Welcome to Episode 104 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is such an honour to have a person on the show with us today who played a part in altering my trajectory in life for the better. Around mid-2015 I saw the TED Talk, "How many rules at work keep you from getting things done", presented by Mr Yves Morieux. This talk both shocked and inspired me. Yves Morieux is the Managing Director of Boston Consulting. He is the author of the book S"ix Simple Rules: How to Manage Complexity without Getting Complicated". Yves has also delivered another amazing TED talk titled, "As work gets more complex, 6 rules to simplify". Let’s get into the episode. Yves thank you so much for joining us today. 

As you know I am a fan of Yves's work and this conversation is amazing. As part of this episode, we are going to give away one of Yves's Books – Six Simple Rules – How to manage complexity without getting complicated.

The way I've come to think about it this year, is I used to think about it as how can you just get everyone involved in improvement in some way? Like, what can they do? But it was always mostly with how do you help the business? And I've been thinking of how can you create avenues for people to get their jobs to work a little better for them? There was something we hadn't even touched on yet called job crafting. And then when Peter first showed it to me, I'm like, well, that's crazy. How are you going to get your job to work better for you? Like all kinds of ways to get your job to work better for you. So basically, invite your people to do things that make their jobs a little happier for them. A little more comfortable, a little more suited for them, a little more ways their passion, and interest can come alive in their work and still get their jobs done. All the same. But I think if everyone was a little happier in their jobs, then you really still end up with exponentially better results. That we'll see that optimising people's lives and happiness optimises the results.

 Brad

Hmm. I think we only have to think back in our own careers to know that's true, don't we? We think back to those times where we're in the zone and really fired up and happy and engaged and had high morale. That's when we got our best results.

 Cheryl

Yep, you know, we're like, it's Monday morning and can't wait to get there. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

Seth Silver

Okay. Well, I'm gonna slightly change it and share with with you and the audience, how I framed it with the teams I worked with last week. And I shared with them that if I was asked by a brand new manager who had never managed before, what is the essence of managing/leading, and please tell me Seth in that two-minute elevator ride while you stand on one foot? 

My answer would be to provide support and help them succeed. Everything else is commentary. Everything else can can be come back to later. But think about from their perspective, what do they need to feel supported? Because I think in the workplace, and in life, generally, I mean, you introduced the notion of family and I would come back to my spouse or my kids or my brother, or, you know, my dad, etc. What what do you need to do to help the other side feel supported? However they define support? Not how do I define support, but how do they define support? 

Tim Franz
You know, mine that I think is very related to Seth's. My area is industrial and organisational psychology. But all over time, I've really focused more and more on how do we develop people? How do we help people to improve? How do we help get them out of that static zone where they're afraid of change and get them to do better? Adam Grant had a great quote today about the goal in life. So I encourage you to go read Adam Grant's quote today, which is on my Instagram page now because it was fabulous about all right, what we want out of life is is really to improve and be happy. And the core job, whether leaders see this or not. The core job of anybody who's a leader is to develop their people That is number one. It's not to protect the finances. It's it's not to set the vision, it's to develop the people.

Welcome to episode 99 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Dr Rajesh Jugulum on the show with us today to discuss his most recent book Common Data Sense for Professionals – A Process-Oriented approach for Data Science Projects. Dr Rajesh is already the author of 6 books on many key topics of Enterprise Excellence. He is a data science, analytics, and process engineering leader and has held executive positions in large corporations related to healthcare and finance. Dr Rajesh teaches at Northeastern University, Boston as an affiliate professor. I am looking forward to this conversation. Let’s get into the episode.

Video Rajesh offered his services to support your data experience. Here is a 1-minute video on his new book, Common Data Sense for Professionals. https://vimeo.com/719373490

24:22min

Yeah, a two-minute tip would be like, again, everybody should think about like if they have data, right? Why I am using data? Rather than just I have some data. Put it in some package and get some results. That should not be the intent. Understanding the problem that you want to solve; that's important. 

And the second thing is, people think that now we are in the big data era, and they think all data is necessary. So that is not true, right? So we need to make sure what is the relevant data? So my identification of relevant data, big data to relevant data, and relevant data to meaningful insights, and using those insights in the decision-making activities so that we can make judicious decisions with more confidence. So, problem definition, understanding relevant data. We don't need big data for data analysis and getting meaningful insights on deploying in decision-making activities.

Welcome to episode 98 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. This episode is focused on the book TPM, a foundation of operational excellence. I am so pleased to have with me today the authors of that book Mr Peter Willmott, John Quirke and Andy Brunskill. The knowledge and background in Enterprise Excellence among my three guests is extensive and large. It is such a pleasure to have them on the show to discuss such an amazing book to help organisations achieve greater operational excellence. Let’s get into the episode. Peter, John, and Andy, thank you for joining us today. 

We are proudly sponsored by S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.

41:59min

Peter for yourself, what would be a two-minute tip that you would give an organisation on this around TPM? 

Yeah, a two-minute tip. One thing that Andy mentioned, right, was the OEE best of the best. We didn't mention a world-class OEE. The book dispels some of the myths around the fact, many.. six myths, but one of them is that 85% is a world-class OEE. The problem is 30 years ago, whatever it was, we didn't let the Japanese gentleman who said that finish off the statement. We run out of the room. without listening to his actual statement. He said world-class of 85% is typically for a manufacturing operation that has significant number of changeovers. Yeah? And what Andy's saying is we have to look inside the OEE and come up with an interim target of the best the best? The second point is for me, TPM allows the leader to take the vision and values off of the notice board, hand it to the operators and maintainers and say with conviction. Say, with our proactive, visible and ongoing support, you can make a difference, because we're going to ask your opinion, about the best way of doing things here.

Welcome to Episode 97 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast is such a pleasure to have Mr Andy Olrich with us today. Andy is the Continuous Improvement and Innovation lead at Hunter Water and is passionate about the people and culture side of making an excellence journey stick and succeed. Today we'll explore Andy's journey and a tools verse cultural approach to excellence. Let's get into the episode. Andy, thank you so much for joining us today.

We are proudly sponsored by S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.

40:26min Andy, with the path forward mate in this episode we've covered, what would be your two-minute enterprise excellence tip for listeners in your area of expertise.

The key things I'd say and I've touched on them is to stay humble, reflect often and take the people with you. We have so much to learn from each other. And, you know, we must be engaged with each other to see where the opportunities lie, and we can really seek out the systems and solutions as a team. Now, I know that kind of sounds like, it might sound a little bit too much mayonnaise on top of it. But I honestly believe that if we are going to get it right, it's going to take time. It's a marathon, not a sprint, but there's things we can do right now. And having engaged teams, some good support system structure and some visibility over not only where you are but where you want to go and where people fit in. That helps declutter a lot of the noise. I guess it stops us from getting involved in doing that extra bit of work to take that take it over that tipping point to then go, okay, well now like, I've got more time, or this person is actually coming to help me now or we're working on this together. So, yeah, that would be my tip is, is to follow those processes and certainly can't say I've done it every day everywhere. But that's, that's where I'm going and hopefully, it works for me too.

Welcome to Episode 91 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Mr Kim Gallant on the show with us today. Kim in his career has worked on some of the most advanced jet fighter aircraft we have seen. Most impressively he has played a key role in two major excellence transformations within two of our largest organisations globally. I am so looking forward to the conversation with Kim today as he has played a part in achieving something not many people do. Practically helping two large organisations transform and sustain an excellence journey. Let’s get into the episode.

We are proudly sponsored by S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.

08:19min I think I'd just joined Airbus, and we pretty much doubled in size in the first 12 months. And when organisations go through that growth, you've then got to consider not just the product and services that you're delivering, but the capabilities of the organisation itself.

14:41min So you know, it was the simple tools at the start, like visual management and problem-solving. And then add to that a coaching framework and depending on the outcome that you're chasing with your transformation, you just add the systems and tools that you need to produce those outcomes, particularly in terms of the behaviour required to sustain performance.

Firstly Kim's approach to getting senior stakeholder/leadership engagement from the start of the program. This senior leadership buy-in and ownership creates a leadership shadow throughout the organisation that helps transform the new approaches into the culture. 

The second key takeaway for me was the structured assessment approach Kim and the team takes to measuring, adapting and improving the journey. This is not a top-down dominant approach but rather a collaborative improvement focused approach to helping all teams understand where they are at on the journey, prioritise and improve.
