Here are some suggestions for questions for solution-focused coaches or therapists to help clients improve their interactions with others. I present the questions in the form of matrix. This matrix is based on 'the interaction matrix' which is descr…

Hi Hans Peter, thanks. Actually, this was not precisely how I meant it. The outer circle is for 'to do', the inner circle is for 'completed'. Of course, if you want to you can also stack the tasks in the outer circle in such a way that it represents…

I see this relation: Your planning technique for me is based on two principles: 1. to put tasks on a "stack" sorted by priority (= your outer and inner circle) 2. to pull the next most important task when the former task is done

thank you Hans Peter, As a manager, years ago, I applied lean thinking principles to my department. this really led to some interesting results. i could remove quite a lot of waste work, work that was not in the interest of the customer. one thing I…

A fundamental principle of lean manufacturing is demand-based flow manufacturing. In this type of production setting, inventory is only pulled through each production center when it is needed to meet a customer’s order. The benefits of this goal inc…

Hi Hans, i agree that is not so essential. thanks for sending info on the pull principle! is it possible for you to explain the pull principle briefly?
August 27
Well, in Scrum you have two circles: the inner for a day and the outer for the sprint (2 - 4 weeks) All this techniques IMHO have in behind the "pull principle" used in Lean Manufacturing, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_manufacturing#Design_

Hi Hans-Peter, thank you. I did not know this. Do they work with circles too? I did not see them in the documents you sent?

Hi Coert!
Finally I am back in California and I have some time for myself.
I am reading the book "talent is overrated", that you mentioned in your blog posting. Pretty good, thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I liked the part where the author describes what deliberate practice is; the part where he describes Ericson's experiment in Berlin with the violin players; I also liked the distinction between "practice" and "deliberate practice" the author makes, supporting it with the fact about how experience does not add up to better performance.
I might be posting a brief comment about that article in my blog in the next few days, of course crediting you.
Frankly, I could have done without the part where he slams the concept of talent: I think he goes too far. And when authors introduce a new concept by blasting away current wisdom they expose themselves to the risk of being ridiculous: like when he tries to make the point that human abilities, not money, are the real asset now because banks and companies are awash in cash - something that read now makes you either laugh or cry, depending on your mood... :)
other than that, I think he is on to something important!!
Thanks again!!
Wishing you a great, happy and successful 2009,
ciao,
Paolo

PS: I was in Amsterdam Saturday, just connecting at Schipohl on my way to California...

Thanks a lot, Coert!
I was aware of Colvin's work, but I have not read his book; and I haven't gotten the latest Gladwell's book either.
To make a long story short, after checking out what you wrote, I now have both books in my amazon shopping cart.
Xmas break reading! :)

Thanks again for thinking about me in connection with those books.

Right now and up to Xmas I am very very busy with work (which is good), and very little is going on re my writing / research.
I will get back on it during Xmas time, and I might contact you again then for writing something together, if you are still interested.

Cheers,
ciao,
Paolo

Hi Coert!
Do not bother getting Kluge... I thought the book itself was a Kluge!
There are much better books on the design of the human mind and the quirks of our cognition: by Pinker, by Wilson, by Wegner, by Haidt...
I felt the book lacked focus.
Too bad...
cheers,
Paolo

Thanks Coert. Just finished two days facilitating a meeting of operations managers (who had never met in person) of an international high-tech company using solution-focused coaching techniques. No violence. Some agreements. Mostly smiles...must have worked for them :)

Notes

Jumpstart into Solution Focus

You want to learn more about "Solution Focus"?
You prefer a "step by step" introduction instead to start with reading some
voluminous books?
You would appreciate to have a complete "helicopter view" on SF after the first step already?
