Applying Value Chain and LEAN thinking to your operations allows you to see where your weaknesses are Mikhail Sergachev Jersey , where the bottlenecks are and where your greatest opportunities are to improve. A lack of training has companies falling short of LEAN goals. CIOs, PMPs and budget-conscious Millennials love the global availability and convenience of on-line LEAN training at Holodec, which is less costly than travel to classroom seminars.
Notable featured classes at Holodec include the recently launched IT4IT Reference Architecture Version 2.0, an Open Group Standard. Ms. Shirley P. Shorter, CISA Andrei Vasilevskiy Jersey , CSM, MBATM, and Business Analyst at Holodec, said: "In our consulting practice, we have witnessed corporations struggling to apply writer Michael Porter's Value Chain and LEAN principles to non-manufacturing IT and business workflows. The solution is the Open Group's IT4IT end-to-end Value Chain framework - the strategic approach we have been looking for!"
IT4IT allows enterprise CIOs to deploy services faster and with reduced risk and cost. A recent Gartner study suggests that an IT department using IT4IT might save between 5% and 20% of their total budget.
Borrowing from the management principles that transformed manufacturing Victor Hedman Jersey , the IT4IT standard is based on the value chain approach, known as the IT Value Chain, and a three-level functional reference architecture encompassing four major IT value streams.
IT4IT is intended to support Agile as well as waterfall approaches, and lean Kanban process approaches, DevOps and IT service management process models. This framework underpins and enhances COBIT Louis Domingue Jersey , ITIL, ISO, CMMI, SAFe and Agile, and relates directly to TOGAF 9 and ArchiMate.
Early adopters of IT4IT Reference Architecture can be found at The Open Group IT4IT Forum at www.opengroup.orgIT4IT.

Why We Don't Reward Excellence Business Articles | February 1, 2009 This article mourns the lost of excellence in educational and professional settings and gives reasons why this has happened. Everyone in a leadership role should read this.
Recently I was very disturbed by an article I read in the Raleigh, N.C. News & Observer concerning grades at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. The article was about grade inflation. This was the part of the article I found most disturbing:
Gilleskie, the economic professor who crunched the data for this new grade report, has struggles grading in an honors-level economics course that involves a great deal of tough written research. In a class of 15 honor students Yanni Gourde Jersey , the work ranges from very good to "really bad" Gilleskie said. But it's very difficult work, so should she give C's to students low on the ladder?
She gives mostly A's, she acknowledged.
"They're undertaking a task that very few others have done, and the fact that they got through it is an accomplishment," she said. "But is that right? That's what I struggle with."
This is a struggle? Attending class and doing crappy work is an accomplishment? You know what I think? Gilleskie should be fired.
She gives A's for really bad work. What does that teach anyone? Isn't her job to TEACH these students? Wow - guess a degree with honors from UNC Chapel Hill is a huge joke. Hope the parents and students paying for that don't mind. Hope the students that are doing really good work don't care that their honor's degree is made meaningless by this teacher's actions.
I do think that if our institutions of learning refuse to reward excellence and only excellence Ryan Callahan Jersey , we will fall farther behind countries that do. If we celebrate the ability to win a video game over the understanding of a work of Shakespeare, we will get what we deserve. I'm not saying that we obliterate the former, not at all. But we cannot lose the later. The best teachers I had taught me how to think, how to learn, and they created a lifelong thirst for knowledge. There is no excuse for giving a student an A for really bad work.
Employers Brayden Point Jersey , next time you hand out an award just because someone showed up and breathed for five years, you too are rewarding mediocrity. What do you do for excellence? What do you give those who showed up with a great attitude and really contributed to the bottom line?
Here are some of the reasons I think we don't reward excellence:
1.) It's hard. Someone has to figure out how to define excellence. Someone has to set standards. But our Economics professor clearly knows good work and bad work. This can be done. But it will take some work.
