Hi Everyone!
We're delighted to announce the new Dux Academy is now available at www.duxinaroe.com 

We provide premium courses, teaching Executives, Senior Leaders, Managers and Supervisors, from both the manufacturing and service sectors, how to achieve an increased rate of organisational change and a greater ROI through the conscious development of a Lean Culture.

Our PILOT course is 'Root Cause Analysis and Problem Solving', through which we will provide free 20min coaching sessions for the first 20 subscribers. Similar content will build over the coming months to provide convenient access to this exclusive approach, covering all the Lean tools required to navigate the Lean roadmap below.

The Dux Academy will be your portal to access our exclusive approach to Culture and Culture Change ... This is the critical pre-cursor to the 'Initial Stage' activities, of *Business system Introduction *Communication *Employee Involvement *Strategic plan  *Hoshin Kanri (Policy Deployment) and *Kaizen (as shown in the image above).

The entire corporate world knows that the sustainability of any change initiative has been the greatest challenge since Quality Circles first graced our shores in the late 1970's and early 1980's... and that a lack of sustained change (to deliver continuous process improvement) is a result of a lack of focus on Culture Change!

We've all seen the pattern;
1. Introduce Lean Tools / New Technology as a project,
2. Introuce a Strategic model as a project,
3. Blame the people / culture!
​And repeat!
... with very little idea of how to address, blame, the poor adoption of the new methods or, in general, the culture... other than through the introduction of more tools and technology.

To break that cycle, we utilise the latest findings from the worlds of Neuroscience and Psychology to provide a working definition of culture. Dux leaders come to understand what it takes to create the conditions in which people feel psychologically safe (reducing / removing "resistance to change") which increases the adoption rate of new methods.

Join the Dux Academy free today and we will make sure you're the first to hear when each new course becomes available.

We look forward to seeing you there and helping you with your change initiatives www.duxinaroe.com

I was reflecting (Socratic Reflection / Hansei / Alpha Brain Wave State / Meditation - give it whatever label suits your language register).
​
It dawned on me, that we forget a lot of what we have previously known... and a model I threw together one day about 8 or 9 years ago (to capture a few thoughts) popped into my head ... so I dug it out and gave it the once over.

I just shared this on LinkedIn ... let's see what responses it provokes from some of the biggest names in the global change community?

Thoroughly enjoyed participating in yet another great i&i show with a great panel of guests.
I'm truly honoured to be involved - thanks to all at i&i who set these regular shows up and allow me to have my two pennyworth.

So, it's that time of the month again and we're ready for another great i&i show with a fascinating title ... which prompts an obvious question ... 

Q. Are the current approaches adopted toward change effective?

If you listen to the stats from just M&A, Lean Six Sigma and I.T. implementation histories, you have to put a big question mark over what is currently done.  Talent loss from cultures merging, Flow over batch failing to be integrated into the psyche of a business and billions lost by Governments, Hospitals and Commercial entities about with stories of woe surrounding I.T.

Q. So what's missing? 

That is what we'll hope to touch on in the show later today.

If you realise it's the effectiveness of 'the approach to change itself' that really makes the difference to sustainable organisational performance improvement (more than the content) and you'd like to hear the musings of a few people with extensive experience leading change, follow the link above and join us. See you there.

Another excellent show in which we hear from experts on the issue of innovation in organisations, what's currently being tried, what works and what doesn't. Guests this month are from Siemans and The Milamber Group.
Some really crucial issues were addressed in this episode, making it well worth a listen for anyone aiming to create an organisational culture in which innovation can flourish.

Following the launch of this new on-line show, focused on the world of improvement and innovation in all sectors, Duxinaroe's MD, David Bovis said ... "It was my great pleasure to be a 'regular panel member' for the 1st i&i show last week. A great topic, excellent guests and the start of what promises to be a very valuable service ... tackling the hard issues to stimulate some deep thinking and an advance on change management. I can't wait for the next one!"

If you missed this first show in which Duxinaroe's David Bovis, David Howells of Pacific International and their guests, Jon Theuerkauf from BNY Melon  and Paul Ruggier of Generali discuss the future of software (Robots) further automating tasks in the banking and finance industry, you can catch it again below.

Next episodes and topics will be announced here and on The Dux LinkedIn page, Pacific International website and LI page, on our personal profiles David Bovis, David Howells, twitter, FB pages etc.
