For most people, ‘change’ is a mixture of what was, what used to be, what is present, what I’m being faced with now, what I believe the future holds, and what I have to change to face that future. In short, how does this change affect me, my family, my lifestyle, and my position? That’s […]

We all theoretically recognize that everyone has the right to their own beliefs. But in situations where we have great passion (or the moral high ground, as we would like to believe) we have difficulty being generous with those who disagree with us. Wouldn’t it be nice to persuade others to see the world as […]

Leaders valuing continuous performance improvement encourage employee engagement in the corrective action program as a primary input to organizational learning and growth. Combined with a low reporting threshold, these organizations process numerous condition reports every day, some of which will be duplicative when an adverse condition is observed and reported by more than one person.
Each condition report filed requires the expenditure of resources to investigate, prioritize, and resolve. Duplicative condition reports result in the expenditure of resources with no organizational value added. To ensure this does not occur, checks for duplicate condition reports should be performed as early in the process as possible and, when found, duplicate condition reports should be eliminated.

“Either a good or a bad reputation outruns and gets before people wherever they go.” Lord Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield (1694 – 1773) British statesman and man of letters
Adverse conditions and opportunities for improvement present themselves at unpredictable times and in unexpected places; possibly observed by only a few or one. Furthermore, an organization benefits most when its workforce contributes the full measure of its intellect and creativity. Thus, it is critically important that everyone, including contractors, be able to submit a condition report.

Every year, with the best will in the world, we make New Year’s resolutions to make some sort of change, like exercising more or eating healthier. We start off with great gusto and determination, yet by February we begin making excuses to avoid the gym, or convince ourselves pizza would be great for dinner. What […]
Condition reports provide detailed information on individual performance deficiencies, operational events, and opportunities for improvement. While such information enables the resolution of specific problems, the aggregate analysis of all condition reports provides insight to the underlying systemic faults the correction of which would prevent recurrence of many of the organization’s issues.

There’s this thing that websites do. They use the term ‘metrics’ out of context. Their metrics are arbitrary, and they jerk the chains of sellers with figures that are unsubstantiated. They arbitrarily disable accounts. Sadly, this is what is thought of as “quality” in the digital age. Websites that sell products are digital platforms, not […]
