The drawbacks of using packaged ideas

Quality and trademarks

In recent decades, ISO 9000 and EFQM are brands that have generated much debate and money with programs training, certification and evaluation.

We love the jargon and acronyms, it seems that a behind a product brand, it has value and justifies its use. Once asking why did not evaluate the application of common sense, logic or scientific method, someone said, is money not certifying the logic!

Brands have a business function. The brand management models are packages that are sold as pills to a patient. Its shortcomings are buried in their own sales system.

We are who we have used every day who best know their pros and cons. So the best score of "6 sigma" comes from director Motorola itself as http://www.q-skills.com/Deming6sigma.htm.

Arguably, many of the tools that underlie these and other brands are good in themselves, so we should not blame them for the misuse that is sometimes made of them.

In fact many of these tools come from W. Edwards Deming, but packagers usually be named after some changes are not always successful. Others have been marketed with Oriental names of some of their students.

what he thought?

" The problem is that you can not learn anything useful by simply copying. You can not apply the same tool for each situation. Consequently, rather than blaming the tools, deeper in its use. Dales a better place to make its magic through Profound Knowledge. not blame the tool, blame the model "

Deming thus opposed to the packaging of ideas, models replicated from one company to another. He knew very well that improving the parts of an organization does not guarantee the success of the organization's purpose and therefore before applying any tool you must first understand the organization. So use improvement tools should be adapted to each organization and not vice versa .

business models attempting to give the same solution to similar problems in different organizations but not the organizational system and their interactions, and its root causes are analyzed before determining the model.

Aspirin is not to blame, the problem is not suitable for use when the patient's health.

We use improvement tools, understanding the shape and purpose to use the one that created them: W. Edwards Deming.

In the works shown Terms and effects in an exhibition of Elena Alonso (Madrid, 1981), it is possible to clearly identify forms that are familiar and routine, but presented with new configurations in form and content. Thus, this exhibition suggests a special interest in the attitude with which they face certain forms we are given and the importance of the perception of objects with which we relate day.

There is a profound observation behavior of human beings in the production of Elena Alonso that explores the relationships it has with its environment. Foreign adaptation or construction , in the words of the artist: the construction space as a condition of human behavior. In an era marked by the crisis of the system established, you can have a sense of skepticism about things and feeling trapped. Through recreational activities, the work is free from all bondage and encourages the imagination to connect systems, objects and structures. And since it's only interaction with the audience when the work is a sense that complete, of this behavior is critical to place the work in context. There is a kind of nostalgic feeling. The fact that exposure time in this abstract it encourages to establish the terms of relationship between viewer and space, because they impose only through time and memory space defined.

Forced Cock Milking Drink

From hierarchy to redarquía: collaborative organizations

Two motivations
define the behavior of a person within an organization and its degree of involvement: meeting basic needs (your pay) and their personal satisfaction.

personal satisfaction and development of their own talent they have amazing strength in the will of the people. Its importance and its value is incalculable.

The degree of involvement, creativity and drive depends on the pay-satisfaction relationship is appropriate. Remuneration and is neither a sufficient nor a determining factor. So much so that many dedicated people of creativity and drive within the "social media" without any reward to their own satisfaction. The development of Linux and Wikipedia are a good example.

is surprising that so many organizations that persist in maintaining a leadership style that inhibits creative skills and drive of its employees, reducing the work only possible reason for the wage premium. Thus the only thing expected is the fulfillment of work obligations.

And is not that an organization must give reasons, it is not their function, but to create conditions for self-development, participation, collaboration and to the venture.

employee-company relations are now much improved. hierarchies pose real barriers to individual skills and be crop used to benefit people and the organization itself.

organizations do not use the skills and entrepreneurial and intellectual capacities of their employees and thus their ability to improve primary. All lost.

The more we cling to the traditional hierarchies, the more we move away from the enormous potential of collaboration to create agile, flexible and continuous improvement.

why more and more people to develop their talents and achieve personal satisfaction, undertake activities themselves, sometimes with excellent professional skills, which will provide a new way of working: the redarquía to the concept of hierarchy.

The redarquía will work in collaborative networks, with partners in a network with suppliers and customers.

Employees will no longer be used, but partners that make up a network. All points of the network will be connected, part of the problem with the systemic assessment of these will become clearer.

Redarquía is collaboration, increase relationships, communication and increase personal satisfaction and improved organizational system .

Figure of an area director in a large company will lose weight. Project managers will be the new managers of the future, the closest thing to today's managers, but who will develop professional networks free for projects that may arise while part of other networks. The professionals will be excited for each project, as this will challenge and an opportunity for collaboration. The leader will be born out of necessity and all of its network will be leaders at different times.

future? Maybe. But the inadequacy of management head-foreman-leading companies, the lack of consideration to neceidades of self of persons is accelerating, if not resolved, the process by which people increasingly skeptical look for other ways outside the big traditional companies. Networks outside the company are already born. Will they companies while leveraging the talent?

Corporations lose
little by little to their best professionals and they will be installed in any network of collaborators.

Redarquía is when individuals gain personal development, cooperation and interdependence, but also the network. Remains to be seen whether the excessive fragmentation have unintended side effects, so a good solution is for companies to replace the hierarchy of networks of internal and external partners. Win all.
