» FEATURED: Making Modern Research
Article Rating (2353 Views) (0 Comments)
Making Modern Research “I may not know much about art, but I know what I like”. This famous punch line to a Monty Python sketch about a fictional conversation between a disgruntled Pope and innovative Michelangelo (who wanted extra disciples, multiple messiahs and a kangaroo in his first draft of the Last Supper), can also be seen to satirize our own modern fixation with...

Objective Agility - what does it take to be an Agile company?

Without proper separation, they operate in enterprises without a great deal of thought given to them. Ironically, they may be the most important dimension because they represent important business thinking behind processes, use cases, fo...

» FEATURED: Systems Thinking: Management by Doing the Right Thing
Article Rating (11826 Views) (3 Comments)
Systems Thinking: Management by Doing the Right Thing What we have witnessed in the last 25 years is a series of programmes of change failing to achieve their intended outcomes. Customer Care, ISO 9000, TQM, ABC, BPR. All the research and experience show that the latest panacea does no better than its predecessors. Over and over again improvement programmes are thwarted by commonly-known but illusive ...
