Continuous Quality Improvement
Versus
Top Management

I am amazed at how many people have great ideas that are not seeing the light of day because they have not been accepted by management.

This situation exacts a high cost. It lowers morale, lowers employees regard for management, causes problems to continue and thwarts improvements that would profoundly benefit organizations.

We quality professionals can do a lot to turn off executives inadvertently and hurt our chances of selling good ideas.

But ,Tell me, Have you ever done any of these things or seen others do them :

Demonstrate a lack of business and financial skills. The higher the position, the greater the necessity for global business and financial skills.

Focus too much on techniques. Many quality professionals get so excited about the execution of the methods, they focus on that when speaking to senior managers.

Focus narrowly instead of broadly. If you focus exclusively on matters that directly concern your department, your perceived “value bandwidth” will remain quite narrow.

Feel discomfort around senior managers. Sometimes people are just not comfortable around senior managers, for whatever reason.

Be excessively conservative. In the quality profession, we quite appropriately take great care to check, verify and assure every aspect of our work.

Many quality professionals use kanbans, kaizen, poke yoke and other such terms when talking with top management. You need to understand the theory. The CEO isn't interested in learning Japanese.

Also i developed a small report about the same topic called*"Selling New Ideas To Top Management"* which contain :

1-Understand why precious ideas fail to reach execution.

2-You can't turn your boss from "idiot" into consideratepersonality.

3-Have you ever done any of these things or seen others do them.

4-Developing an idea.

5-Align the idea with organizational goals.

6-Build a business case for your idea.

7-"Dollarize" your suggestion.

8-Engage partners.

9-Become project manager of your idea

10-Make alliances with key managers and peers.
