Fw: New comment on "I am working on a Six Sigma black belt certificate. There seem to be a number of public library applications in terms of how materials are acquired, moved about, and customers are served. Anyone else?"

There seem to be a number of public library applications in terms of how materials are acquired, moved about, and customers are served. Anyone else? Quality is one of the key knowledge groups in the PMBOK, but I'm finding it also a key focus, especially in an academic library setting. In terms of evaluation and excellence, quality (from the traditional 7QC to Six Sigma) is important fundamental not only for projects, but also with existing operations. From the humble checklist to a process improvement project that includes several key quality tasks, I think that quality definitely needs to be considered on and off projects. There are many levels or approaches to quality. I respect the six sigma training and there is also a PhD offered in Evaluation at Western Michigan University ( http://www.wmich.edu/evalphd/ ) that has a number of great resources published. Even starting small with a few tools added to each project can be a path to quality improvements. Atul Gawande's Checklist Manifesto demonstrates how big an impact even a simple checklist had when introduced in the surgical/medical community (along with providing a very scenic view of checklists in several other industries and a non-specialist approach to developing and implementing checklists).

Nobody is hurting you said Osho …. Learn how not to be sad from Osho / February 23, 2011

Nobody is hurting you said Osho …. Learn how not to be sad from Osho / February 23, 2011 See what you can learn from Osho : "Nobody is hurting you; nobody wants to hurt anybody.  People are beautiful.  If they say that you are sad, they are simply saying that they would like you not to be sad…..they would like you to be happy because your sadness will make them sad also". "Sadness is not anybody's nature; just a mood, a habit, a pattern.  It can be broken.  It is because you have chosen it.  But the way is not to fight it.  The way is to transcend.  So accept it". "It is just an old habit that you slip into again and again.  A habit needs unconsciousness, a habit lives in unconsciousness.  If you become conscious of it, it disappears.  So for three days you be consciously sad, consistently sad, persistently sad.  Don't go here and there; immediately catch hold and come back and be sad.  You will fail!"
