| “Reorganization to me is shuffling boxes, moving boxes around. Transformation means that you’re really fundamentally changing the way the organization thinks, the way it responds, the way it leads. It’s a lot more than just playing with boxes.” – Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. |

By any definition, by any stretch of the imagination, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a transformational event that has affected, either directly or indirectly (probably both) each and every person on the planet. That the “story” of COVID-19 being knocked off the front page by the media (like “climate change” before it) and replaced by the upcoming Presidential election in the States along the appointment of a new Judge to the Supreme Court (which are interrelated), tells me that people are increasingly accepting the existence of COVID-19 in their daily calculus. So, I believe we can start contemplating what the world will look like post COVID. What changes were made in the run-up to peak-COVID? Which are here to stay? And to what extent and form? What “new” will exist? What “old” will not? But I don’t believe this will result in a “Brave New World” with the entire planet becoming a “world state”; a single government that overseas the entire planet and whose ruling class is qualified and selected by their intelligence (as portrayed in the dystopian novel of the same name written by Aldous Huxley). First, I am not sure there is anyone on the planet presently who is intelligent enough to set the standard for intelligence; but certainly, there is argument for the standards being set for the absence of intelligence. But what does the future hold? Especially the future of work? Is the change good? What are some of the pros and cons? What are the risks? By: Joseph Paris |
The Best Education and Training System in the World |
You can’t become a high-performance organization without having the capacity and capability to deliver – and this is especially true when it comes to your most important assets – your team. The Readiness Institute’s education and training system is world-class and is accredited for continuing education credits. It’s integrated learning approach will maximize the retention of the knowledge and, if our prescriptive approach is followed, will never be a cost to your organization.

Benchmark your Operational Excellence Program |
They say that “up to 70% of Operational Excellence and Continuous improvement programs fail.” Don’t be one of them. Be the exception, not the rule. “Fail to plan, plan to fail.” To help you, your program, and your company to be successful, XONITEK has created a Program Architecting Whitepaper where you will find the best practices for the planning stage of an OpEx/CI program. Even if you already have a program, you can use it as a benchmark to see how your efforts compare. Click below to receive a copy of our 20+ page Best-Practices Program Architecting Whitepaper. |
The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the way businesses operate faster and more profoundly than possibly any other event in the history of the world. Decisions and plans that would normally have taken months of deliberations were made in moments. What didn’t work, or didn’t work well enough, were refined and deployed in real-time. The challenge on the production floor will be the reconciliation of the conflicts that abound between doing the job and following the protocols established. For instance, how can it be ensured that social distancing restrictions are maintained during meetings, daily production activity, and shift handovers? By: Andreas Eschbach |

WEBINAR: How to Achieve a Superior Level of Operational Excellence: The State of Readiness Model Today’s business climate is full of volatility. Many companies find themselves in a race with the clock for their survival. The ones making it have learned how to adapt quickly. They can predict threats, identify opportunities and respond to situations in real-time. This doesn’t happen by chance, but is by design and is orchestrated by leaders who decided to bring their organizations to a ‘State of Readiness’. Joseph Paris and Gero Decker, Co-Founder and CEO of Signavio, will have a live conversation on what it means and what it takes to become a high-performance organization. |
It is undoubtedly and incontrovertibly true that global extreme poverty has declined as capitalism has driven globalization – the trade between and among nations – to increase over time. Certainly, there are arguments to be made that the growth in wealth has also been increasingly concentrated in the hands of fewer people, but the world as a whole has benefited. The charts below from Our World in Data, showing the number of people living in extreme poverty from 1820 to present, clearly demonstrate that the economic benefit of globalization has been as positive as it has been apparent. |
