| | From Janelle's Desk |  | Brainstorming is a tool. Like a hammer or a saw, it doesn't do much good unless there's a reason to use it. And, just like any other tool, it really helps if you know how to use it. Everybody can and should be encouraged to think creatively. At the same time, just like any other tool, there are ways to use brainstorming that will consistently yield better results. |
Create an Opportunity Statement
From a business perspective, every successful journey does begin with the end in mind. This statement should specifically define the issue that you wish to address as well as the implications, and the statement should be relatively short, perhaps a few sentences.
Evaluate the Issue
How bad is the problem, really? What is the financial impact? How does this affect the company? Can the problem be better defined? You have to determine whether pursuing this opportunity isworthwhile, and if so, why?
Create an Action Plan with Measurable Results
Your action plan should layout a strategy to resolve the problem, specify the required resources, delegate the required tasks to theappropriate people, and include effective measurements that you can use toevaluate your progress as well as the end result.
Implement the Plan
What are called 'personal brainstorming tools' come into play in this area.These are the techniques that individuals use to plan and implement theirown project and task-based work.
Until next month...

A man is known by the designation he keeps. This universal truth is applicable in all areas of business. Designation is all. A manager will accept low pay, long working hours, unreasonable demands being placed on him, forsaking his family and friends etc. as long as he has a nice designation with a company car and big office to go along with it.
He will do any work as long as the designation makes him happy. The office stationery assistant may not be proud of his role and may do only what he needs to get by. But call him the Deputy Additional Associate Assistant Vice President for Essential Documentation Policies and you have a happy camper. With this designation you can push him twice as hard and he won't mind. After all, as a VP (kind of!) he knows what management pressure can be like.
Providing him with a company car and a bigger office costs little because you can get rid of everyone else in the department and work this willing slave to death. It sounds funny, but it is not. It is a serious issue. Many companies use designations as a carrot to squeeze more work out of employees. It's also a relatively cheap way to keep people happy. But this is a short sighted policy and will backfire in the long run. What happens when the employee burns out? Or if he survives, how do you reward him? Make him CEO for Hard Copies?The whole situation can, and often has, descended into being ridiculous and becoming a joke, both inside and outside to company. Besides all the problems it can cause, how would you feel if you worked for an organization with a Senior Executive President in charge of Floor Sanitation? | | |
