Whereas Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC had previously been autonomous, having their own command and control, they were brought under the control of The System on the 14th floor. That's when all distinctions between the various makes began to disappear and "badge engineering" or just making minor cosmetic differences differentiate the brands became the norm.</b><br /><br />In the end, the auto business is product driven. But at General Motors, the bean counters were in control. Firmly in control. And they can be fiercely bottom-line driven, even to the detriment of a company's long-term health. As Delorean said, “A man trained and skilled only in financial control, who has no direct operational experience, simply lacks the understanding necessary to run the business.” But that didn’t stop the attack of the bean counters, for run the business they did, straight into its grave. Like a dinosaur that rules the animal kingdom through sheer size and weight, GM’s momentum carried it for a very long time. But, to paraphase Abe Lincoln, you can’t fool all the people all the time, or even enough of the people for a manufacturing company tyrannically driven by its financial staff to be successful. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Japanese car companies like Honda were helmed by engineers as U.S. companies once were, but American companies were now run by accountants. This approach can only work for a limited time, for it contains the seeds of its own destruction.<br /><br />GM is selling a brand new, re-invented Camaro that does everything right but it's essentailly an updated, old-school muscle car, launched when the market is in a sober, conservative mood. The company has announced that its quantum leap of engineering, the Volt plug-in extended-range electric vehicle, will be available in late 2010 for the 2011 model year. That will be a real accomplishment, but at a projected $40,000 price, the Volt will face stiff competition. General Motors is feverishly off-loading its life-sucking Hummer, Saturn, and Saab brands, closing plants, laying off workers and developing new models. A bankruptcy would have the advantage of allowing the company to shut down brands without suffering massive lawsuits from dealers while it gives GM breathing space to develop smart new models.

General Motors executives have precious little time to save what was once the world's mightiest manufacturing company. <br /><br />Will General Motors' near death experience bring about a spiritual awakening?

A culture born of an elite clique of accountant princes developed a stranglehold on the corporation when <b>"The System"</b> of management was born. <b>Executives were no longer promoted on the basis of achievement or talent, but on how well they supported “The System.”</b> John Delorean describes the suffocating culture of GM’s airless, beige 14th floor executive suites in his 1973 book, On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors. <b>DeLorean cites case after case when his efforts to enhance the quality of GM cars was thwarted by a stultifying lack of concern for anything but avoiding a threat to The System and next quarter’s numbers.</b> The executives that ran GM lived like princes, chauffered to 14th floor offices where plush carpets hushed any sign of dissent from The System. And The System worked, didn't it? GM was the largest manufacturing company in the world, wasn't it?<br /><br />The problem? <b>The System rewards mediocrity. Encourages it. Nourishes it,</b> even This might not be so dangerous when a company enjoys a comfy spot in an oligopoly, as GM and its companions in Detroit's Big Three manufacturers did for a long while. <b>Then Vokswagen arrived to show Americans that a small car could be fun to drive and quality built. This was a lesson the Japanese took and ran with.</b><br /><br />Now, colossal General Motors lays on the mat staring upwards, its face glazed with an expression of incomprehension as the ref counts down its fate.<br /><br />Some blame fat U.A.W. contracts for General Motors’ difficulties <b>but weren’t those granted by the company''s management?</b> And, isn’t that the same management that sucked the content and quality from GM cars for decades, saving a buck here or there while import carmakers relentlessly added value and captured market share?</i><br /><br />cont....Susannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-7178211610999491582010-05-17T09:51:57.682-04:002010-05-17T09:51:57.682-04:00The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation working on...The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation working on Sweat-Triggered Vaccines<br /><br />Foundation Funds 78 New Innovative Global Health Projects, Including Cell Phone Blood Tests, Carnivorous Plants, and Sweat-Triggered Vaccines<br /><br />Grants from 18 countries poised to help prevent and diagnose infectious disease and promote family health<br /><br />LONDON — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today announced 78 grants of US$100,000 each in the latest round of Grand Challenges Explorations. Grants include the development of a low-cost cell phone microscope to diagnose malaria, study of the strategic placement of insect-eating plants to reduce insect-borne diseases, and investigation of nanoparticles to release vaccines when they come in contact with human sweat. The grants support research across 18 countries and six continents.<br /><br />“Grand Challenges Explorations continues to generate unique and creative ways to tackle global health issues,” said Dr. Tachi Yamada, president of the Gates Foundation’s Global Health Program. “We are convinced that some of these ideas will lead to new innovations and eventually solutions that will save lives.”<br /><br />This year’s European grantees are based at universities, research institutes and non-profit organizations.

I agree that the only way Six ...Constance, David,<br /><br /> I agree that the only way Six Sigma could be realized is with a completely interconnected system with total tracking capabilities. After watching some of the video David provided it has become evident that this will be considered the 'Perfected' Business model, much in the same way they are looking toward the 'Perfected' man.<br /><br /> But what's in a name? Most know the significance of the number 6, but what of sigma? <br /><br />Sigma (upper case Σ, lower case σ, lower case in word-final position ς; Greek Σίγμα) is the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, and carries the 'S' sound. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 200. When used at the end of a word, and the word is not all upper case, the final form (ς) is used, e.g. Ὀδυσσεύς (Odysseus) - note the two sigmas in the center of the name, and the word-final sigma at the end. It is not to be confused with the cedilla ç.<br /><br />The letter is ultimately derived from Phoenician Šin 𐤔. However, its name derives from Samekh.<br /><br />Shin (also spelled Šin (šīn) or Sheen) is the twenty-first letter in many Semitic abjads, including Phoenician 𐤔, Aramaic/Hebrew ש, and Arabic ﺵ (in abjadi order, 13th in modern order). Its sound value is a voiceless sibilant, IPA: [ʃ] or /s/.<br /><br />The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Sigma (Σ), Latin S, and the letter Sha in the Glagolitic and Cyrillic scripts (Ⱎ, Ш).<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_(letter)<br /><br />Funny play on words, is it not?JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920090468134075271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-5891331108118912272010-05-17T09:19:25.587-04:002010-05-17T09:19:25.587-04:00I am not sure what of Six Sigma has transpired to ...I am not sure what of Six Sigma has transpired to at this point, but I became Six Sigma Certified with Nokia back in 2000/2001. One thing I can say is that it is anything but a worker bee mentality. What it did do is provide a structured way for people to solve problems. They did just pick anyone to become certified. When I went through it, there was not anything new ageish that I recall.Agie95noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-24950208050572314972010-05-17T09:11:18.846-04:002010-05-17T09:11:18.846-04:00Battle Creek David,

I am weary of groups claiming they can cure autism. Providing more services and adaptations is the way to go. On the other hand, I can't force someone to think like me. I often tell this to gay people I know, that if they are truly wired a certain way then they should leave marriage and family alone, because it's not for them, they can do other things with their lives. <br /><br />SavvyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-23992551881715460152010-05-17T09:03:48.177-04:002010-05-17T09:03:48.177-04:00Here are some links regarding Six Sigma, including...Here are some links regarding Six Sigma, including some instructional videos:<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/26bf7he<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/27w9qbp<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/2eq4r5q<br /><br />Hopefully, these links work.

He has uploaded the film to his youtube page for free public viewing. In addition to a interview by Constance contained within the film, he covers the history of New Age and Theosophy in a way I have never seen presented in a video format. In addition he covers many modern projects as well as thoroughly refuting the lies of the Aquarian Age. The film is in 14 parts on his page, which are numbered accordingly. A great film for those not familiar with the history, those not familiar with some more modern projects and doctrines, or for those wishing to share with others that will not take the time to read the volumes of material.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/27dfu9sJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920090468134075271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-64409759623651569912010-05-16T23:23:01.478-04:002010-05-16T23:23:01.478-04:00Well, I was offline and off tv most of today and s...Well, I was offline and off tv most of today and saw the headines on Puerto Rican earthquake on CNN.
