Group for those who are interested in discussing challenges, solutions, and trends related to bringing about Quality and Continuous Improvement within Business and IT.
It needs to be a mix of the 2. If I have to derive meaning out of how the 2 may differ slightly in their execution approach – the operational adjustments would be primarily driven top down whereby there will be some operational KPI’s identified and some mandates communicated. On the other hand cultural transformation is more of a bottom’s up where you need the colleagues to be engaged more than ever before to ensure the changes/transformation sticks.
The difference on the above 2 extremes is one will give you “Compliance” and the other will give you “Commitment”. You need a balance where you have a higher % of Commitment than Complaince – maybe 80/20 and you build upon it.
There is generally a lot of confusion at all levels about quality. Colleagues seem to convey a good understanding of what it means - but find it almost impossible to make it practical. They struggle to embed it in their day to day working... Thoughts?
Is it possible that those colleagues either don't believe in its value or don't know how to implement it? How about holding their hands for a bit till they see what it can do for them and the world around them?
