How to Accelerate HR's Role in Sustainability: The Next Big Step!Linda Morris Kelley
This document discusses how human resources departments can accelerate their organizations' sustainability efforts. It argues that sustainability goals should be integrated into all employee goals and training. An essential part of sustainability is developing a culture of sustainability through values, mindsets, leadership, engagement, diversity and inclusion. HR can help by recruiting, developing and retaining talent aligned with sustainability. Leadership should work across all functions and training should embed sustainability in all roles. Building a sustainability culture requires co-creation, grassroots efforts and long-term thinking.

Leadership and Management of Innovation (Eric James)Eric James
The leadership and management that supports and enables innovation can be a significant challenge. Being a truly effective leader involves a series of steps that are captured here in the INSPIRE framework. This involves working from the "inside out" (i.e., innovative leaders know that excellence starts with themselves), knowing the context, being able to effectively strategize, preparation, generating and integrating good ideas, re-examining the approach and executing plans effectively.
Leading with clarity rather than certaintyJody Holland
Leading with Clarity Rather than Certainty – There are hosts of leaders in this world that are absolutely certain about being right, about the direction they are going, about who they are to the world. There are very few, however, that are truly clear on the right direction. Developing clarity in business enables a leader to make the right decisions for the right reasons. Only having certainty will cloud the judgment of a leader, often keeping them on the wrong path. As our businesses are developed, it is critical to be clear on what is best for all stakeholders.
It's not lean, it's agile at scale.. the Hoshin Kanri wayPierre E. NEIS
Nowadays, in the Agile world, we ask ourselves how to scale up.
Before Agile, Toyota used an approach called Hoshin Kanri to get aligned before start.
This is perhaps an interesting point for us to address?
1) The document discusses driving change from a traditional waterfall process to an agile process by focusing on encouraging the right behaviors and mindsets.
2) It emphasizes the importance of changing individual beliefs and focusing on thoughts, feelings, and values over just processes and targets.
3) Continuous learning and improvement are key to achieving agile transformation and high performance.
This document discusses lean coaching and the human side of lean thinking. It presents the Wheel of Life tool for assessing one's current state and the Harada Method for setting goals and developing an action plan. The Harada Method uses forms and templates to guide people in achieving their goals in a self-reliant way. Lean coaching aims to develop leaders who can teach others to continuously identify and eliminate waste while improving processes. By improving individuals, organizations can also improve through developing more empowered, self-reliant, and results-focused people.
This document discusses lean leadership and how to develop lean leaders. It defines lean leadership as focusing on respect for people and continuous improvement. Lean leaders go to the "gemba" or work area to understand processes, ask questions, generate ideas to improve, and act as coaches. Developing lean leaders requires an on-the-job approach over many years with a coach providing feedback and ensuring the leader is adding value. Toyota's approach involves senior leaders coaching subordinates through challenging projects to advance their skills.
This document discusses various aspects of performance reviews and feedback. It begins by providing a brief historical context of performance reviews dating back to ancient China. It then discusses some of the common problems with traditional performance review systems, noting that many employees dread the process. The document advocates focusing reviews on future goals and plans rather than just past performance. It also suggests that while praise is good for newcomers, more experienced workers may prefer and benefit from more constructive criticism as it can help them improve and feel challenged. Overall, the key idea discussed is that the purpose of reviews and feedback should be to foster continued growth and goal pursuit, not just judgements of past performance.
Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement involving small, incremental changes on a regular basis. The philosophy is based on identifying problems, solving them at their source, and changing standards to prevent recurrence. Using kaizen, employees are encouraged to submit improvement suggestions, with over 90% typically being implemented. This leads to benefits like improved productivity, quality, safety, and customer satisfaction through the elimination of waste. Key principles of kaizen include a focus on customers, continuous improvement, self-discipline, acknowledging problems openly, and involving cross-functional teams.

At present, the pace of change feels relentless – new technology has changed our working lives beyond recognition and disrupted whole industries.
Many of us like to think that change is rare - we feel like it should be a one-off event, with a beginning and an end. The reality is that change is a constant state - nothing stays the same forever. If this seems daunting, agility is our friend.
This document discusses the concept of agility. It defines agility as the flexibility and ability of an organization to rapidly adapt and change direction. Being agile is about consistently adapting to solve clients' needs through collaboration, speed, and stability. It emphasizes being practical over practices and focusing on outcomes rather than outputs. The document advocates for people-oriented agility through empowerment and increasing the meaning of work. It also discusses embracing mistakes as learning opportunities and having adaptive leadership to respond quickly to changes.

The document summarizes a recent hackathon held by Facile.it Partner from May 9-12, 2022. It discusses the vision for the hackathon as an opportunity for cross-functional teams to solve problems in a new way. The hackathon utilized a new format of separating the problem and solution spaces. It involved 30 participants across 5 cross-functional teams who worked to identify issues, present solutions, and code implementations. The "Doctor Shark" team won the competition with 61 points by identifying issues, giving pitches, participating in team-building, and implementing the most story points worth of solutions. The hackathon aimed to foster a mindset of continuous problem solving across teams.
The document summarizes an FP Hackathon that took place from 9-12 May 2022. It discusses improvements from the 2021 to 2022 event, including an increase in participants from 30 to 55 and the use of a Miro board instead of a wall board. The top three winning teams were announced, with Doctor Shark taking first place. The hackathon aimed to develop solutions to reduce inbound calls, increase autonomy, and improve user experience for collaborators.
Today we started our 2nd internal #hackathon, introducing new approaches to complexity dealing. We propose to adopt the "Manifesto for Slow Thinking", even if we are in a time-bound competition.
According to my perspective, a #SlowThinking mindset enables empathy, critical thinking, humbleness, feedback, and emotional intelligence.
Ownership is about taking the initiative to do the right thing. It’s about taking the bull by the horns, driving the process and not assuming it is someone else’s responsibility.
The Eisenhower Matrix is a time management tool based on strategies used by Dwight D. Eisenhower to prioritize tasks. It divides tasks into four quadrants based on their urgency and importance: tasks that are both urgent and important should be completed immediately; important non-urgent tasks can be scheduled; unimportant tasks should be avoided or delegated; and urgent but unimportant tasks can be delegated to others. The matrix provides a simple framework to evaluate tasks and determine the best way to manage workload and priorities.

industrial automation was achieved through practical exercises in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) using Siemens TIA software and direct operation of industrial robots
utilizing teach pendants. The principles and practical aspects of Computer Numerical Control
(CNC) technology were also explored. Complementing these manufacturing processes, the
internship included extensive application of SolidWorks software for design and modeling tasks. This comprehensive practical training has provided a foundational understanding of
key aspects of modern manufacturing and design, enhancing the technical proficiency and readiness for future engineering endeavors.
In tube drawing process, a tube is pulled out through a die and a plug to reduce its diameter and thickness as per the requirement. Dimensional accuracy of cold drawn tubes plays a vital role in the further quality of end products and controlling rejection in manufacturing processes of these end products. Springback phenomenon is the elastic strain recovery after removal of forming loads, causes geometrical inaccuracies in drawn tubes. Further, this leads to difficulty in achieving close dimensional tolerances. In the present work springback of EN 8 D tube material is studied for various cold drawing parameters. The process parameters in this work include die semi-angle, land width and drawing speed. The experimentation is done using Taguchi’s L36 orthogonal array, and then optimization is done in data analysis software Minitab 17. The results of ANOVA shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle,5 mm land width and 6 m/min drawing speed yields least springback. Furthermore, optimization algorithms named Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are applied which shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle, 10 mm land width and 8 m/min drawing speed results in minimal springback with almost 10.5 % improvement. Finally, the results of experimentation are validated with Finite Element Analysis technique using ANSYS.
Passenger car unit (PCU) of a vehicle type depends on vehicular characteristics, stream characteristics, roadway characteristics, environmental factors, climate conditions and control conditions. Keeping in view various factors affecting PCU, a model was developed taking a volume to capacity ratio and percentage share of particular vehicle type as independent parameters. A microscopic traffic simulation model VISSIM has been used in present study for generating traffic flow data which some time very difficult to obtain from field survey. A comparison study was carried out with the purpose of verifying when the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models are appropriate for prediction of PCUs of different vehicle types. From the results observed that ANFIS model estimates were closer to the corresponding simulated PCU values compared to MLR and ANN models. It is concluded that the ANFIS model showed greater potential in predicting PCUs from v/c ratio and proportional share for all type of vehicles whereas MLR and ANN models did not perform well.

2. What is Kaizen?
The Japanese word "kaizen" means change (kai) to become good
(zen).
Kaizen means improvement. Improvements without spending
much money, involving everyone from managers to employees,
using much common sense.
Kaizen is on-going and never-ending improvement process.
3. Speak with data
● Kaizen is a problem solving process.
● The problem must be understood and recognized.
● Solving a problem without data is not a scientific or objective
approach.
● Collecting, verifying and analyzing data for improvement is
vital.
4. What are “kaizen eyes”?
"Kaizen eyes" means observing everything to identify
something that you could improve.
5. Working environment
● Skills and motivation are fundamental to success.
● We have to strive to maintain a working environment in which all
people can thrive and have the opportunity to meet their
potential.
6. The Adriano Olivetti way
● The focus of each one is on the motivational drive and sense
of belonging.
● The benefit to the whole and the individual will become one
in the long run.
7. Kaizen culture (1)
In kaizen culture the workforce is empowered.
Individuals feel free to take action; free to do the right thing. They
spontaneously swarm on problems, discuss options, and
implement fixes and improvements.
In a kaizen culture, the workforce is without fear. The underlying
norm is for management to be tolerant of failure if the
experimentation and innovation was in the name of process and
performance improvement.
8. Kaizen culture (2)
In a kaizen culture, individuals are free (within some limits) to
self-organize around the work they do and how they do it.
Visual controls and signals are evident, and work tasks are
generally volunteered for rather than assigned by a superior.
