Overview:
In order to be a productive employee in an organization, skills must be
obtained both in life skills (soft-skills) as
well as tools to support
your work effort. Some tools fall under both categories such as writing
tools (Gannt charts, info mapping, Time management and process flow
charts) that provide written descriptions to help you understand
what’s
going on as part of our communication process.
Other tools help us manage and design how we do
things better in the organization such as Process design, Agile design,
Product management, Just-in-time inventory, and lean management.
Also included is the Balanced score card that
helps you management your design processes.
How do I learn about these items?
Each of the tools will have a hot-link items that will describe the
tool.
Discuss with your learning buddy on to use them during the
training.
If you hand me a hammer
and don’t give me plans for
building something, then all I can
do is pound in nails all day with
no real results. |

images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are
connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch
out from those
