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!

As the steam from Avid Andy's coffee fogged his glasses on this crisp January morning, he reflected on last year and thought enthusiastically about the year ahead.   Sometimes the noise of business is deafening, we rarely take the time to contemplate our moves, instead are often thrown one direction or another.   Hey, face it, if you are reading posts to gain perspective you fall in the group of folks who pride themselves as obsequious hoop-jumpers.   We live to help others and expect that all of those around us feel the same way.   I just love Influential Irene.   Okay, it is out in the open, she is an inspiration for me and so many others.   Irene reminds folks every year, without fail, these three statements which she fondly refers to as "the punchline" (although this is no joke).   Businesses, of any size, will be successful if they remember that it is people that make a company.   Put this advice into practice, today: Sincerity |...

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 ...

Who owns the data?

Finally the capital budget allows you to replace some very old equipment.    You can't open a trade magazine without seeing the latest news regarding the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).   Lucky for you the equipment manufacturers are offering an IIoT ready solution packaged with your equipment.   Suddenly your enthusiasm turns to confusion as you review the details of the quote.   What the hell is that subscription fee?   Isn't this equipment mine; lock, stock and barrel?   You mean to tell me that I need to pay the manufacturer, every month,   to give me the luxury of accessing data produced by the equipment I just purchased?   The only explanation has to be new math, at least as a child this is what my parents told me when I asked hard to answer questions. It's amazing how history repeats itself, we are starting to see manufacturer specific data languages appearing in their "smart" equipment.   Didn't we learn our lesson ...
