Collaborative Intelligence. By Russ Linden

Are your institutions leaders talking about collaboration now more than five or six years ago? Are you seeing considerably more collaboration in your agency today?

When I pose these questions to managers, 80 to 90 percent answer “yes” to the first question, but less than 30 percent answer “yes” to the second question. Why is there this yawning gap between the rhetoric and the reality about collaboration?

Increasing the level of collaboration in an organization requires a major culture change.  John Hancock, a colleague at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) observes, “Changing organizational culture isn’t rocket science—it’s harder!” Hancock’s point is spot on; greater collaboration is a cultural change that involves values, attitudes, history, and professional identity—much of an agency’s DNA.

Culture can change and adapt over time, but it is difficult. Mid-level and senior managers are concerned about what they have to lose. Front-line employees clearly see the need for change, but also encounter a variety of interpersonal barriers. Indeed, culture change is difficult for anyone who works at an agency where people “talk collaboration,” but hire, train, evaluate, and promote workers based on their individual skills.

Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, installation, improvement, evaluation, and control of socio-technical systems in virtually all sectors, including manufacturing, distribution, government, energy, health care, and finance. A distinguishing feature of the industrial engineering discipline is the integration of humans, machines, materials, and information to optimize the performance of such systems using available resources in the most efficient way, but without degrading social and physical environments. Industrial engineering training should provide future practitioners with the set of competencies that are required to create and maintain flexible organizations, which in turn are able to adapt continuously to the dynamic environment.

Information Engineering option

The industrial engineer strives to make people more efficient and effective by ensuring that they have easy access to the right information at the right time. The rapid developments in computer technology have created a management information explosion. A systems view of an organization must necessarily address the following issues:

Providing access to data and distributing relevant data to all who need it. Reducing large volumes of data into information that is useful to the management

process. Coordinating the decision-making processes of people and computers in the

organization. Designing information systems to suit the needs of particular organizations. Managing the evolution of information systems within an organization. Positioning information technology in the strategic development of a corporation. Taking advantage of information technology in a global market. Turning legacy data processing systems into strategic, competitive information

technology tools. In addressing these issues, a distinction is drawn between computing and system

technologies, which are clearly relevant to every engineer, and the more specialized industrial engineering topics such as integration technologies, management of information technologies, and integrated systems. The latter topics address the unique qualities of integrated systems within a particular class of organization, such as manufacturing, business, and health.

PROJECT MANAGEMENTHow to Improve Productivity & Qualityby Tara Duggan, Demand Media

Improving productivity and quality in your business typically results in increased customer and employee satisfaction. Using quality management system techniques such as process mapping, benchmarking and cost-benefit analysis, you can achieve regular improvement in all your work-flow processes. Improved productivity results in fewer defects, fewer delays and reduced costs.

Step 1Analyze your processes. Focus not on the people performing the job but on the tasks they do. Standardize policies and procedures through your company to maximize efficiency. Train all personnel adequately so they can produce high-quality products and take pride in their work.Step 2Align your business processes with other companies in your industry. The American Productivity and Quality Center website provides tools, including the Process Classification Framework, to help you improve your company’s business performance.Step 3Develop performance measurements. Benchmark your current processes, identify problems, predict future outcomes and measure productivity gains using key performance indicators for your industry. For example, measure quality and productivity in your customer support center by measuring the time it takes to resolve customer issues and the customer satisfaction rate for those support cases.Step 4Build quality testing into your processes -- not at the end when it is more expensive to fix. Perform testing on an iterative basis. Resolve defective component problems as you encounter them without waiting for the entire testing cycle to complete. Implement automated testing if possible, because it executes without human intervention and results in a pass or fail outcome that is easy to interpret and act upon.Step 5Use business strategies such as Six Sigma to improve quality and productivity. Create projects that define a problem, measure the current process, gather relevant data and analyze the data to validate the cause-and-effect relations. Determine the root cause of issues and design interventions to improve or optimize the processes. Control production so that defects get corrected early on before they impact your final product.Step 6Value employee, customer, supplier and business partner feedback and input regarding solving product or service problems. Measure quality and productivity gains by increases in customer satisfaction. Use customer feedback to improve current products and influence the design of new ones. Leveraging customer requirements in your process redesign efforts can help you focus your efforts on the most lucrative areas of business in your industry. For example, conduct surveys or focus groups to gather information to resolve top issues with your product or service. Prepare a report summarizing findings, and distribute the report throughout your organization to improve quality and productivity.
