I had an insightful conversation with Karina Gómez Meléndez during my latest IT in GxP Coffee discussion.  Karina shared practical and actionable ideas on how Lean Six Sigma can support system changes.  Her passion for the topic was contagious and inspiring!! Our discussion highlighted how Lean Six Sigma can be applied not only to large-scale IT projects but also to everyday decisions, like choosing a car.  It led me to rethink how I approach Lean Six Sigma—not just as a technical tool but as a collaborative framework. Karina’s insights reinforced this perspective and inspired me to share how these principles can transform IT projects.  Here’s what stood out: 1. Data-Driven Understanding Lean Six Sigma comes with a strong statistical mindset. When this framework is in place, it provides a deeper understanding of how your key processes behave. It equips you with the knowledge needed to set SMART goals and the tools to verify whether those objectives are achieved. 2. Knowledge and Collaborative Focus Resistance to change is common, especially among people who have been following the same processes for many years. To be successful, you need to go beyond simply enforcing new rules. You must demonstrate a deep understanding of what you intend to change. This involves clearly explaining the benefits of the change as well as the less favorable consequences for everyone in the value chain. Lean Six Sigma offers excellent tools to address resistance by grounding its approach in knowledge (facts and data) and collaboration. 3. Cross-Functional View There is knowing WHAT you will be doing and how it will impact your process, and then there is knowing WHO will be impacted and how they might react. Creating a stakeholder map to proactively identify who will support or resist changes can help you develop effective strategies to counter potential resistance. The key takeaway? Lean Six Sigma isn’t just for large-scale projects—it’s a tool for everyday decisions and life transformations. How have you managed resistance to change in your work?

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method used to identify potential failure points in a process, product, or system and assess the impact of those failures. In this video, I provide an overview of how FMEA works, breaking down its key components and explaining how you can apply it effectively in your continuous improvement efforts. We'll discuss how FMEA helps you prioritise risks by evaluating three factors: severity, occurrence, and detection. You'll learn how to use this tool to prevent failures before they happen, focusing your resources on the highest-risk areas. I'll guide you through the process of building an FMEA table and using Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) to drive action, making sure your improvements have a lasting impact. By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of how FMEA can strengthen your risk management practices and enhance reliability in your operations. #FMEA #riskmanagement #continuousimprovement https://lnkd.in/eUhxpCwJ

👩🏾‍⚖️ What are your manager parts? 👉🏻 In this chapter (in Spanish), I will help you understand and learn to identify some of your manager parts, following the IFS therapeutic model (created by Richard C. Schwartz). These parts function to protect our internal system strategically, attempting to control the environment to preserve safety. 🤔 They are responsible, among other things, for keeping our exiled parts (related to our traumas) at bay and trying daily to maintain a certain order and control so that we do not connect with painful emotions, thoughts, and sensations from the past. However, when we are ready, connecting with these parts is necessary to fully heal our traumas. Don't miss it! Every Tuesday at 7 am, a new chapter of the podcast on Spotify & Podimo. 👍🏻 Like if you enjoy the chapter's topic. 💬 Comment if you feel like it. ✅ Save it to listen to the chapter later. 🫂 Repost if you feel this chapter could help someone else. 👉🏻 Follow me on Spotify & Podimo at "El vuelo del árbol" so you don't miss any chapters. 🎙️ Episode's link: https://lnkd.in/d5VpDrYs #podcast #trauma #personaldevelopment

Jumping into the Quality Manager role with confidence As someone who proudly holds the American Society for Quality (ASQ) Certified Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE) certification but not the actual post, I took great notice of Govind Ramu’s article in this month’s Quality Progress magazine. Mr. Ramu’s article is titled, ‘Five steps to establish your role as a Quality Manager’. He is an author and is highly recognized in the quality field. Mr. Ramu suggests focusing on building a robust foundation for the new Quality Manager. He provides guidance on the way to do this in 5 strands: 1. Getting to know the organization and its culture; 2. Building relationships with key stakeholders both inside and outside of the organization; 3. Understanding and baselining the current state of quality; 4. Identifying opportunities for improvement; 5. Developing an action plan. The new Quality Manager can accomplish this first step by reviewing the organization’s mission and vision statements and values and asking whether mergers or acquisitions have taken place in the past. Mr. Ramu suggests building relationships with the CEO and other members of the leadership team. This will help to secure support from those around.  It would be a good idea to keep an ear to the ground to learn the respective pain points of fellow employees. This would provide a background for future reactions. The Quality Manager can do the third step of getting a baseline for the current state of quality by conducting a gap analysis, running a survey and/or doing a SWOT analysis. Based on the results in step 3, the new Quality Manager should be able to identify opportunities for improvement in step 4. By the time the Quality Manager gets to this fifth step, he or she should be able to develop an action plan that would allow the organization to reach its goals. The plan should be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely). The now confident Quality Manager should be to jump into his or her role with poise.   Kereen R.
