How to set proper KPIs?

04.03.2018 at 18:45h

Hi, I previously wrote an article about SSMAAART KPIs. I hope it helps. ----------------------------- This post in an extension of a broader topic that I covered in “Achieving your dreams” article. I tried to cover there the relationship between goals, key performance indicators and targets and explained that all together they should be not just smart S.M.A.R.T. but actually S.S.M.A.A.A.R.T. So 2 times S and 3 times A. I will not spend time going through the typical definitions that come with... read more

How to best quantify benefits for multi-skilling and cross-utilization?

14.08.2018 at 14:08h

Hello Razvan,   I have several examples where implementation of cross-skilling and multi-skilling was successful and brought tangible impact, but I will focus on my latest and maybe most impactful one in Call Center.   In 2013-2014 I was responsible for Managing Call Center in Romania and I had under me several teams: inbound (100 FTEs), outbound (65 FTEs), retention and loyalty (20 FTEs), monitoring (4 FTEs) and others that are not the topic of this discussion. The big problem we had there w... read more

Hi Mirel,  Please see my article related to the topic.  ________________________________________________ If you google “lean” things like: JIT, 5S, MIFA, OPF, TPM, TT or CT start to appear on your screen, or the alternative: Jidoka, Poka Yoke, Heijuka, Kanban and so on … It feels a bit like learning Klingonian or at least Japanese.

How to change an organization from silo thinking to being Ag...

04.03.2018 at 18:20 h

Anybody here has experience with changing an organization from silo (department like) thinking to agile / adaptive organization. It seems cool to have a multi functional team with people working towards same goal and have various skills but it seems to me there are many obstacles from the moment you start this journey and until you are actually a high performant adaptive company. I would appreciate if somebody could guide me through the most important implementation steps and what are the mai... read more

15.02.2018 at 16:30 h

Implementing change can be difficult even for small organisations with no cross-country/continent offices. But what do you do for those organisations that have 10.000+ employees and operate in multiple countries? I would need a step by step approach for driving change and estimated timelines. read more

How to successfully implement daily huddles?

04.03.2018 at 18:27h

Hi Emil, I have a very simple 1st step.  Ask every team member to say each and every morning what they achieved the previous day (not what they have done but what are the concrete outputs of their work).  There will be a bit of a struggle because most of them have even no clue what an achievement is or they have issues with prioritisation, but after 2-3 rounds and with a bit of guidance from team leader people will start thinking a bit different - in terms of achievents and not activities.  H... read more

How to define digital processes?

24.05.2018 at 19:00h

Hi Alex, I hope I understand the need correctly. Is the company trying to identify what is the level of digitalisation they are currently having?  In this case I would suggest starting with BPM (business process management) where the team in charge of the project would define as a 1st step the process catalog and as a 2nd step they should assess the level of digitalisation for each process.  I would also separate core processes from enabling processes and draw conclusions separately together ... read more

What's the optimal sample needed for average processing time calculation?

14.08.2018 at 14:22h

Hello Radu, the typicall number of measurements I do is 30 but this can vary depending on the consistency of the results and the deviations I get. If 15-20 measurements are grouped close to each other and I do not see any signifficiant deviations from one measurement to another I am quite happy with this sample and I do not go further. If this is not the case I go for 30 and sometimes even more and I eliminate the 5-10% outliers that might appear but very important I would also try to clasify... read more

How to conduct a customer journey analysis?

24.05.2018 at 19:08h

Hello,  I would suggest using a customer journey map.  A customer journey map tells the story of the customer’s experience: from initial contact, through the process of engagement and into a long-term relationship. It may focus on a particular part of the story or give an overview of the entire experience. What it always does is identify key interactions that the customer has with the organization. It talks about the user’s feelings, motivations and questions for each of these touchpoints. It... read more
