Six Sigma Relevancy Question and Kotter's Theory of Transformation
One such exchange that was of particular interest centered on Dr. John P. Kotter’s 8 steps for organizational transformation.

An Elephant Sized Sales Tip You Need Now
Look Down Lady - There's An Elephant On Your Foot! (And this is a pachyderm in dire need of a pedicure.) This is the ELEPHANT that hardly anyone ever asks about with their potential customer: "Who was your previous supplier and why are you unhappy with them?" Don't be sooooooo afraid of mentioning your competition because you're terrified you'll lose the sale too. A BIG, elephant-sized mistake that would be. Pssst. You need to know what your customer's expectations are of you. You need to know what made them so unhappy with their last supplier that they dumped them (or are considering it)

Is Paranoia an Acquired Taste?
In "Don't Bring It to Work" the underlying idea is that when stress hits the hot button we all revert to behavior patterns we learned as kids in our original organization, the family for protection and survival.

Is Ford's auto-xchange the "Real Deal?" (Survey Response 5)
In a recent video that was released by The Ford Motor Company, Ford's Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Jim Yost indicated that the company has to "share information in real-time" and therefore can no longer use "the sequential processes” in which there were many “handoffs" and "transfers of information." Yost also emphasized the fact that Ford needs to "integrate much more closely with their customers, supply base and even internally," as well as stressing the importance of making information available to multiple levels of their supply base "simultaneously," thereby eschewing the current "cascade processes that might take days, weeks and even months" to disseminate. To enable you to respond to this question, you can access both the video as well as the corresponding article by contacting the author.
