dismissed. Be more sensitive to all problems - major or trivial, real or imagined - that can lie behind

complaints. Understand techniques used to determine underlying problems, which are not always the

same as those the team member thinks are responsible for his/her difficulties. Use various techniques to solve such problems while maintaining a positive relationship with

the team member.

Using Positive Discipline You will learn to: Use techniques of positive discipline to reduce and redirect problem behavior by people who

report to you. Communicate in terms of behavior rather than perception or opinions. Avoid getting entangled in personal areas that generate defensiveness and lead away from

lasting solutions. Recognize how important team member participation is in defining problems and their

solutions. Develop the skills necessary to encourage meaningful participation. Conclude disciplinary interviews with plans that work toward improved performance. Issue formal warnings in keeping with your organization’s policies. Develop plans for follow-up to make sure that the problem is solved.

Basic Process Improvement Tools for Teams

The basic process improvement tools are a collection of PowerPoint presentations. These can be used for self-study, refresher, and team training. Send an email to manningmitch@aol.com requesting the presentation.

The Basic Process Tools provide information on improving manufacturing and business processes from start to finish. The first part of the series focuses on creating and managing a process improvement team. Several booklets and checklists provide valuable information and advice to team members and leaders. In addition, a module on assessing team progress is included as a tutorial for ensuring the effectiveness of the team.

The second part of the series is dedicated to general process improvement. It includes several modules that introduce process improvement and systems theory. These modules give practical information on the basic tools for process improvement, including process mapping and data gathering. Other modules focus on specific ways to improve processes: eliminating waste, improving cycle time, reducing non-value-added activities, focusing on the customer, and benchmarking. These modules break down the steps of each process into easy-to-follow objectives and activities.

By using the resources found in this series as a whole or separately as needed, professionals in manufacturing and business will be able to create processes that are more efficient, effective, and keep the customer happy and keep competitors on their toes. Team Startup Resources:

New Team Startup and New Manager AssimilationThis resource is a guidebook for starting new project teams and assimilating new managers. The guidebook provides the objectives and implications of this process. It also includes a manager’s questionnaire, a pre-work questionnaire, and a sample agenda for the first team meeting. The guidebook’s suggestions can help increase group effectiveness, reduce new manager uncertainty, plan team objectives, and make group interactions more successful. The questionnaires allow the new manager to consider important issues before leading the team.

Teams: From Start-Up to Stand-AloneThis guidebook describes the training and development support strategy for use with team development. It describes the steps, objectives, and roles and responsibilities of starting a team. Training guidelines and recommendations are provided.

Team Start-Up Kit for Team Members & LeadersThe team start-up kit is a packet of information to be used by leaders and members of process improvement teams. The packet includes a map of the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) improvement process, a map of the systems model, and several useful appendices such as checklists and meeting effectiveness critiques. The module explains the five phases for a project team: 1) Chartering the team 2) First team meeting 3) Getting the work done 4) Reviewing progress and 5) Concluding the project. Specific tasks for each involved party in the process improvement project are listed.

15

Team Member PDCA ChecklistThis booklet outlines the eight-step PDCA Improvement Process. A detailed checklist is provided for each of the eight steps. In addition, it lists the tasks that must be completed before the team can move to the next step. Process improvement team members should use this checklist to determine if they have completed all necessary tasks in the PDCA Improvement Process.

Assessing Team ProgressThis module gives various tools for improving and measuring team effectiveness. The Johari Window is used as a model for team development. Team members are encouraged to create structured opportunities both inside and outside team meetings to share information and discuss team progress. Example team and meeting effectiveness critiques are provided as a means of measuring feedback. Using feedback for improvement and giving positive reinforcement are emphasized.

General Process Improvement Resources:

Systems ThinkingThis module focuses on systems thinking—a way of thinking about how we do work, the effectiveness of our work, and how we approach problem solving. The differences between systems thinking and traditional thinking are outlined. The module emphasizes concentrating on the system as a whole to fulfill customer needs and offers key measures to remember when conducting process improvement.

The PDCA Improvement Process and the Link to Core Process RedesignThis module describes the components of the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) Improvement Process. It also examines Core Process Redesign and its relationship to the PDCA Improvement Process. The eight steps in the PDCA Improvement Process are: 1) Thoroughly understand customers’ expectations and specifications; 2) Prioritize improvement projects; 3) Define the current process and eliminate or simplify the “gimmies”; 4) Determine process measure and assure a capable measurement system; 5) Stabilize the process and determine capability; 6) Improve process capability and cost effectiveness; 7) Obtain process data and customer feedback and continue to adjust and improve the process; and 8) Formally change the process and implement change with all similar processes. An extensive list of common mistakes made during the PDCA improvement process is provided. Audience members are asked to participate in discussion questions and exercises to test their understanding of PDCA.

Process MappingThis module describes process mapping and its various levels—system, primary process, function, and task. The presentation shows how to map primary and parallel processes, and it gives detailed instructions for creating a map of any organizational process. Suggestions for using process mapping to improve process time and eliminate waste are also given. This module is an essential learning tool for any process improvement project.

Basic Data GatheringThis module instructs the audience on developing operational definitions, sampling techniques and data collection methods. The presentation also outlines the steps of the data gathering process: 1) Operationally define data to be collected 2) Select a sampling technique 3) Develop a data checksheet and 4) Collect and analyze data. The importance of avoiding biased data and practical data gathering situations are discussed. The module also includes a number of helpful appendices to facilitate data gathering.

16

Waste EliminationThis module focuses on eliminating all forms of waste to improve process efficiency. Waste elimination practices should follow the PDCA improvement process, standardize their practices, stabilize and improve process capability, and prioritize Core Process Redesign projects. The ten sources of waste are 1) Complexity 2) Labor 3) Overproduction 4) Space 5) Energy 6) Defective goods, errors, and variability 7) Materials 8) Idle materials 9) Time and 10) Transportation. Explanations for each source of waste and suggestions for eliminating them are provided. The module also explains the concept of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance). A discussion question is provided at the end to have participants think of ways to eliminate waste in their work processes.

Cycle Time ImprovementThis module defines cycle time improvement—a method for reducing non-value-added time in a process. Comparisons of push vs. pull systems of material flow are used to show reduction in cycle time. Processes should be designed to produce only what is needed by a customer at the time it is needed. The module also looks at performance measurements and characteristics of lean manufacturing. The module emphasizes improving cycle time by reducing hold time between steps and eliminating non-value-added activities in processes.

Value Analysis with Activity Based CostingThis module defines Activity Based Costing and defines its seven steps: 1) Define process/activities to be costed 2) Determine resources consumed by activities 3) Determine period of time costing analysis will cover 4) Collect appropriate data to analyze process cost 5) Determine cost of resources consumed 6) Calculate cost per unit of output and increase in productivity and 7) Revisit the PDCA improvement process. The module gives examples of common mistakes made during ABC and poses questions for discussion and exercises for the audience to complete. The presentation emphasizes the use of interviews to learn about processes, systematic use of steps, overall analysis, and using measures from customers and other processes.

Focus on the CustomerThis module poses fundamental questions that must be asked to improve customer relationships: Who are my customers? What do they need from the process? What are their measures? What improvements does the customer want? What is the end user’s perception of our product and service? Actions affecting customers and integrating the customer in business planning are also outlined. Discussion questions emphasize making customer service an integral part in business systems. The module emphasizes making customer satisfaction the driving force for the organization and ensuring that the voice of the customer impacts management systems.

The Benchmarking ProcessThis module defines the benchmarking process as a tool to improve processes and performance of the company. It describes the eight steps of the benchmarking process: 1) Select process to benchmark 2) Select key measures 3) Examine your process against measures 4) Select benchmarks 5) Examine benchmarks’ process and performance 6) Identify gaps between benchmarks’ performance and your performance 7) Establish a plan to become “best-in-class” and 8) Deploy the plan and monitor progress. The module emphasizes the importance of being systematic, staying focused on improving company processes, and treating benchmarks as you would want to be treated.

DiversityThe ultimate goal of a Diversity initiative is to maximize the productivity and effectiveness of all employees for enhanced business results. Best Practices in Diversity indicate that this goal is achieved through a process, not a mere training program or series of special events. At Simmons Associates, Inc./we identify that process as a Change Management Strategy that addresses the special challenges of changing diversity-related behaviors. To fulfill this need, we created a strategic model rooted firmly in best-in-class change practices called The Simmons System of Interlocking Diversity Components™. This unique system presents Nine Components essential for achieving long-term, sustained change in diversity-related behaviors that support business results.

The nine essential components of a successful diversity strategy are:1. Compelling Business Case for Change2. Inclusive Diversity Definition and Leadership Vision3. Line Ownership and Accountability4. Strategic Sequencing5. Customized, Position -Specific Skills Education6. Bottoms-Up Authorship7. Measure Everything8. Continuous Improvement9. Unifying Conceptual Approach: The VectorsÔ Tool

IMPLEMENTATION/SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

Although the elements in The Simmons System of Interlocking Diversity ComponentsÔ are simple to conceptualize, the process of actually achieving each element can be complex and unique for each organization. Therefore, Simmons Associates, Inc. recommends a Strategic Sequence of events to insure success (Component Four). For organizations that have moved through some of these phases, Simmons can evaluate the effectiveness of those efforts in preparation for moving to the advanced stages, or assist in designing and implementing any individual component.

Consultation: Simmons Associates, Inc. develops/adapts the System strategy and implementation plan to succeed within the context of its organizational history and current structural and political imperatives. $2500 per day.

Executive Overview: Achieving full understanding, commitment and participation from leadership should be among the first steps in the successful implementation of the Diversity Process. The overview includes a presentation of the solid business case for change; the logic of the Essential Components of a diversity change strategy, and the critical role leaders need to play to insure success. $3500 for a 3 ½ hour session.

Needs Analysis: Understanding an organization's areas of strength and relative weakness related to Diversity is a critical component of understanding the business case and designing a successful series of interventions. Includes focus groups; paper or web-based survey, as well as executive one-on-one interviews. Pricing to be provided for each alternative upon request.

Pilot Training: Pilot training allows fine-tuning of the content (including appropriate modules, organizational history, style and jargon), and learning and integration of some of the “real world”

20

issues facing the organization. One and two day session formats. Pricing for one day sessions- $5,900; pricing for two day sessions- $9,900.

Executive Training and Strategy Session: The ultimate goal of this program is to have leadership well informed so that they can create a successful diversity strategy, including: Vision, Custom Definition, Prioritized Business Case, Objectives, Implementation Plan, Measurements and Accountability. This session also introduces the skills executives need to lead the initiative. Sessions typically last two days. One and one-half days are dedicated to executive training on diversity. The remaining half-day is dedicated to strategy development- $15,000 for two days of training and strategy development. Typically, one to two days of strategy refinement by Simmons Associates, Inc. is provided @ $3,000 per day.

Training: Training provides employees with awareness and understanding of diversity in general and the company’s Strategy in particular. Additionally, programs include level-appropriate skills and action planning guides that enable participants to contribute to the success of the Diversity Initiative. Diversity training in typically provided to all managers and leaders first, followed by other employees. Training is in one and two day formats. Pricing will be provided upon request.

Action Planning, Goal Setting and Measurement: Accountability, goal setting and measurement are critical to changing workplace behaviors; therefore, Simmons Associates provides consultation as requested to ensure continued progress in these critical areas.

Continuous Improvement: Because Diversity Management is a change strategy, the efforts made by individuals need to be supported by integrating diversity concepts and practices into all existing and on-going management and human resources programs and systems.

Focusing On the Customer – under construction

This is a highly interactive 2-hour multimedia course. It is built around the module (by the same name) in the Basic Process Improvement Tools for Teams.

23

Helping Others SucceedHelping Others Succeed is a coaching and managing process specifically designed for all levels of management, to help increase individual, team and organizational performance. It is feedback based and discussion–oriented, focusing on results in the short term and relationships in the long term. A key additional feature is that it uses specific upward feedback from individual direct reports, thus permitting a Manager to become familiar with the unique coaching needs of each of their individual associates/employees.

Target Audience: Experienced or inexperienced managers at all levels in all departments.

Pre-Work: Prior to attending the workshop, Managers select two direct reports to provide confidential and constructive feedback on both their coaching needs and the Manager’s coaching skills, using a forced rating mode. Managers also complete a self-assessment.

During the workshop, the feedback from the employees/associates is examined and specific opportunities for improving the Manager’s coaching and managing effectiveness are identified. A Coaching Improvement Discussion is prepared to enable the Manager, on returning to work, to meet with each of the two direct reports individually to discuss their feedback, reach agreement on how the Manager can be a more successful coach of the individuals involved and how the employees can become more productive and effective. Day two of the workshop provides Managers with practice dealing with the three most common coaching situations, i.e., performance improvement, development and career coaching. Practical tools are provided to help the Manager identify and handle these situations back on the job.

HOS enables Managers to continuously evaluate progress, redefine the coaching needs of the direct reports and generate new ideas for coaching them to succeed. The process can be initiated with additional direct reports once the Manager has attended the workshop, on the latter’s own schedule, permitting it to be implemented throughout all direct reports assigned to a given Manager.

Instruction: A hands on workshop with no lectures. Managers analyze the feedback from their direct reports and participate in individual and small group discussions. Managers also receive practical tools to help them deal with performance improvement, skill development and career coaching situations.

Instructors: Experienced, professionals from BlessingWhite, the supplier of the workshop.

The Managing Personal Growth (MPG) process focuses individuals on important organizational goals and values while improving performance and accelerating development. It is a proven method for describing the skills, behaviors, personal values and attitudes required for personal and organizational success. MPG helps gain the clarity, communication, and personal commitment and action needed for successful change to occur. MPG is a two-day workshop with pre- and post-workshop assignments.

Target Audience: All management, professional, technical, sales, customer service and administrative staff.

MPG begins with an assignment to be completed by the employee and his or her manager prior to attending a two-day workshop. Independently, they both define the employee’s job responsibilities, important skills and personal capabilities.

At the workshop, employees clarify their personal motivators and develop ideas for increasing current job satisfaction. Comparing their perception of job priorities and skills with their manager’s assessment, they create a development plan with specific actions to improve contribution and increase satisfaction.

The Development Discussion Plan is the product of the MPG workshop for the employee. The MPG workshop prepares the employee to initiate a meaningful, results-oriented discussion with his or her manager. Together they review the employee’s development plan and agree on job priorities, areas for development and ways to maximize the employee’s strengths. The open discussion creates a partnership, strengthening motivation and establishing a mutual commitment to achieving both individual and organizational goals.

Managers and employees continue to meet two or three times a year to discuss the employee’s progress, plan for continuing development, and revisit job priorities. Included in the MPG process is an optional piece called Career Decision Making designed to assist employees with career planning.

Instruction: A highly interactive and insightful workshop. There are no lectures. Workshop participants spend their time in individual and group exercises clarifying personal values, analyzing feedback and preparing discussion and action plans.

Instructors: Experienced, professionals from BlessingWhite, the supplier of the workshop

Targeted Selection ® - Development Dimensions International www.ddiworld.comTargeted Selection Web-based Training (TS-WBT) is a new, online way for interviewers and hiring managers to learn the tried and proven Targeted Selection techniques for making consistently accurate hiring decisions. Its blended learning approach combines self-driven online study with a choice of powerful and convenient skill-practicing options. The results: more powerful learning, delivered faster, and immediately applicable to evaluate candidates and hire top talent.

System Overview - TS is the world’s first behavior-based interviewing system. DDI has kept it the best with continual updating and refinement. Today’s “next generation” of TS addresses critical business needs: Hiring the right person for every position in order to optimize current performance and

improve potential. Achieving hiring goals through efficient, accurate, and consistent interviewing and decision-

making. Providing cost-effective interviewer training, even when learners are widely dispersed.

TS-WBT is a two-part program. First, interviewers learn these fundamentals of effective interviewing through online self-study: How competencies drive the hiring process How to determine what competencies apply to what positions How to gather competency-related behavioral information from candidates during the

interview How to build rapport with candidates and elicit relevant information How to integrate data with other interviewers to arrive at an accurate decision.

After their online study, learners apply and refine what they’ve learned through a skill practice session in any of the following ways: In a classroom setting, led by a certified TS administrator. Here learners work together to

practice and refine their interviewing techniques. Over the phone, via interaction with a trained interviewing assessor, who provides feedback

and coaching to the learner. On the job, with a trained TS coach from their organization, who works with learners in

actual interviews. The coach models the proper TS interview techniques in a real interview, then observes the learner conducting an interview and provides feedback. This blended learning approach of online self-study combined with live skill practice ensures learners thoroughly grasp TS concepts, build interviewing skills and confidence, and know how to apply what they’ve learned to make accurate hiring decisions. Learners are certified as TS interviewers only after completing both portions of the training.

This is especially true for individuals who are trying to effect changes in behavior.

Benefits - Follow-on coaching can help individuals work through specific development needs, support conscientious learners who are actively engaged in on going development, and assist high performers who need intensive skill development to keep up with the pace of their careers.

You can review your progress, discuss what is working and what isn't, identify reasons for any setbacks and consider upcoming developmental opportunities.Expertise.

What's Included? – The Center’s basic Follow-on coaching package provides three hour-long telephone sessions with a person who is familiar with your challenges and goals and, perhaps equally important, someone you already know, trust and are comfortable with. This is typically the coach who provides feedback during your CCL program, but you can also choose to partner

47

with another member of our professional staff. If you prefer, a customized coaching process can be arranged, including the option of face-to-face sessions.

Fees - The basic Follow-on Coaching package is $750 for three one-hour sessions with a Center professional. Additional telephone coaching may be added for $250 per hour. If preferred, a customized coaching process can be arranged, including the option of face-to-face sessions.

solving and strategic focus are examined Managers identify organizational patterns of behavior and consider the impact of these

norms on their own effectiveness Participants leave the experience with insights that lead to a positive impact on work

performance

The Center or one of the Looking Glass, Inc., Network Associates can conduct this program as a custom program at your site. The Center can certify members of your organization to conduct Looking Glass, Inc., internally. The certification process includes a participant run, a train-the-trainer workshop and at least three co-training runs.

How it Works - Looking Glass, Inc. is a freely interacting simulation that challenges participants to run a glass manufacturing company for a day. Participants learn to recognize opportunities and steer clear of problems; plot strategic possibilities and juggle tactical concerns; and  make tough decisions, while fending off a multitude of issues and plowing through an overload of information. Looking Glass is very similar to real managerial life so that participants' behaviors during the simulation will be as close as possible to their real job performance. Participants feel the pressures, face the problems, and search for the solutions that are part of this highly realistic replication of a day in the life of top management. Looking Glass may be delivered in two ways: The Center or one of the Looking Glass, Inc. Network Associates can conduct the simulation

a custom program at your site; or The Center can license your organization to conduct Looking Glass by training and certifying

internal staff. Although the simulation is a two-to two-and-a-half-day experience, the Center strongly recommends that at least one module reflecting the objectives of the training program either precede or follow the simulation and debriefs. Some organizations choose to use multi-rater feedback instruments, such as Benchmarks ® or SKILLSCOPE ® , as part of the design to enrich the experience.

Components vary based on whether the Center delivers the program or if your organization has installed Looking Glass, Inc.

The Center can certify individuals within an organization to conduct Looking Glass, Inc. internally. The certification process includes a participant run, a train-the-trainer workshop, and at least three co-training runs. Or, you may choose to have the Center deliver your in-house Looking Glass, Inc. programs.

Cost - If you plan to use the simulation with multiple managers, it is typically more cost effective to have your internal staff certified to conduct the simulation. The Center can help you calculate

49

the "break-even" point for your organization, and provide quotes for Center-run simulations. For information, call Client Services at 336-545-2810.

Materials - Using Looking Glass, Inc. in Training ProgramsLGI is used in the Center's open-enrollment program, The Looking Glass Experience: Leadership in Action. It is also offered on a custom basis by the Center and a number of our Network Associates.
