Most organizations today have at least one, if not several, ‘digital transformation’ initiatives underway. What was considered leading edge 5 years ago is fast becoming an exercise in survival with recent polls indicating that 70%+ of US based companies plan to introduce a new digital technology platform, digitize their products (i.e. physical, software, and hybrid) and/or digitize their innovation management processes. As expected, some organizations are succeeding while many are struggling. What are the successful organizations doing differently? Stage-Gate International has been helping organizations digitize their innovations and their innovation management processes for 12+ years through an open software certification program launched in 2007 called Stage-Gate® Ready (digital technologies certified by innovation experts).
This article demystifies digital transformation and explores what a successful journey looks like when you use the Stage-Gate Framework, its Innovation Maturity Model and its culture change-enabling principles to manage the three most common types of digital initiatives.

Project Management the TOC Way Combining Critical Chain Project Management and the 5 Focusing Steps for astounding results.
The combination of Critical Chain Project Management and the Theory Of Constraints’ 5 focusing steps enable extraordinary results to be obtained in an unbelievably short time.
Capacity constraints in project portfolios can be identified immediately (Step 1) and exploited (Step 2) so as to instantaneously produce 2 or 3 times more (productivity & Throughput multiplied by >2).
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) can simultaneously put all projects under control, provide excellent visibility, reduce project durations by over 40%...and finish nearly all projects on time. Several recent case studies will be used to provide practical examples.
If you think all projects are doomed to be painful semi-failures, think again. If you are looking to boost your growth you need to boost your project performance, this conference will explain how easy this could be.
There are many different versions of a process, depending on your perception of the overall procedure.
For example, what the manual says will happen is going to often be a world apart from what the manager thinks happens, and what really happens.
With this in mind, it is vital to understand the procedures in place.
If you don’t understand what your process is, how will you manage it?
After all, process quality is what differentiates world class businesses from the rest.
Momentum Scaling - From Development To Deployment - KatalysisDavender Gupta
The document is a presentation about scaling startups from product development to market deployment. It discusses how scaling is a risky process that requires managing uncertainty while maximizing execution.

Achievements and Lessons Learned Introducing Large Scaled Agile DevelopmentWolfgang Richter
Presentation given at the Agile Austria Conference 2017 in Graz.
Track: Scaling Agile
"Achievements and Lessons Learned Introducing Large Scaled Agile Development"
Speakers: Stefan Wunder & Robert Dietze
The Agile Business Gap is created in medium to large organisations when "Agile" is initiated by an organisations development team. The first part of this Gap is just terminology where "agile" to a business has the dictionary meaning of "able to move quickly and easily" while "Agile" to a software development team has a very different meaning. The next part of the Gap is exposed as an "Agile" development team starts to demand a different way of operating beyond the development function and impacts everything from product management activities, business case development, financial planning, marketing messaging and operational planning.
"Agile" development is very effective at delivering smaller usable parts of a product to the market in shorter time frames, yet these shorter timeframes are not immediately compatible with the rest of the enterprise.

The document discusses various approaches and theories of leadership. It begins by exploring whether leaders are born or made, then defines leadership as influencing groups toward goals, while management uses authority to obtain compliance. Leaders are described as visionary, inspirational risk-takers concerned with effectiveness, while managers plan, organize and control in orderly, structured ways concerned with efficiency. Later theories proposed that leadership traits can be learned (behavioral theory) and that effective leadership depends on the situation and matching a leader's style to followers' readiness levels (contingency theories). Trust is also discussed as the foundation of leadership.

The document summarizes the origins and evolution of rodeos in the United States from their early informal beginnings to the modern spectacles they are today. It traces how rodeo events like bronc riding, bull riding, and steer wrestling developed from the everyday tasks of cowboys and vaqueros and were incorporated into informal contests. Over time, rodeos became more structured with standardized events, rules, and larger prizes, culminating in national organizations that helped the rodeo industry grow into a major entertainment institution, most notably in Texas where some of the largest modern rodeos are held.

This document provides an overview of Six Sigma implementation at Wipro Technologies. It discusses how Wipro adopted Six Sigma to improve quality and reduce defects. Some key points:
- Wipro was an early adopter of Six Sigma in India to drive process excellence. It trained over 15,000 employees and certified over 180 Black Belts.
- Six Sigma methodologies like DMAIC were used to improve existing processes, while DSSP focused on new processes and products.
- Implementation challenges included building a quality culture, selecting pilot projects, and training.
- Benefits included lower costs, higher productivity, and on-time deliveries above industry averages.
- Today Wipro provides Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology for process improvement originally developed by Motorola in 1986. It aims to reduce defects to 3.4 per million opportunities. General Electric adopted Six Sigma in the 1990s and achieved significant cost savings. The third generation combines Lean techniques with Six Sigma. Companies use the DMAIC framework involving Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control phases. Six Sigma projects have helped many companies realize hundreds of millions of dollars in savings through eliminating waste and reducing defects.
This document summarizes several Lean Six Sigma success stories and case studies:
1) Savings of 4 crores/year for a household products company through Design for Six Sigma. Cycle time and cost reductions of $100,000/year for an electronics company. Yield and defect improvements saving $100,000/year for a plastic moulding company. Cost savings of $112,500/year for a process equipment company.
2) OEE and productivity improvements saving $4 million/year for a plastic packaging company in the UAE through integrated Lean Six Sigma implementation.
3) Cost reductions of $1.75 million/year through Design for Six Sigma for redesigning electrical and smoke products.
Six Sigma is a methodology that uses data and statistical analysis to improve processes by reducing defects. It was developed by Motorola in the 1980s and aims for 3.4 defects per million opportunities. There are two main methodologies - DMAIC for improving existing processes and DMADV for designing new processes. DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. DMADV stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify. Companies save hundreds of thousands of dollars per project by training Black Belts to lead Six Sigma projects and reduce variation.
Wipro implemented Six Sigma to improve quality and drive continuous process improvement. Six Sigma aims for near perfection with no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Wipro trained over 15,000 employees in Six Sigma, deployed over 1,000 projects, and saw significant benefits including reduced defects, increased on-time project delivery from 55% to 91%, and cost savings of over $230,000 per project. Moving forward, Wipro's challenges include sustaining improvements and transforming Six Sigma from a quality tool into an overall business methodology.
The document discusses reasons for adopting Agile practices over traditional waterfall methods for software development projects. It notes that 38% of organizations frequently use Agile due to issues with requirements gathering and changing project objectives with waterfall. Agile allows for more flexibility and quicker delivery by taking an iterative approach with prioritized features rather than fixed timelines. However, Agile may not always be suitable and a hybrid approach combining Agile and waterfall elements can work for more complex or long-term projects. Successful adoption of Agile requires organizational culture change and preparation through training, selecting the right methodology, and executive sponsorship.
The document discusses using Six Sigma to accelerate high maturity implementation of CMMI. It proposes a 4-step process for quantitative analysis: 1) establish process stability and capability, 2) understand the underlying process distribution, 3) identify regressions and residuals for stable processes, and 4) generalize regressions into a model. The 4-step process provides rigor for analysis, laying a foundation for high maturity. An example applies the process to the "cost of poor quality" metric.
The document provides an overview of Six Sigma, including:
1) Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to process improvement that aims to reduce defects. It uses statistical tools and methodology applied to projects selected for high impact.
2) Major companies like GE and Motorola have successfully adopted Six Sigma, achieving significant cost savings and quality improvements.
3) Six Sigma aims for near-perfect processes, with less than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Achieving six sigma quality levels can have substantial financial benefits for companies.
This document provides information about the Asian Downstream Week 2015 conference organized by Downstream Asia. The conference will take place from October 28-30, 2015 at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore, and will feature three co-located conferences on refining, petrochemicals, operational excellence, and supply chain & logistics. The document outlines the program schedule, list of speakers, session topics, sponsorship opportunities, and exhibitor floorplan. It also encourages downstream professionals to attend the conference to learn about strategies to improve operational efficiency from case studies and gain insights on the latest technologies and solutions.
The document discusses approaches to maximize the effectiveness of process improvement programs and appraisals. It suggests combining process improvement initiatives into a single organizational development initiative addressing both CMMI and People CMM. An integrated appraisal approach using SCAMPI for both models is recommended. Establishing an integrated process improvement team and keeping the number of individuals responsible for process improvement small can help minimize costs and maximize resources.
