Implementing performance improving actions can dramatically enhance the organizational results achieved. Unfortunately, many identified actions go unfulfilled, the victims of never ending delays. Establishing robust corrective action due date extension protocols, complimented by associated management metrics and reports, helps curtail unending activity deferment.
Management establishes the organization’s priorities and assigns activity due dates and resources accordingly. To meet this responsibility, managers must continuously monitor and control activity due dates and resource assignments after they are made; adjusting them accordingly as new information and/or opportunities become available.

We actually had an email system at my my first job with IBM in 1986. On day one they sat me down in front of a huge green screen and introduced me to PROFS. “This is your PRofessional OFFice,” they said, “and how we all communicate.” In those days, email lived on a mainframe and […]

Significant event mitigation and recurrence prevention represent two important corrective action program functions. As such, senior management involvement with, commitment to, and accountability for significant event corrective actions is critical to program success.
Corrective Action Review Boards (CARBs) engage senior organization leaders in the response to significant events. As board participants, they review all root cause reports, challenging the thoroughness of investigation, ensuring the completeness, adequacy, and timeliness of corrective actions; verifying appropriateness of follow-up action assignments; and confirming the availability of needed resources. Additionally, the CARB establishes monitoring activities and performance measures to verify the effectiveness of the immediate response and corrective actions to prevent event recurrence.

After spending 30 years deconstructing the inner processes of how people decide, and training a decision facilitation model used in sales, coaching, and leadership, I’m always amused when I hear anyone deem a decision ‘irrational’. Only outsiders wishing for a different outcome designate a decision as ‘irrational’. I doubt if the decision maker says to […]

All organizations and individuals have a history and within these experiences reside events which those persons involved would just as soon forget. These experiences typically involved significant loss or other discomfort that negatively impacted the psyche of the organization as a whole or the associated individual(s). Often, some key words and/or phrases become forever related to these painful experiences. Whenever these words are spoken or read, they elicit a strongly negative emotional response as individuals are jolted back into the memory of the disastrous event. Acting on this emotion, these individuals may strike out at or withdraw from the individual(s) using these words. Thus, these words or phrases have come to be collectively known as Purple Words.
