Why some companies are not innovative or inventive
•
0 likes•63 views
There are three key reasons why some companies are not innovative or inventive: 1. Company leaders lose focus on how to make innovation systematic and get distracted by trying to "win the race" rather than addressing real issues. 2. Management organizations that made companies successful in technological economies now interfere with attempts to be innovative in knowledge economies based on intellectual capital. 3. Lengthy processes and "stupid policies" discourage employee growth and create an innovation gap within companies. This gap is always changing as everyone remains busy competing rather than fixing underlying problems.

Why some companies are not innovative or inventive
Some companies are not innovative or inventive for several key reasons. First, company leaders lose track of how to make innovation systematic. Second, management organizations that previously led to success now interfere with attempts to be innovative in a knowledge-based economy. The document also asks the reader to consider why Abhimanyu, an expert in breaking through military formations, was unable to exit one and why Krishna did not rescue him, despite also being knowledgeable about such formations.

This document discusses reasons why some companies are not innovative. There are two key points: 1) Company leaders lose track of how to make innovation systematic. 2) Management organizations that made companies successful with technology now interfere with innovation in the knowledge economy. An example is given about Abhimanyu, an expert in military formation who could not escape the formation and was not rescued by Krishna, another expert. This highlights the importance of leadership and management support for innovation.

Black Box Thinking - The Surprising Truth About Success
In his new book Black Box Thinking, award winning journalist and best-selling author Matthew Syed shares the surprising truth about success (and why some people never learn from their mistakes).
Covering topics including marginal gains, closed loops, blame culture, the logic of failure and creating a growth culture, Matthew uses gripping case studies, exclusive interviews and really practical takeaways to explain how you can turn failure into success.
Whether developing a new product, honing a core skill or just trying to get a critical decision right, Black Box Thinkers aren't afraid to face up to mistakes. In fact, Black Box Thinkers see failure as the very best way to learn. Rather than denying their mistakes, blaming others or attempting to spin their way out of trouble, these institutions and individuals interrogate errors as part of their future strategy for success.

The mindset of an intrapreneur v1.2 26th sept-2019 - slideshare
Entrepreneurship has been a buzzword that dominates most of the conversations in our industry. Entrepreneurs are certainly a special lot who are ultra-passionate, enjoy taking risks and are usually driven by making a positive impact to the world around them.
With all the attention that entrepreneurship gets, it is arguably not possible for all of us to become one. There could be myriad of reasons for this but many of us consciously find our calling in working for the organizations. If an entrepreneur creates a vision, it's the employees who make it a reality. So this choice is absolutely fine and legitimate.
Being an employee doesn't mean that you cannot exercise the traits that make one an entrepreneur. In my career journey, I discovered that one can embrace those traits anytime at work and create a dent in the universe surrounding your organization. Simply put, Intrapreneurship is the act of behaving like an entrepreneur while working within a large organization.
In this session, I shared my experiences about this discovery of mine and dissect a few of the distinguishing qualities that make one an Intrapreneur.

An integration center in the reflex arc is a neuropathway that allows reflex actions to bypass the spinal cord and brain for protection. Neurons can be categorized by their connections, structure, and neurotransmitters. The integration center relies on convergence and divergence - a single sensory neuron diverges to connect to multiple motor neurons, so a reflex contraction occurs when the sensory neuron is activated. This completes the circuit and allows reflexes to occur rapidly without brain or spinal cord involvement.
How to Fail Successfully
This document provides tips on how to fail successfully as an entrepreneur. It discusses embracing failure and developing resilience and critical decision-making skills. Mistakes and failures should be turned into positive actions. Being prepared for challenges and learning from experiences are important. Key start-up mistakes include choosing the wrong co-founder or technology, addressing too small of a market, or incorrect pricing. Most entrepreneurs fail several times before achieving success, so failure can lead to success and the value learned is immense.

The Hard Work Paradox: Start Your Career Smarter
How do you stand out from the crowd when you're surrounded by smart, hard-working people? Stop trying to outwork everyone and start focusing on what you can do today to create momentum in your career..
How good is your boss?
The document discusses an assessment for evaluating a boss's leadership skills across 11 questions. Each question addresses a different leadership skill, such as participating, asking questions, listening, inspiring others, thinking globally, and seeking simplicity. For each question, the document provides several links to articles or resources providing evidence on why that particular skill is important for leaders. Employees are prompted to rate their boss's ability for each skill on a scale of 1 to 10. The overall document uses evidence from multiple sources to build a case for why each of the leadership skills are important and should be considered when evaluating one's boss.
8 ways to do better Mentoring …From Bad to Great Mentoring
8 ways to do better mentoring:
1. Agree on expectations and process upfront by having a kickoff meeting to clarify roles, projects, challenges and success metrics.
2. Explain that ideas are built iteratively using alignment, building, communication, and improvement cycles.
3. Encourage "forcing moments" like hackathons or pitch events to accelerate progress.
4. Clarify objectives first by understanding what would cause failure before building.
5. Encourage facing reality that most ideas fail and focusing on the biggest risks early.
6. Encourage cutting scope and focus by doing less but better through iterative improvements.
7. Bring in other people and second opinions to provide outside

BalleColumn_15October
Michael Ballé got interested in lean through studying Toyota's production processes for his sociology PhD research. He was struck by Toyota's emphasis on developing people over making parts.
Ballé believes lean is often misunderstood as only being about optimizing processes and cutting costs, when its real purpose is to develop people and enable dynamic organizational change. Within the lean community, there is too much focus on flow without first establishing quality and value streams.
If Ballé could only teach one lean tool, he would choose the pull system because it requires considering flow, kanban, leveling, and the whole system working together. His greatest concern about lean is the lack of true "senseis" or masters who can guide organizations

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

1. Ignoring Achievements: The presentation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and rewarding employees' efforts, tailored to their individual preferences.
2. Bad Hiring/Promotions & Broken Promises: It reveals the detrimental effects of poor hiring and promotion decisions, along with the erosion of trust that results from broken promises.
3. Treating Everyone Equally & Tolerating Poor Performance: This section stresses the need for fair treatment while acknowledging that employees have different needs. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing poor performance promptly.
4. Stifling Growth & Lack of Interest: The presentation highlights the importance of providing opportunities for learning and growth, as well as showing genuine care for employees' well-being.
5. Unclear Communication & Micromanaging: It exposes the frustration and resentment caused by vague expectations and excessive control, advocating for clear communication and employee empowerment.
The presentation then shifts its focus to the power of recognition and empowerment, highlighting how a culture of appreciation can fuel engagement and motivation. It provides actionable takeaways for managers, emphasizing the need to stop demotivating behaviors and start actively fostering a positive workplace culture.

M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Why some companies are not innovative or inventive
- 1. Why some companies are not innovative or inventive? There are many important factors that contributes when we talked about this company is Innovative and not others. There are few key points that stops their employee to grow due to lengthy process and stupid policies, due to that reason it create the innovation gap. Sometimes, that gap is ever-changing because everyone is busy on trying to win the race and not look at the real facts. There are many companies who thinks they are innovative but reality there are only few. First of all, there are many companies are not innovative because leaders are the ones who lost their track on how to make innovation systematic. The second reason, in management organization that made company successful in the technological economy are now major interference or hindrance as they try to become Sunil Ladekar, Posted on April 8, 2016
- 2. inventive in the knowledge economy based on intellectual capital. I have found one very good example and I would like you to think and ask this question yourself 5 times... What would you do if you are in this situation? Given that the great Abhimanyu was an expert at Chakra- Vyuha, why couldn’t he manage to come out of it? Krishna was also an expert in Chakra-Vyuha at that time, so why did he not rescue Abhimanyu?
