culture, who needs it?


The culture of a workforce cannot be overlooked. Day-to-day actions and decisions of every individual are largely influenced by the culture of the organization. The reputation of any organization’s ethics, integrity, and professionalism can be either shattered or lifted based on a single interaction with an individual worker.



Work environments devoid of motivation lead to safety concerns, sub-optimal work output, and complacency.  Science reveals several motivational outlooks that people might experience at work every day.  Three are optimal motivational outlooks -aligned, integrated, and inherent -which imply positive intrinsic motivation.  Service, in all industries, is an art and the canvas is expressed in a way that an individual approaches an issue and the perception of expertise the client has with that individual.  Organizations dealing with work activities understand this, and that the perception of their company is all about the experience; those touch points are with schedulers and field workers.  Seeming to do is not doing, just like the freedom of choice without guidance is likely to produce lackluster results.  Through the utilization of meritocratic and queuing technologies, we address cultural items such as: a transient workforce; those seeking social approval; corporate climbers; the freedom of choice; and instant gratification and feedback.  We can achieve sustained motivation across numerous workforces and multiple industries, you just need to step back away from your operation to see a different perspective.  Open your mind and differentiate yourself in the market!

why transform?

Why do I want to change, who said anything was wrong with my stack of papers and sea of Excel files?   We solve problems, that is a key characteristic of any successful service organization, if it isn't broke why fix it?   Often, when discussing a transformation from paper or cobbled together systems to a cohesive digital approach, folks struggle with the gap between what they currently do and how digital tools can help.   You really need to look at where the pain points are in your organization and how these compare to your business objectives.   Consider writing down these points on the whiteboard in no particular order, spend a few days shuffling and consolidating into a prioritized list.   Once you have the "why" and the "what" identified, the old remaining step is "how".   Some of the most popular observations over the years have been; Slipping through the cracks :   you know, not the major muscle movements, instead those little i...

expert at everything...not a problem

Well... I would say sometimes there certainly is a perceived notion that one person is an expert at everything. For the worker "everything" may be defined as the specific area in which you were hired or are constantly scheduled. Our opinions are frequently influenced off of past experience, or information we've received from their coworkers. Unfortunately this only gives us partial insight to that workers expertise and often is limited to their most recent history. Narrowly focused accounting is made of the skills that this individual possess. Come on, can't we figure out a way to leverage all of the skills of a particular worker? One of the challenges has always been that relationship between the activities which need to be accomplished and the myriad skills of individuals within your workforce. In addition, even if you could inventory and get a pretty good handle on the skill sets, they are constantly changing (with any luck) and thus the ineffective process of ...

Digital distance

As influential Irene entered the dispatch department this hot July afternoon all that she heard was the tapping of keyboards.   The energy felt like a controlled, almost clinical environment.   It wasn't that many years ago when the sense of chaos, wrapped in genuine human concern for our clients, filled the room with a much different feeling.   Could it be that our ambitions to become more efficient, by leveraging technology has simply created a reason for us not to communicate verbally with one another?    Hasn't the idea all along been centered around our ability to spend more time with our customers? Making each and every one of them feel as if they are our most important client?   Certainly I'm not suggesting we go back to big chief tablets and number two pencils.   Yet, we need to reflect and strike a balance between digitization and delivery. By pure coincidence, avid Andy was composing a memo attempting to give his opinion, without tr...
