CT E08 Developing the Mindset of a Consultant (Regardless of Whether You Are One) with Anthony Carra
2021 posed many challenges but also presented opportunities to many of us. There is a lot of talk of 2021 being the year of the great resignation, and while this episode is not necessarily about that, I think we can definitely say that folks now have more choices as to their careers, whether it is changing jobs, starting a business or branching out and learning something new. Regardless of what your goals are, today’s episode has valuable advice in store for you, delivered by my guest by Anthony Carra, with whom I unpack the topic of Developing the Mindset of a Consultant (Regardless of Whether You Are One). Anthony is the Owner, Principal Consultant and Instructor at Business Improvement Group Consulting, and he is ready to share with us extremely valuable advice on how to develop and apply the mindset of a consultant, whether you are starting your own consulting business or trying to deliver value to your organization.
In this episode we cover:
– Whether you are a consultant or employed full-time, treat it like it is your own business
– Why consultants sometimes get a “bad rap”
– You can either be and stay an SME in a particular thing or you need to “give away your SME” so you can move on to doing other things
– Anthony’s top 3 pieces of advice for developing the mindset of a consultant

Try this Method to Help with Complex Decisions (DMRCS)
Your team is faced with a complex decision. Maybe it’s complex because you have a lot of options or maybe it’s complex because it’s technically challenging and requires some testing. You may want to consider a structured approach: DMRCS.
RiM 07: Discrete Event Simulation and Risk Matrix
Discrete Event Simulation and Risk Matrix
In this episode, I speak with Andrew Kelleher, MD at RAMS Mentat GmbH on his take on the use of Risk Matrix and how he sees the benefit of not using one for making optimum decisions. We discuss the importance of performing simulation to assess the needs of a system and to determine appropriate maintenance and sparing strategies.
We trivialize complex issues when there are no formal tools and Andrew provides his perspective on how we approach these problems to create a solution based on Discrete Event Simulation.

We’re living in an unprecedented time, where statistically, there are jobs available for every person searching for one. But, employers are expressing that they are having trouble finding workers equipped and able to fill open positions. What this tells us is that the labor shortage is being fueled by a lack of qualified workers.
We have seen countries trying all sorts of ways to combat this problem — Australia allowing children to drive forklifts to ease supply chain issues, the U.S rolling out a federal apprenticeship program that is looking to train new truck drivers who are as young as 18, just to name a few examples.
But, are these viable solutions? We have John S. Mueller, Founder and CEO of SnackLearning, to share his insights about this topic. Tune in and listen today!

Overlapping Ideas: Quality, Reliability, and Safety
We’ve identified safety concerns about our product design. How concerned do we need to be about quality while we’re determining root causes? There is an intersection of quality, reliability, and safety. Let’s talk about how they fit together.
What is Process Capability Analysis (PCA)?
What is Process Capability Analysis (PCA)?
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
A ‘capable’ process is a really weak term for what we are dealing with here. In short, a process is considered ‘capable’ if it creates products that, in spite of all the unavoidable natural variation in production, still fall within the boundaries of what ‘good’ looks like. Perhaps instead of ‘capable’, we should say ‘amazing’! A ‘capable’ process will essentially create products that have a very, very small chance of being defective. So how do we get here? SPC can help. But how do we measure how ‘capable’ our process is? And can we use this measurement to (for example) work out how many Parts Per Million (PPM) defects you are likely to get? This webinar introduces you to the concept of process capability, including well-known indices like CPK, along with what this means for your process. [Read more…]
