The Gig Economy – No Jobs, Just Work

Joseph F Paris Jr

There has been a lot written lately of the “Gig Economy” – the notion that, in the future of earning a living, there will no longer be jobs, just work. It’s an earnings environment where the supply and demand for skillsets are contracted between those that have a need and those who can fulfill that need.

Organizational Excellence and Accountability

By Michael Bull

You cannot maximize the impact of people in your organization without effective accountability. Where accountability is sporadic or poorly implemented, there is always potential left unachieved. This is represented by increased waste and cost, inefficiency and unhappy customers, to name a few.The fact is people contribute more to the success or failure of an organization than anything else. Where organizational excellence is concerned people are both the solution and the barrier to that objective.

To meet these demands of the customer requires that companies constantly seek to increase the velocity of throughput (
Lean) as well as improving the quality of the process (
Six-Sigma) – to drive out waste and leave only value.
