The document appears to be a series of web page links to an eship magazine from Cornell University for the winter of 2008-2009. However, the actual content of the magazine pages is not provided. The summary only describes the structure of the document as a series of sequential page links, but no other meaningful information can be gleaned from the document itself.

Digital and communications technologies are feeding an increasingly faster rate-of-change, causing transformative structural changes in the global economy. The U.S. Medical Device industry is not immune. Commoditization, revolutionary changes in the delivery and payment of healthcare, increasing government interference limiting innovation, an aging global population, and the threat of aggressive new market entrants threaten its global leadership role in a growing global healthcare market are challenging all incumbents. The victors will be those who create change by immersing themselves in the ambiguities of the external environment, sort through them before things are settled and known, set a path, and steer the organizations decisively into it. In his talk, Tom will examine trends and bends in the road; then extrapolate insights for the medical device professional on how to survive and thrive during this tumultuous period of change and opportunity. He will also provide insights gained over thirteen years while assisting over one thousand executives, managers, and professionals who have chosen to reinvent themselves to make better use of their gifts in response to the changing landscape.
Problem solving in organization: Challenges that appear during the process
The document discusses common challenges in manufacturing organizations and proposes an alternative approach to problem solving. Traditionally, managers spend much of their time solving immediate problems and "fires" without addressing the root causes. This leads to repetitive issues. The alternative is to empower employees by involving operators and supervisors in problem solving. When employees understand the "why" behind decisions, they can find their own solutions rather than just being told the "what" and "how." This helps eliminate underlying problems instead of constantly fighting symptoms.
Problem solving & decision making at the workplace
This document discusses problem solving and decision making at the workplace. It outlines a problem solving model involving 6 steps: 1) recognizing and defining the problem, 2) gathering information, 3) analyzing the information, 4) developing and selecting solutions, 5) implementing the solution, and 6) evaluating the solution. It also describes a fishbone analysis tool used to identify root causes of problems by categorizing potential causes. Key aspects of effective problem solving include using a systematic approach, involving others, and evaluating solutions. The document also discusses making routine, adaptive, and innovative decisions and ingredients for good decision making such as following a process, involving teams, being creative and objective.
BIM@Tauw
Technologie evolueert steeds sneller. Op alle niveaus van het ontwerp worden we uitgedaagd door steeds meer geavanceerde digitale technologieën, soms geleend uit andere bedrijfstakken. Het ontwerpproces en de enorme hoeveelheid informatie die beschikbaar is om te manipuleren en te verkennen is eindeloos.
Building information Modeling is een proces. Sterker nog, momenteel is het voor veel bedrijven een veranderproces. Dat geldt ook voor u, de architect, de ingenieur, de aannemer en toeleverancier. We hebben er allemaal mee te maken.

Week 5 Part 2: Academic Problem Solving 2015 (Bus)
This document outlines the agenda for a 2015 pre-sessional programme week focused on academic problem solving. It includes an example problem of creating a Gantt chart in an unfamiliar software. Students will discuss problems they have faced and work through an activity to solve a typical student problem in pairs or groups. Homework involves bringing feedback to advising sessions, and extra support options are provided.

Este documento habla sobre la importancia de la privacidad y la seguridad en línea. Explica que los usuarios deben tomar medidas para proteger su información personal en Internet, como usar contraseñas seguras y actualizadas, y estar atentos al phishing. También menciona que las empresas deben implementar medidas de seguridad sólidas para proteger los datos de los clientes.
Building a problem solving organization
The document discusses how managers should focus on building problem solving systems and capabilities within their teams rather than trying to directly solve all problems themselves. It emphasizes that the manager's role is to identify and address barriers that prevent team progress by developing a strong problem solving culture, methods, and management systems that enable problems to surface and be continually solved at all levels of the organization. Effective problem solving requires changing behaviors to more openly surface even hard problems, thoroughly understand root causes, and solve issues collaboratively across boundaries.
Graph processing - Graphlab
The document describes GraphLab, a new framework for parallel machine learning. GraphLab allows parallel processing of large-scale graph problems more efficiently than general data-parallel systems by exploiting the graph structure. It uses a vertex-centric programming model that allows update functions to read and modify data within a vertex's scope, addressing limitations of the Pregel model. GraphLab implements consistency models to ensure correctness and employs techniques like graph partitioning and distributed locking to enable parallel execution across multiple machines.
Changing behaviors through daily actions
This document discusses how to change organizational culture through daily actions and principles of lean. It emphasizes that culture powerfully influences behavior and the success of lean implementation depends on cultural support. It recommends focusing on principles like respect, humility, and continuous improvement. The document outlines methods to learn and apply these principles such as training, coaching with a common language, and creating experiences for reflection. Leaders are called to action to live the principles themselves and be the change they want to see in their organization.
Supervisor Safety Training
The document outlines the responsibilities of supervisors in ensuring workplace safety. It discusses the importance of accident prevention, the supervisor's role in training employees, setting a good example, and enforcing safety rules. Supervisors are also responsible for accurately investigating accidents and complying with OSHA regulations. As long as supervisors properly train workers, document safety activities, and do not ignore safety issues, they will avoid legal problems.
A3 Management: Effective Problem Solving via PDSA

For more information, see Chapter 4 of the Shingo Research Award winning The Outstanding Organization: http://bit.ly/TOObk
A3 management is a fundamental Lean management practice for making effective improvement, solving problems, developing people, and building a learning organization.
While this disciplined approach generates more effective and sustainable results than traditional problem solving, it’s arguably the process of developing skilled coaches that carries the greatest organizational benefits -- including the cultural shifts needed to accelerate transformation.
With practice, the organization becomes more responsive, focused, and effective in delivering value to its customers and attracting and retaining talent.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• The mechanics of using PDSA (plan-do-study-adjust) for solving problems.
• The vital role coaching plays in building organization-wide problem solving capabilities.
• How to break the “telling” habit that disrespects a worker’s creative potential.
• How to systematically build coaching capabilities to accelerate learning.
8 Wastes
The document discusses identifying and eliminating waste from manufacturing processes using Lean principles. It defines value and eight types of waste: overproduction, inventory, transportation, motion, processing, defects, waiting, and underutilized talent. Methods for finding waste include observing processes, mapping material flow, and introducing one-piece flow. Lean tools like 5S, standard work, and quick changeovers can help remove waste once it is identified. The overall goal is optimizing value and flow to meet customer demand without waste.
