Kallokain: The Lost World – A vacation project
http://kallokain.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-lost-world-vacation-project.html
From the Trenches of Business Management Consulting. Saturday, August 02, 2014. The Lost World – A vacation project. I recently had to jump head first from a cliff to escape a T-Rex. I am on vacation, and I can't stand having nothing to do, so, I decided to run a little vacation project. Because I am interested in photography, never outgrew my fascination with dinosaurs, and read the occasional comic, I decided on a Lost World photo comic project. The Plan: The Lost World. Writing a Lost world book would...

From the Trenches of Business Management Consulting. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Falsification - A gullibility defense. When there is no time to think, you cannot think." Quote by Tim, my 9 year old son. Photo: Henrik Mårtensson. Unless you live alone in a cave in the mountains, you are awash in a flood of ideas, from the time in the morning when you greet your significant other, or start up your computer, to the moment you fall asleep at night. Human brains tend to favor extreme predictions, either ext...

From the Trenches of Business Management Consulting. Friday, January 18, 2008. Increase Customer satisfaction with Net Promoter Score. Net Promoter Score is a quick and easy way to measure customer satisfaction. Originally, the method was based on asking a single question. In this article I'll show how the original method works, and how it can be enhanced by adding two more questions. I'll also discuss some of the claims and counter claims about how useful the method really is. I like to set up the sprea...

Kallokain: Why smart people get depressed, and what you can do about it
http://kallokain.blogspot.com/2014/09/why-smart-people-get-depressed-and-what.html
From the Trenches of Business Management Consulting. Sunday, September 07, 2014. Why smart people get depressed, and what you can do about it. About a week ago I posted an article on the IHM Business School blog about an important, but very taboo subject. At more than 15,000 unique page views the first few days, it is probably the most read article I have ever written. With more than 130 comments on the IHM Blog, it is certainly the most discussed. Robin Williams recent suicide, received a lot of coverag...

Photo was taken by John J. Kruzel/American Forces Press Service, and placed in the public domain. Downloaded from Wikimedia. I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone. By now I am sure you have heard that Robin Williams.

Kallokain: Defining Kanban
http://kallokain.blogspot.com/2009/06/defining-kanban.html
From the Trenches of Business Management Consulting. Tuesday, June 09, 2009. There has been a long thread in the kanbandev group at Yahoo about how to define what a kanban system is, and is not. Defining kanban is important because without an unambiguous definition it is difficult to discuss kanban. Note that some things necessary to have a kanban system are external to the kanban system itself. It is also worth noting that you cannot describe a kanban system by describing only the physical system...
