Lean Alaska

If someone gave you a check for $4000 for your work, would you cash or toss it? 🤔 This is basically what is happening every year for Soldiers. Credentialing Assistance is $4000 every fiscal year to obtain new skills and professional development and prepare for the future. Every year you do not use this, it is like not cashing that $4000 for all of the effort you put into the Army!! That adds up over a career. LEADERS!!!! Are you looking for a bullet to set you apart or look a little different on your report card? How about this. - Created a Professional Development Program that captured over four hundred thousand dollars in benefits and resulted in over one hundred industry-recognized certifications for Soldiers. (This is based on 100 Soldiers; it could be more or less depending on your level of influence; imagine a BDE or higher; it could go over 4 million in the blink of an eye). - Championed initiatives that resulted in over 100 hours saved, 500 thousand dollars in cost avoidance, and significant increases in the consistency of task execution, allowing for predictability and higher morale in the organization. Of course, these need the "red pen," but you get the idea. This is all possible if you spend just a little time promoting CA in your organization! Not a hand wave or an email. Something deliberate. Credentialing Assistance is the program, Lean Six Sigma (process improvement) is the certification to deliver these results. I would be happy to help you craft and deliver, or I can deliver this message for you. My main focus is ensuring every Soldier from E1 to O9 knows about this program.

Thank you Mark for joining us today!!! It was a great conversation with the Lean Alaska book club! "we hope to fail in a small way to minimize the impact", loved this statement! As we were discussing the benefits of finding the signals early and avoiding the noise, Mark dropped this nugget to use. My takeaway from this statement is the longer we take to understand our data, the potential for larger failure. f we know how to identify and look past the noise, we can have a more granular view of the process and therefore react to signals earlier, hopefully minimizing the impact. Thanks to everyone who joined today!!! Michael Theroux, PMP® LSSBBσ Jefery Spangler Jobie Roach Angel Rojas Michael Smith Tom Jones, MBA Amya Ranck Ryan Chancellor
