OPEX Asia 2019

Day 1 - Great networking and discussions today with peers in operational excellence. My first impressions:
- Focus automation on areas with minimal viable products; and don't forget to clean-up your waste first
- Operational excellence is bottom-up and top-down at the same time
- Start your transformation journey with the 'why'; and then experiment in high speed to create tangible results
- Yes, you can have a global IT organisation with only three hierarchical levels - implementing self-organising teams
- Who owns the customer journey in the company? Ideally the Operational Excellence unit; it is a cross-functional topic

Day 2 - Excited about the feedback I have received for my presentation about People Excellence; people are not machines and we thrive with freedom and passion.

Though the day continued to be exciting with many insights; here is what I got out of it:
- Operational Excellence is not a nice to have - it is about surviving in the market
- Rule-based activities can be automated with a bot; a great opportunity to up-skill people and engage them in more meaningful activities
- Employee Experience is a broad journey with social, physical and technical aspects; and requires a wide set of methods
- Drive agility by moving the focus (30%) from big ticket improvements to small Kaisen improvements
- Create an environment that allows and pushes experimentation; this is one of the foundation for transformation initiatives
- Ownership and curiosity easily compensates for the lack of expertise

Today's 'Quick Share' is about how do I get a productive day? So here is what I do:
1 - the evening before, I set my 2-3 tasks for the next day
2 - when I arrive at the office, I focus on task 1 first (no e-mails)
3- then after the first (mindful) break, I am going through my e-mails

Here is the article that inspired me; in essence:
> get rid of distraction
> follow your own priorities (and not others')

Happy Friday

The Essence of Motivation

​A quick "Friday Share" on what is the essence of motivation:

How do we motivate people? Money, threats? Yes, people will do what you want from them. Once you stop these treats, what will happen? I think these activities will stop as well.

​Motivation is more sustainable when it comes from within - from people's heart and mind. Intrinsic Motivation gives us three simple handles:
1. Purpose - awaken the passion and show the long-term direction; let's aim at something that we care about
2. Autonomy - allow the people to use their experience and brains to decide how we can achieve this common purpose
3. Mastery - aspirations to become an expert is a third driver that makes people excited

Does the world look grim to you at times? Three steps to walk through this with a smile and succeed...
1. Keep your energy positive
2. Graciously ask for help
3. Become ruthlessly solutions-oriented

That reminds me of that study I read that says: if you want to show empathy, be in a good mood. Look out for the sunshine above the clouds.
