I have constantly stood in awe of the PI professionals who excuse
themselves for failure with "the lack of upper management support."
It is sad that the individuals who should be most astute in root cause
identification narrow their view to a point that they exclude the real
reasons for failure.
Across my career I have always seen upper management supportive of
efforts that met or exceeded their needs!
What many of these PI "professionals" are really saying is that upper
management should be more tolerant of poor performance. Organizations
can not afford to carry dead weight or tolerate substandard
performance.
Over-promising/under-performing, misdirected communication or just
plain incompetency is closer to the root cause of upper management's
lack of support.
Think about it...What leader would dissolve an organization or effort
that is contributing to the increased profitability of his/her
company?
If fingers have to be pointed by PI professionals it should be towards
themselves!
The New Brass Ring (DMADD) promotes a methodology that meets the 21st
century demands of Faster and Better...with lower costs...at less
risk...
The key to the 21st century is attacking risk...
The New Brass Ring does this and does it effectively!
