Over the last few weeks, we have talked about the importance of setting and measuring the goals of our Continuous Improvement Cycle. Identifying not just successes, but also failures, or unexpected outcomes, provides us with an equal opportunity to refine and improve the overall process. We understand the “Why”, but in the face of ‘real...Read More

The continual quest for perfection, while it may never be fully realised, is not a futile exercise, since the continual process of identifying, executing and evaluating our goals is more likely to move us towards where we want to be within our organisations. But, when our goals and process are not aligned, it will undermine...Read More

In business, we all seek to succeed; we look to do this by being “the best”, but it is rarely that simple. There are multiple versions of the same thing: a cycle-based mindset to achieve your goals. We have seen multiple versions that, when distilled, come back to “Continual Improvement”. The internal expectations are always...Read More

Continual improvement is a process of constantly seeking ways to enhance the quality and efficiency of products, services, or processes. It is based on the idea that small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements over time. Continual improvement can be applied to any aspect of a business.

Over the last three weeks, we have discussed how KPIs are formed from an internal perspective of a process, and then other people have their own perception of what was laid down.

The question is, do those perceptions match the Perspective that spawned them? All too often, in business, we find that the drive to meet requirements...Read More

In a rapidly evolving business world, we find ourselves navigating through unprecedented changes. Adapting to these changes is imperative for survival, let alone success. In this modern era of business, the key to thriving lies in completely utilising your internal resources often supported by at least one trusted partner. The team at Geordie Consulting has...Read More

Work-Life Balance is something that is often discussed, but do we understand what it means? Some people say it means your work should only be from 9-5 Monday – Friday alternatively there are those who say business should not take the agency from employees instead allowing them to complete their hours as and when they...Read More

Over the last three weeks we have almost romanticised the link between People, Process and Technology, this anthropomorphising is not just for comic effect, there is method to it. The challenge here is that while balance can make an area of the business more successful, it is unlikely to be the sole factor. This then...Read More
