the sake of making high-quality products at low cost, quickly, and safely.
Lean is a way of thinking. It is a journey that is never over. It is a system framed in a collection of rules and principles. Current conditions and criteria must be examined. Some of the following 10 criteria may be more important than others to consider at the different phases of lean transformation.
Life of equipment depends not only on how well it is used but also on how well it is maintained. Various versions of maintenance techniques are in use. Total Productive Maintenance popularized by Japanese is one of the best methodology used worldwide
During one of the plant visit, we entered their canteen and found beautiful visuals for keeping the used food plates, cups, waste food etc…And in practice most of the employees mixing cups and plates, partially clearing waste foods from plate etc…
A roadmap will prove invaluable to a company during its lean journey. Here, this lean transformation roadmap is constructed through five phases including the areas of concern—from education to infrastructure.
How lean manufacturing will help to improve productivityglobalsevensteps
Lean is the term which has core philosophy of doing more and more with less and less. Lean System can also be referred as FIT without Fat. Origin of Lean is from Manufacturing set up in Japan which had always valued its scare resources which is primarily space.
How to create an effective lean daily work management system globalsevensteps
Lean Daily Management System (LDMS) comprises of fundamental components for dealing with the presentation of tasks from operations. LDMS helps in improving overall performance of the organization through effective management of key tasks and timelines.
Some of the case studies of our implementation as Lean, TQM, TPM, Six Sigma consultants in sites across India, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Saudi Arabia.
Case 1 – Industry: Material Handling equipment Manufacturing
Business Case : Not able to meet Customer demand on delivery time, due to constraint in fabrication. This resulted in adopting build to stock policy which added to inventory, last minute design corrections and rework costs
How to implement operational excellence in organizationsglobalsevensteps
Operational excellence is about achieving full potential of organisations performance. It goes beyond cutting costs. Many organisations struggle to achieve the most obvious deliverables to the customers.
Quality of products and services
Delivery performance in line with customer requirement – CRD
Fulfilment of ordered quantity.
Cost of goods in line with the market demand.
Implementing total productive maintenance in manufacturingglobalsevensteps
Total Productive Maintenance is well known in its abbreviated form – TPM has origins from Japan. It is a well structured and scientific method refined with many iterations for getting best and sustainable results.
Implementing lean maintenance system to improve factory performanceglobalsevensteps
Need for 100% uptime of machines from the production department has never gone out of demand. Day to day production needs are always to be met to meet delivery performance and revenue of the organisation. One may ask if zero maintenance time is really possible. Imagining a condition when a flight is already in the air and it needs maintenance in mid air.
Delivering high value healthcare through lean hospitalsglobalsevensteps
The demand for quality healthcare has never been so important with the recent episode of world wide challenges faced by the human race.
However, most hospitals are far from being humane and still working with outdated models. Demand and supply issues are widening the gap in providing quality healthcare.
Lean is a way of thinking. It is a journey that is never over. It is a system framed in a collection of rules and principles. Some of the following 10 criteria may be more important than others to consider at the different phases of lean transformation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to bounce back in business with improved results post covid
1. How to Bounce Back in Business With Improved Results
Post Covid-19
Four Cs which will drive Business results through Business Excellence. One of them
is not Covid-19!
Yes! Corona or COVID 19 both starting with letter C has put the entire world in a Chaotic
situation. Decades before this I wrote about 4Cs which drive any organizations to pursue the
Journey of excellence.
Below are those 4 Cs
1. Crisis
2. Customer Demand
3. Competition
4. Chairman or CEO of Vision
Here the definition of Excellence, I am limiting to Business Excellence journey using strategies
like TQM, TPM, Lean, Six Sigma, etc..
Why should some organizations start any of this journey?
Crisis
If the organization is in deep trouble, its profits are negative, Liabilities increasing, No demand
for the product, etc.. we can consider that this particular organization is in Crisis. The current
2. scenario of COVID 19 puts many organizations in Crisis mode. Many organizations thinking of
adapting practices like Lean, 5S, Kaizen, etc.. to reduce their losses.
The problem with this driver is it works until the crisis ends. The later organization thinks about
excellence only when another crisis hits!
Customer Demand
Many organizations depend on a few key customers and those Customers mandate organizations
on certain Systems. For example, some customers may ask its suppliers to implement Lean or
TPM or Six Sigma. In such cases, suppliers have no options other than accepting it.
The problem with this driver is, it works only to satisfy customers. So TPM- Total Productive
Maintenance becomes Total Paint Management (Painting the factory during customer visits) or
Total Presentation Management. ISO 9001 only lies in papers. So the organization will never
reap the benefit of the business excellence journey.
Competition
Our competitor is practicing Six Sigma, so we also should launch it! Some organizations closely
follow their competition and copy whatever they do. They are too much obsessed with
competition. The biggest danger in this approach is, what works for competition may not work
for us.
CEO/ Chairman’s Vision
Very few organizations, Business excellence is driven by Chairman or CEOs vision. There is no
crisis, no competition, no customer mandate but the leadership proactively implementing it
keeping long term results in mind. They anticipate changes and prepare the organization for the
same. It is these organizations which will survive even in Corona era
Let us look at some powerful tools offered by Lean, TPM, TQM, Six Sigma, etc.. and how they
are helping organizations during Crisis
Lean thinking talks about doing more with less – fewer Efforts, Less Resources, Less space, Less
Inventory, Less supervision, etc.. This thinking obviously brings the cost down and make the
organization more profitable. To achieve this lean provides tools like 5S, Value Stream Mapping,
Kanban, Quick Changeover, etc..
TQM organizations use a powerful tool called Hoshin Kanri. This tool makes leadership
anticipate changes and keep plan B and C in case of uncertainties. Unfortunately, very few
organizations applying it . If it is used with Balanced Scorecard, the benefits will multiply.
Related Article– Hoshin Kanri – The Secret Behind Visionary Organizations
5S is a very effective tool to create a disciplined and organized workplace. It is the dream of
many Leaders to create a good work culture and 5S is a simple but powerful tool to achieve it.
Related Article– What is Red Tag Strategy in 5S, its Application and Implementation Method
Kanban will ensure optimum inventory is maintained and improves cashflow. SMED (Single
minute Exchange of Dies) or Quick Changeover (QCO ) is companion of Kanban and JIT ( Just
in Time) Manufacturing
3. DMAIC, PDCA, QC Story all are various problem-solving methodologies which make
organizations highly competitive and profitable by reducing the cost of poor quality (COPQ)
Related Article– How to minimize stock out and improve inventory – Kanban Training
The above table gives an idea about the power of Business Excellence tools.
Finally, if organizations realize the importance of the Business Excellence Journey and start
now, there is a possibility of Foreseeing the future and prepare for uncertainties. The fourth C
– CEOs vision will help to Foresee the Cs like COVID 19 and helps to counteract the same
