A Real Challenge to Many Lean Six Sigma or Change Programs ConvertedLean Scape
In the Lean Strategy, there is a great early chapter about how Lean Thinking is fundamentally different from the tradition financial management thinking.

FROM PMO TO STRATEGIC PMO - AN INDIRECT APPROACHPhilippe Husser
Managing effectively a portfolio of strategic initiatives is a key success factor. However too often we, PMO, are considered as paper tigers. Truth to be told, too often we, PMO, also lack the required skills.
However, there is an approach which allows PMO to acquire skills and demonstrate benefits. This is the indirect approach. The indirect approach is the only one working in large complex organizations.
This presentation focuses on three points:
• First we will explore three key domains of knowledge I explored myself with great benefits
• Second we will share seven snapshots of what I experienced in terms of indirect approach as a PMO at Michelin
• Third I will share with you three takeaways for PMOs to learn and apply
The three domains to explore are:
• Complexity, and a few key characteristics of complex adaptive systems
• Indirectness, and two samples of direct and indirect approaches
• Strategy, and differences in two key schools of strategic thought
The indirect approach will then be walked-through seven real life snapshots:
• Program Cause and Approach
• Local Relays
• First Benefits
• Single Version of Truth
• Tipping Point
• Strategic Gap
• Strategic Initiatives
From this journey, we will share three key takeways to learn and apply by PMO:
• First, learn and apply Complex Adaptive Systems and Chaos Theory
• Second, learn and apply Dual-Mode Strategies
• Third, learn and apply Human Dynamics and how to develop an Appealing WIIFM Cause and an Alliance you Lead from Behind

UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
Unit Lesson
Introduction
Welcome to Unit I. This unit introduces project management and how project management is used to achieve
the organization’s strategic objectives and goals. Project management is not new and has been around for
hundreds of years. However, in recent years, project management has become more defined and focused on
specific principles, processes, tools, and techniques. All of these areas became known as the body of
knowledge (BOK), which is now used for project management. These traditional practices, along with new
and innovative practices, have taken project management to new levels in terms of what the BOK is able to
produce for the organization. Before tackling how project management can be used to meet the organization’s
goals, it is important to understand the difference between projects and tasks. Let’s get started.
Projects and Value Creation
Before any type of activity is started, it is essential for the organization to identify the activity as either a
project or a task. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI, 2017), a project is a temporary
endeavor und.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

9. How would you rate the relationship between
project managers and business analysts in your
current or last project?
• Very good - they work productively together, building
on one another's strengths.
• OK - it could be better, but on the whole they get the
job done.
• Poor - there are real problems in the relationship that
affect the work done
• Awful - they don't work together effectively.
• I don't know
14. “In my organization, PMs are mere
administrators with little insight about the
intricacies of what is required. I have spent
literally hours trying to explain my PM the
why of something for him to respond: 'But
this will be done by tomorrow, right?' Thus I
do not bother now. I use passive-aggressive
techniques & yoga to counteract the
frustration.”
15. “The PM is under pressure to get the project
finished on time. The BA (me!) can see
opportunities for delivery of significant
organizational efficiencies being missed by
an overly ambitious timeline. The PM has
very narrow view, whereas focus of BA is
probably more enterprise-wide. ”

18. “As a PM I often had the experience that
BAs stay at an academic level and are not
always in touch with the real world.”
“BAs have an agenda, which is not aligned
to the project. They get upset when they
have to work within given constraints.”

Who said this?
“For me, it's not about project success,
it's about business success.
I'd rather can a bad project
than drive it to an ‘on budget, on scope,
on time’ delivery of negligible benefit.”
I will talk through the plan and introduce them to the graphics that I will be using. They don’t need to read all the details in this picture as it will give them an overview that I will talk them through quickly. It shows that there will be interaction and a lot of time for Q&A.
These were requested.
Replace with picture…
This is where I will introduce myself and why I’m the person to be presenting on BA/PM friction!
I would far rather draw this live in front of the group as it is more engaging, but I suppose you need it in PowerPoint for review.
I find that these hand-drawn graphics work really well with groups.
Key points here: I have been both a BA and PM, so see both perspectives. My focus is success in tricky projects, hence the need for both disciplines. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, around the world. I’ve written three books on facilitation, people in PM and BA leadership.
Let’s just check up on the PMI definitions for the two roles, to make sure we’re really clear…

Now for BA – lots more words!

Take from BABOK v 3
At this point, I will ask the people in the room to put up their hands if they consider themselves Project Managers, then Business Analysts, then both.
The roles of the Project Manager and the Business Analyst are complementary but different.
PM focus on project scope – what we are going to need to do to deliver the solution.
BA focus on solution scope – what the solution needs to be/do.
Picture adapted from Suzanne Robertson’s chapter ‘Working with the Project Manager’ in ‘Business Analysis and Leadership’. Drawn by Vanessa Randle.
All sounds lovely, but what happens in reality?
But too often sparks fly!
I will ask people to choose a response and then do a poll by show of hands.
This slide gives a view of the range of countries involved in the survey! The size is related to the number of submissions from each country.
At this point I will introduce the survey, introducing the background (ESI webinar in 2014 with >200 people). Then survey this year with nearly 200 people from over 20 countries.
How does this compare to our results?
The PMs tended to rate the relationships rather higher than the BAs. Also PMs rated the relationship higher than programme managers and BA managers. See the paper for details.
This is where I will ask them for the causes of the tension that does exist. Work in groups…
Change to individual…
One of the issues that came up quite strongly is that the BA role is growing and changing, and that this is not always realized by PMs.
See the paper:
Business analysis has grown rapidly over the last decade, driven by the rise in complexity of projects, outsourcing and even the global downturn. Projects are more likely to have multiple stakeholders, ambiguity around project features, resources and phases and/or even unknown project features, resources and phases, all of which make requirements elicitation more difficult. Poor requirements and/or missing requirements are leading causes of project failure (Oullette et al, 2014). Outsourcing in the early years of this century forced many companies to improve their internal requirement elicitation and documentation to ensure that their outsourcing partners could work to provide working solutions. The downturn meant that less money was available to spend on projects, so known causes of failure, such as poor requirements definitions and elicitation came into focus.
The relationship of many project managers with their business analysis colleagues has changed too. Years ago, the business analyst was typically a junior member of the project team, probably reporting into the project manager and seeing the project manager role as a future career step. Nowadays, business analysts can stay out of project management throughout their careers, even as they rise to strategic positions in their organizations. Business analysts are leaders in their own right, working alongside the project manager. The relationship between the two roles has had to change. Both have a leadership role to play on the project and this can be difficult for both sides, especially for those project managers who were used to the old ways and haven’t yet adapted.
When the author contacted project managers and asked them to comment on their project manager/business analyst relationship, many responded that ‘they didn’t work with business analysts’ and some had not heard of business analysis as a project role!
The author shared the survey widely in social media in both project management and business analysis groups. Interestingly, business analyst responses outnumbered project manager responses by more than two to one. This might indicate that business analysts found the topic more engaging. Interestingly, almost half of those who identified as project managers also identified as business analysts, indicating that often one person often covers both roles.
Oh dear!
Uh oh!
Tensions caused by the PM – I will go through one by one.
Penny will describe how a Project Manager can appear to the BA to be like a racehorse, straining for the finish, and wearing blinkers to stop other things distracting them.
Now it is the turn of the PMs to talk about BAs….
There is much less consensus about tensions caused by BAs. See the lower percentages than the PM slide.
Penny will talk through each one.
Penny describes how a Business Analyst can appear to be going off investigating everything, without an awareness of the limits of cost and time.
Some issues came not from PM or BA but from the organization as a whole, so the organisational set up can really cause problems for the PM/BA relationship.
There is one!
What sustains productive partnerships – in order of results.
Penny will go through.
Ways organizations can help the PM BA friction to go away.
Penny will go through her BA leadership model, from which PMs can learn a lot too!
When we talk about business analysis leadership, we mean that business analysts need to step up to leadership themselves first, then be a real leader alongside you on the project, in a complimentary way. They are the person in the project who considers what is best for the organisation and beyond. Here’s a view of the different levels of business analysis leadership from the author’s book (Pullan and Archer, 2013).
This research has shown that trust and respect form a great basis for a productive relationship, so start off that way by trusting your business analyst as the fellow leader that they can be.
Penny explains how far too often, BAs and PMs seem to use a different language. She then goes on to describe how each view scope as an example. So they need to develop a common understanding and strive to use a common language.
Good communications and mutual understanding came out very high in the survey. By developing a common understanding of the project and of each other’s roles, with a shared use of language, you can build a strong rapport to serve your project together. Let’s look at a couple of examples of this in a bit more detail.
Too often, project managers and business analysts use slightly different terms or, worse still, use the same word in different ways. One example of the latter is the word scope. Project managers will think of scope as all the tasks that need to be done to complete the project, defined by the work breakdown structure. This is project scope. Business analysts use the same word, scope, to mean the boundary between what’s included and what’s excluded from the solution. This is solution scope or product scope. Can you see the difficulties this can cause? So make sure that you understand the business analyst’s perspective and their language and how they use it. Then help them to do the same for you.
As a project manager, consider how useful it would be if your business analyst colleague came to you with all the requirements work planned out in a work breakdown structure, with risks identified, effort assessed and a potential schedule worked out. Then you could work together to come up with the final version to be incorporated into the overall project plan. The first time you do this, you may well need to help your business analyst, as this requires project management skills, but over time it will strengthen your relationship and you’ll come up with better plans.
There are many areas where project managers and business analysts can work together powerfully.
Risk management is one such area. The project manager is in charge of managing risk, however the business analyst is likely to have the facilitation skills and the close relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, which are useful for identifying risks and facilitating the risk management process. The two roles work together and complement each other.
Another complementary area is communications. By building a communications plan alongside your business analyst colleague, you’ll be able to tap into their deeper knowledge of individual stakeholders and their needs.
In a partnership like this where tension is possible, it’s a really good idea to use a RACI matrix to ensure that you are both completely clear on who is responsible for doing each action, who is accountable, who needs to be consulted and who needs to be informed.
In the survey, the answers remind us that the project manager and business analyst relationship doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Your context matters and your organization can help or hinder how the two roles work together.
As a project manager, if you are appointed before the business analyst, push for and encourage your managers to provide a business analyst from the very start. Do you have a clear vision from your senior stakeholders? If not, how can you facilitate this? Is the governance for your project clear? If not, ask questions and clarify things like escalation paths before they are needed.
If your organization doesn’t have clear roles and responsibilities for the project manager and business analyst, then as a minimum, discuss and agree these with your business analyst right at the start.
As your relationship with your business analyst develops, make sure you take time away from project tasks to be able to reflect on how the project is going. What’s going well? Build on it; do more of it. What would make things better for your business analyst colleague? Why not give those things a try? What would make things better for you? Why not discuss this and agree how you’ll do things differently in the future. As the quote earlier in this paper from our survey says, ‘Cake helps!’ Spend time together, reflecting, learning and improving both your relationship and the effectiveness of your work together, towards the ultimate goal of project success.
Think and discuss with your table what you will do differently to build a fabulously productive partnership between your BAs and your PMs?
You have x minutes.
Who cares? Surely we are in this game together to deliver projects that make a difference.
All the best doing just that.
