Other Added - Project Selection - Ready, Aim, Fire!
In the beginning…The caveman needed to survive. Man found safety in groups. It was not a matter of preference, it was a matter of necessity. If you were not a part of a group, your chances for survival were slim. Conformity to the majority became necessary to stay in a group and physical strength was the dominant factor for group leadership. Those who were strong and successful in the art of survival had the

What Does It Mean To Select a Wrong Project?
What does it mean to select a wrong project? Well, this question has arisen not because projects are selected wrongly by design or because the project selection teams are incompetent. This question can’t be misconstrued as something willful when especially it dawns at an advanced stage that the project is out of track and control and as a consequence, doomed to fail.
Fail-Proofing the Projection Process
In Six Sigma, project selection is based on two foundation cornerstones that are ‘total customer satisfaction’ and ‘maximization of ROI.’ We can use the analogy that a home is only as good as its foundation.
Look for projects in your annual strategy documents that have roadmaps with various business objectives defined for the ensuing years.
Another place to look will be the budget and HR; HR, for one, is a major component of expenditures. Even though it is not personnel reduction, along with the budget, it accounts for a major chunk of wastage adding to Cost of Poor Quality, COPQ. ROI maximization depends heavily on reducing COPQ.

Satisfying the ‘rebuttable presumption of reasonabess’An ECS reader recently asked about where to find reliable data that can be used to compare non-cash compensation among executives within the not-for-profit (NFP) sector: Compensation Committees need to evaluate this component of the pay package for purposes of satisfying the “rebuttable presumption of reasonableness” under Section 4958 of the Internal Reve

Have you ever wondered why the people in your team don’t seem as motivated as you do? Or why some people do their jobs with enthusiasm and vigor, and others barely get through the day without taking the frown off their faces?You are not alone. The topic of human motivation has been studied for hundreds of years. So it’s a topic we know a lot about. Unfortunately it’s not often taught to managers as part of th

Of course my wife said I didn't know what I was doing and my friends also were skeptical and thought that I was completely wasting my time.Yet I was on a mission and determined to build a business and make it a success and build it on my own. Sure I wanted to have the extra cash rolling in, but money wasn't the only reason I decided to start. I simply couldn't stomach the idea of working for someone else for

Places To Look For Projects
1. Recurring events like payroll processing, new hires, etc. consume resources endlessly. This category provides for result-oriented projects
2. Six Sigma projects get a boost to their success probability if the scope is narrowed down to realistic and quantifiable targets. The quote, “You can’t boil the whole ocean” applies here.
3. Define the anticipated results and if they make measurable entities; measurable results are looked upon as practical and result oriented.
4. Select manageable projects as they can be successfully completed within reasonable timeframes. Projects of larger proportions take longer and resources eventually loose management commitment.
5. Brainstorming with key people from strategic areas generates ideas after critically examining rationalities of processes particular to their respective areas. Brainstorming may critically examine the project selection process itself. Pay attention to cost drivers such as any wastages.
6. Process variation is another area to look into. Are there hardened assumptions and notions about existing, variation prone processes can be disprov
