Day Before
Training
Once
the Trial Runs have been completed, the department
is ready to begin its first level Green Room meeting.
Before
this can happen, however, the people who are going
to be the participants in the meeting and whose meeting
this is, really, will need to understand the philosophy
behind the system. While the company can use as many
means as possible to alert it's people of the coming
system, nothing is more effective than to focus on
the
actual group of people who are going to be the participants
in the process. Therefore, through a process of presentations
lasting approximately 45 minutes, we describe the QCDSM
System to the assembled group so that they can get
a good, overall understanding of what the process is
about
after which there is a 'hand over' as it were. The
trained leaders of the meetings now take this same group
of people
into their Green Room and spend 45 minutes talking
through the charts, explaining the charts and the reasons
for
them. Since, during their Trial Runs, the leaders have
accumulated 2-4 weeks of 'real data,' they are in a
position to demonstrate the workings of the Green Room
using this
real data. It has often occurred that even though this
is not the first Green Room meeting as such, many idea
and suggestions and comments emerge from this training
session and the result is the process has now got off
to an excellent start already.
We
have found that this methodology has been most effective
in the sharing of good information, answering questions
and concerns and literally inviting all present to
become part of the process right from the start.
Very rarely
does this method create problems and difficulties
and if it does, it is usually because the leaders
have not
done their trials correctly, the management is not
fully behind the process and the commitment is not
evident.
The success of the QCDSM is, therefore, the result
of the commitment of the company and not the commitment
and enthusiasm of the Consultants.
Start
Up
The
very next day at the appointed times, the first level Green
Rooms commence. These are followed by the Support Level
and the next levels up. The company has now embarked on
its journey to excellence and what is now required is commitment,
enthusiasm and creativity.
