Notes:

• Working on the expenses and receipts section. • Went into MSAI for a meeting with the Steve, the GE guy, and other associates. Went over the “LEAN” methodology. • Got a few new ideas from the meeting like: Look at a process from the customer’s point of view – value add? Or non-value add? What do they want and how do you get that for them? Internally there are customers as well. This refers to different products that are handed off from one person to the next. The GE guy introduced us to trystorming vs. brainstorming. 20% brainstorming, 40% implementing, and 40% reworking. Create a “shared” need. Gave an analogy about jumping from a burning platform. If the platform isn’t burning nobody wants to jump from it, but if it is on fire – yeah, I’ll jump. He also used butcher paper and sticky notes (different colors) to create a flow process. You could then move the sticky notes around to alter the flow. Each step was divided into steps and a timeframe was attached to each step. The other cool idea was to give users some sticky notes and let them come up and post the ideas without interrupting the flow of the discussion. After the process was set up, you back through it and talk about the idea (extra) sticky notes. 10 miles. • This actually spanned from 11/29/06-12/1/06. Morning Star Texas emergency surgery. Crystal Tech web hosting disabled the Texas side of the Morning Star system. I had to get the old data and transfer it to a new MySQL database. There was 40 tables, over 100,000 records, and 250 application pages that needed to be mashed together and posted online. Data migration, table and database creation, testing, application changes, and debugging. Steve asked me to separate this one out and bill it to Texas. |
