Building a Collaborative Culture: Lessons from Rebuild by DesignCarter Craft
On the 5th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy I made an effort to reflect on public outreach and community engagement practices that are undertaken as part of public infrastructure projects. Following the dramatic flood of 2012, billions of dollars are being spent. Is the public's voice and are public values built-in to the planning and design process? What are some best practices and lessons learned? Thanks to the many friends and collaborators who contributed to this. I truly believe Resiliency can save Democracy. I also worry we believe we cannot have one without the other. Thanks especially to the Netherlands Water Partnership whose invitation to Amsterdam to make this presentation at the International Water Week 2017 was the catalyst. Now the story continues to evolve...

Project Storyboard: Reducing Cycle Time for Bid Tab Creationby 33%GoLeanSixSigma.com
Think it's impossible to make a significant change in government? Well, it's not easy, but GoLeanSixSigmna.com Black Belt Pamela Kuehling made a real difference from the inside. She overturned countless "honest wrong beliefs" with facts and data by modeling the Lean Six Sigma approach in her work and won over the doubters.
Initially the overall procurement process was the focus, but when that proved to be too big, she scoped it down to a more manageable project that can now be the basis for an expanded improvement. Her improvement was meaningful, but a bigger victory was in bringing critical and logical thinking into an environment often impacted by less scientific influences!
Value Stream Mapping is an essential tool to help understand the current state and design the future state of a process. Learn more about why this kind of mapping is fundamental for a big picture view of an entire Value Stream and for improving transactional and manufacturing processes.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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 Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Today’s topic is about Project Bloopers & Blunders and besides talking about them, so strategies to avoid them.
Transition: But first let’s define what we mean by bloopers and blunders
Today’s topic is about Project Bloopers & Blunders and besides talking about them, so strategies to avoid them.
Transition: But first let’s define what we mean by bloopers and blunders
In 1915, due to the disaster of the Titanic, the government passed the federal Seaman’s Act, which required The Eastland, a Great Lakes passenger steamer, to retrofit its upper decks with a complete set of lifeboats.
The additional weight of the lifeboats worsened the existing issue of the Eastland being too top heavy.
When passengers congregated on the port side, the Eastland rolled over and sank 20 feet from the wharf on Southbank of the Chicago River – just 3 years after the wreck of the Titanic.
Money: The change might lose the company money
- [need example] – Offer a 2 for 1 to build volume but demand outstrips supply – co loses money or reputation for running out
Hacker: The change might expose customers to fraud
- Common issue in financial services – customer convenience = hacker convenience
Safety: The change might expose workers or customer to physical harm
- Latest issue with the Galaxy Phone – (overheats when charging and explodes)
Aggravation
- New iPhone and loss of port for earbuds
Reputation
- Any hits to the above can result in a loss of reputation
Personal Story:
YEAR: 2008 – iPhone just released in fall of 2007
Staying at Westin – nicer Starwood property
When I got to my room I noticed they had replaced all the old “Alarm A/Alarm B” bedside clocks with large, sleek, stainless columns of technology that served as both alarm clock and musical docking station. Just looking at them I felt privileged, pampered and sophisticated. What could go wrong?
In terms of my own habits at the time (I had no iPhone – yet), I systematically requested a wake-up call. Wake-up calls hadn’t been automated yet and, not having received the wake-up call a few crucial times, I made it a practice to both request a wake-up call and set the bedside alarm clock.
I approached this attractive new gizmo and scanned it for some telltale “Alarm” buttons but quickly decided I was out of my league. I called the front desk to get some help, and they sent a lovely woman from Housekeeping to help me. We both gave it the college try to no avail so she called a few of her colleagues in to see if they could help. After a few more attempts we flagged down a gentleman from Maintenance – the guy with a belt full of keys and tools. He came in, took one look and said he’d be right back. He returned with one of those “Alarm A/Alarm B” relics from a supply room somewhere. Problem solved.
, what about the other guests? Did they know how to work the mini R2D2? Did they try and fail? Did they do what I did and engage the very willing Front Desk, Housekeeping and Maintenance for the better part of an hour? What else could have gone wrong?
This is exactly the thinking behind the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis or FMEA.
Think about the manned space missions
Trial and Error was not an option - think about launching astronauts to test if they could make it back safely
Had to get a man to the moon and bring him home “safely”
Had to think through all the possibilities and risks
Plan ahead – led to all the backup systems you saw in the Apollo 13 Movie
BUT – everyone can plan ahead, think through potential risks
It’s a spreadsheet
It’s can seem rather daunting – what’s a “failure mode”?
The name gets confused with FEMA – the org. responsible for Hurricane Katrina trailers – not good
Instead of walking through it to explain it – we’ll use an example
In my case that would mean I’m late to teach a class…or run a webinar
The FMEA comes with scales
There are many standards out there but they need to address the process being considered
On a scale from 1 – 10 (where 10 is the worst) how would you rate that?
In my case, it would expose me to disruption – and there would be no warning – that’s a 10 – worst case
But some process failures could result in bodily harm so the scale has to be adapted to your process
Let’s see what your scales might look like…
There are a lot of scales out there to choose from so Google FMEA Severity Scale to get some examples to work with.
Let’s take a look at our current progress.
We’ve assed one failure mode and one potential effect.
And we’ve rated the severity – according to our scale – as a 10
Let’s move on to the next phase of risk assessment
Potential Causes provide clues to how often it would happen.
In this case it’s user error, or user inexperience.
I needed training!
Now we go to the Occurrence Scale to assess how often it might happen
Based on the cause – in this case user inexperience,
On a Scale of 1-10 – How often would that happen?
Occurrence Scales are different from Severity
There don’t need as much customization
Here you can either go by Time Period
Or you can go by “per item failure rate” – which would apply to production
Take a look at this scale and think about the Ranking for this situation…
Let’s use the poll to come to a conclusion
This is similar to what you would do with your own teams
Go to the scale and discuss the proper ranking based on the cause of the failure
In this case, there would be inexperienced guests more than once per day – another “10”
Now we enter that into the FMEA and move on to the issue of “detection”
They key here is figuring out if there is a way to know about the failure before it impacts the guest
Is it obvious?
Do we conduct some kind of monitoring of this process?
Would it show up in a system somewhere?
The harder it is to detect the failure the higher the score
Let’s go to the Detection Scale…
What about our ability to detect this failure?
Would the hotel know about this problem before a guest came racing through the lobby, hair in disarray proclaiming, “I’m late!”?…
On a scale from 1 – 10 how would you rate that?
10 – almost impossible to detect
And monitoring would be intrusive – can you imaging housekeeping knocking on your door to come check if you’d set your alarm properly?
And in this case, housekeeping didn’t know how to work these gadgets either!
The template automatically multiples Severity x Occurrence x Detection to get something called a Risk Priority Number
The worst it can be is 1000 – and this this case, it’s the worst it can be!
As you assess all the potential failure modes and all the effects, this RPN will help to prioritize which risks to address first
The next steps would be to come up with some plans for reducing the risk.
One idea is to leave the guests instructions
We’ve assigned it to the Housekeeping Manager
And we also need to record what was done and when
This should reduce the severity, the frequency or improve the detection – let’s assess
In this case:
It’s still just as bad if a guests misses their appointment
But with instructions we’re able to drop the occurrence to a 7 – maybe it would happen once a month if a guest missed the instructions
Detection is still a 10 – nobody is checking on the guests
Shortly thereafter I read about another hotel chain that had tried installing a similarly upscale bedside clock and had quickly opted to replace them with earlier models.
Starwood eventually followed suit as well.
If I use another Lean Six Sigma Tool, The 5 Whys, my guess would be that their main clientele were a little older and still not as comfortable with emerging technology.
If teenagers had the cash to stay at the Westin they would probably have nailed it.
Work from left to right
Work through all the different ways a step or feature could fail
Prioritize the risks (higher numbers = greater risks)
Address the biggest risks first
Design action steps to deal with the risk
Make those part of the process
Reassess the Risk Priority Number
This is only one row – most FMEAs include multiple potential ways to fail and lots of different effects
The RPN helps the user to focus their efforts to the biggest risks
I want you to think about something – Imagine you’re in charge of fire safety for a small hotel chain
What kinds of things are you going to be concerned with?
Think for a moment and then write in the question area the one of the elements you’d be dealing with – take a second
So I’m looking and I can see things like:
Fire extinguishers
Smoke alarms
Escape routes
But now lets think about two ways to deal with fire (click)
Most of these are contingency plans – how to lessen the impact of the fire
What about preventing the fire in the first place?
A few of you mentioned:
- Building materials
- Storage of flammable liquids
The goal is to build prevention right into the process where possible -
Based on the idea that almost all errors are human errors
10 Error Types:
Forgetfulness – lack of concentration
Misunderstanding – jumping to conclusion
Misidentification – poor labeling (Visual Management)
Lack of Skill – inadequate training (MY ISSUE!)
Willful Errors – using shortcuts (taping the handle of the lawnmower)
Inadvertent Errors – absentmindedness (hit send instead of spellcheck)
Slowness – delayed reaction or judgment (Driver errors)
Lack of Standards – Inconsistent methods (why we use Standard Work in LSS)
Surprise Errors – Unexpected situations (pilots practicing stalls)
Intentional Errors – Sabotage (rare)
Hard Poka Yokes prevent people from making the mistake or error in the first place so it will never lead to a defect
Soft Poka Yokes warn people not to make the mistake but can’t stop them if they choose to do it anyway
Imagine the alarm that goes off until you fasten your seat belt – you can ignore it and drive unbuckled - Soft
Or the light that goes on to tell you you’re low on gas – you can ignore that too - Soft
But you can’t take the keys out until the car is in park -
And you can’t fit a diesel nozzle in your gas tank unless the car takes diesel – those are hard poka yokes
Topical issue is the risk of texting while driving
The failure mode is an accident so the severity is a 10, and it’s happening more and more
there’s no warning to remind drivers that looking at their phone could cause an accident
A recent article pointed out the makers of cell phones have the ability of creating a Hard Poka Yoke to prevent people from texting while driving (Apple has a patent for technology designed to prevent texting while driving, but it has not deployed it.)
The wreck of the Eastland was one from the last century, Let’s take a look at some truly famous and public cases of unintended consequences
What if they had used the FMEA?
What if they had come up with Poka Yokes?
What if they built preventive measures or contingency plans?
Prohibition
This is hard to imagine, but worth considering, as we continue to battle drug trafficking.
Basically, the enactment of the National Prohibition Act of 1919 led to a large underground network of back room distilleries, illicit supply chains and vast quantities of illegal alcohol all facilitated by increasingly organized crime syndicates.
The immense profits enabled the expansion of criminal enterprises and precipitated such an increase in violence that President Roosevelt saw fit to repeal the act in 1933.
But organized crime had already created deep lasting roots.
Unlike the kiosks, they couldn’t repeal the new mob structure
Wolves
This is a case with very positive unintended consequences.
By 1995, the deer population of Yellowstone park, without predators, had grown to such an extent that they had wiped out most of the vegetation.
Efforts to control the deer had failed so they reintroduced a small number of wolves
Just the presence of the wolves changed the behavior of the deer
– they steered clear of open valley’s and gorges which resulted in the immediate regrowth of vegetation –
trees alone grew to five times their height in 3 years.
This created a habitat for mice, rabbits and birds and profoundly improved the eco-system.
But the biggest surprise was that the new vegetation reduced erosion, narrowed the banks and changed the path of the rivers.
A small number of wolves managed to change the physical geography of Yellowstone Park!
We’ll leave you a link to the short video showing the transformation if you’re interested – it’s very wild to see it.
So now you have two new tools to deal with risk
FMEA and Mistake-Proofing are great combo tools.
I recommend using them both any time you make changes to a process
You can also use it on an “as is” process to determine if there are current risks you could modify
It’s not just for NASA anymore!
