Hari ini Ramli dengar bahawa PM Najib telah syorkan agar rakyat lebih berinovatif dan kreatif supaya prestasi negara akan dapat di tingkatkan dan memenuhi aspirasi negara seperti Wawasan 2020.
Aktiviti KIK@ICC telah pun wujud sejak 1983 dan sudah hampir 31 tahun kita usahakan KIK@ICC di sektor kerajaan dan swasta.
Malangnya penubuhan KIK@ICC sangat lembab dan “slow” hanya segelintir yang berdaftar dan menjalankan projek mereka.
Jika kita analisis KIK@ICC kita akan dapati mereka membuat projek mereka dalam linkungan 12 bulan atau ada yang 18 bulan lamanya dari mula hingga tamat projek mereka.Ini adalah terlalu lama dan bukan lah produktif dan berwibawa!
Di negara Jepun QCC mereka sudah berjaya membuat projek dalam linkungan 4-6 bulan dan penubuhan QCC bukan lah setakat ratusan sahaja malahan sudah ratusan ribu ramainya.
Kita perlu banyak KIK@ICC kerana masalah atau penambahbaikkan yang kita ketengahkan adalah sangat banyak dan hanya dengan banyaknya KIK@ICC di organisasi kita baru lah realistik kita menjadi produktif,kualiti,dan sentiasa membuat Breakthrough dalam kerja atau prestasi kita.
Yang menjadi masalah seperti yang Ramli kaji adalah lembabnya pihak Pengurusan Atasan khususnya dalam mempromosi atau mengalakkan warga kerja mereka untuk melibatkan diri dalam projek KIK@ICC tersebut.Kenapa?
Semasa KMK@QCC dimulakan 1983 dahulu mesej KMK@QCC datangnya dari PM,Menteri2,KSN,KSU2,Ketua Pengarah2 dan Pengarah2.Semua terlibat dan semua ingin tahu perkembangan semasa KMK@QCC mereka.Sekarang KIK@ICC hanya dikhususkan oleh Jabatan Inovasi untuk promosi atau kembangkan,Kenapa?
Pegawai yang bertanggung jawab pun berjawatan rendah bukan tahap Jusa atau M58 seterusnya.Jika ini statusnya tentulah warga kerja akan tidak serious dan takde isu kepentingan atau urgent untuk kewujudan KIK@ICC,betul tak?
Hanya Konvensyen KIK@ICC jadi tumpuan ramai dan ini hanya melibatkan segelintir warga kerja mungkin hanya 5 % kesuluruhan tenaga kerja organisasi.Sepatutnya setiap organisasi patut ada 100% penyertaan KIK@ICC dan ini bermakna jika organisasi anda ada 1000 orang maka jumlah KIK@ICC anda patut ada (1000/10/KIK) = 100 KIK yang wujud.Ini bermakna kita boleh jayakan 100 projek KIK dan pastinya faedah ketara dan tidak ketara akan banyak dan membanggakan.Sekarang kebanyakkannya hanya ada hampir 1-10 KIK dalam organisasi yang 1000 orang tersebut,kenapa?
Ramli fikir usaha BARU dan Azam Baru perlu diwujudkan oleh Pengurusan Atasan dalam memastikan secara 100% Komitmen dan Participation of semua warga kerja dalam projek2 KIK@ICC tersebut.Buatlah azam ini untuk tahun 2015 ini!
Hanya dengan cara atau startegi ini barulah apa yang PM najib hasratkan akan tercapai dengan ratusan ribu inovasi dan projek2 yang membanggakan negara,organisasi dan setiap individu2 kerja.Inshallah.
Bagi yang berminat untuk memulakan KIK@ICC hubungi Ramli Abu Hassan di HP:+6019-2537165 / 0355450975 atau emel: ramlipromoter@yahoo.com

• Revolusi Aksi –Beraksi Untuk Kecemerlangan

Apakah Revolusi Aksi ?
Dari buku yang ditulis oleh Encik Ramli Abu Hassan-Pengasas dan Bekas Pengarah Urusan,Diversified Promotion & Service Sdn.Bhd. (DPS),beliau telah mendefinasikan Revolusi Aksi bermaksud “suatu perubahan radikal dalam sistem sosial kemanusiaan di mana kelompok atau komuniti manusia digalakkan bertindak (beraksi) untuk mencapai hasrat atau matlamat yang telah ditetapkan.”
Setelah Buku dan Gerakan Revolusi Mental di perkenalkan pada tahun 1971 di Malaysia oleh Y.B. Datuk Senu Abdul Rahman (Allahyarham) dan barisan panel penulisnya,objektif Revolusi Mental adalah diharapkan akan “mengubah cara berfikir,pandangan dan sikap anggota masyarakat bagi menyesuaikan diri dengan kehendak masa untuk mendorong mereka lebih giat lagi bagi merebut kemajuan dalam segala bidang hidup.”
Oleh kerana pencapaian objektif Revolusi Mental ini masih jauh dari sasarannya ,maka usaha memperkenalkan Revolusi Aksi diharap akan menjadi pemangkin kepada Gagasan Revolusi Mental dan agar dapat memajukan bangsa Melayu (khasnya) dan bangsa lain di Malaysia (amnya).Teras Revolusi Aksi ini adalah untuk bergerak langkah (beraksi)setelah segala resolusi atau pelan tindakan telah di siap atau sediakan.Tanpa aksi kita tidak akan dapat hasil dan tidak akan maju kehadapan.
Revolusi Aksi telah diilhamkan oleh Encik Ramli dengan berpandukan kepada Formula Putaran Revolusi Aksi yang merangkumi 4 Elemen atau Komponen Utama iaitu Komponen Pemikiran,Tindakan,Pengukuran dan Disiplin.Ia juga mengandungi 7

faktor utama pada setiap komponen komponen yang tersebut tadi.Putaran Revolusi Aksi boleh juga di panggil dengan Putaran 4Ex(4×7)F.Dengan mengapplikasikan Falsafah Revolusi Aksi ini maka barulah kita dengan cara objektif dan sebenarnya akan melihat perubahan akan berlaku dan hasil akan mula tercatat dan banyak lagi tindakan boleh di susuli untuk usaha penambahbaikan dan menuju ketahap “World Class” – Bertaraf Dunia.

AS informed before when comes May 13th,its time for us to review all the CROOKS and their bad hearted and mindset to cheat innocent people especially their money,time and trust!

The ongoing 3AIG and GPLF stories of Conmen and Crooks where many thousands of Malays especially have been cheated and conned is a SAD Story.

Why?

They have been promised of good returns on investment (ROI) for their investments in the earlier HIBAH,3AIG and later GPLF Schemes BUT nothing have been achieved or NO Money received so far at all.If you read Ramli earlier postings on this same subject on 13thMay,2013 there were millions of RM invested and almost over 40,000 people are effected by these schemes and looks like SCAMS….

Ramli have been contacted by the Raub Police to help in their investigation of the GPLF Resort in Raub which happen to have Tuan Hj Anuar Abdul Aziz (now Dato Seri) as one of the Main Owner.They want Ramli together with his MEMBERS to officially make a POLICE REPORT and informed all the details of what happened in the Hibah,3AIG and GPLF Schemes.

Ramli have prepared the DRAFT but just did not send yet the Report to the nearby Police Station ie.in Shah Alam.

So many of Ramli Members have also meninggal dunia (died) and it is so sad that they do not see or realized their ROI.

Ramli feel so responsible to GET The TRUTH and JUSTICE DONE to this Episodes of Innocent People being cheated by these 3AIG and GPLF Crooks.These Crooks are still continuing their bad works and many more innocent people who invested get cheated and no ROI.

Its time to get all these CROOKS to STOP all thesse bad habits,scams and cheating and return back all the money that people have invested and trusted them with.YES Return back all their money even though they may not receive any dividends or profits…..

Ramli hoped these actions will be made by Y.Bhg Dato Seri Hj Anuar Abdul Aziz and his TEAM immediately and without any more delay or frustrations what more cheatings and tipu…..

Allah SWT Knoweth’s All and only ALLAH SWT will reward and punish for those that are doing right and wrong.

Contact Ramli at HP:+6019-2537165 or email: ramlipromoter@yahoo.com for any comments,sugestions and enquries….

TEAMWORK

Teamworking is different from team-building. It measures the degree to which teams are the building block of the organisation, where teams have full responsibility for an entire product or service.

My Rating MEASURES

1 People think of themselves as just doing a job, not in a team.
Co-operation between work-groups is patchy; there is rivalry and
points-scoring between teams.
Workers don’t act as a team with management – it’s difficult to
make changes without suspicion or opposition.

2
Staff generally co-operate with changes the company wants to make.
Work-groups have specific measurable team objectives.
Staff know who their customers are, external and internal.
They look like a team, help each other to get the job done.

3 Work groups meet as a team daily, or at least monthly.
Team members and team leaders all have clear roles.
They make specific performance contracts with customers.
They display performance data publicly in their team area.
Staff are multi-skilled and can cover a variety of jobs.

4 Teams are organised around processes or products.
Teams set their own objectives, manage their own budgets, resolve problems and make innovations.
Cross-disciplined project teams used to tackle big issues.

5 Teams exist everywhere, and have become a way of life.
Self-directed teams are set up and working effectively.
The versatility in teams means they cope with change well.
Teams celebrate achievements and expect success.

Seven New Management and Planning Tools
In 1976, the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) saw the need for tools to promote innovation, communicate information and successfully plan major projects. A team researched and developed the seven new quality control tools, often called the seven management and planning (MP) tools, or simply the seven management tools. Not all the tools were new, but their collection and promotion were.
The seven MP tools, listed in an order that moves from abstract analysis to detailed planning, are:
1. Affinity Diagram: organizes a large number of ideas into their natural relationships.

2. Relations Diagram: shows cause-and-effect relationships and helps you analyze the natural links between different aspects of a complex situation.

3. Tree Diagram: breaks down broad categories into finer and finer levels of detail, helping you move your thinking step by step from generalities to specifics.

4. Matrix Diagram: shows the relationship between two, three or four groups of information and can give information about the relationship, such as its strength, the roles played by various individuals, or measurements.

5. Matrix Data Aanalysis: a complex mathematical technique for analyzing matrices, often replaced in this list by the similar prioritization matrix. One of the most rigorous, careful and time-consuming of decision-making tools, a prioritization matrix is an L-shaped matrix that uses pairwise comparisons of a list of options to a set of criteria in order to choose the best option(s).

6. Arrow Diagram: shows the required order of tasks in a project or process, the best schedule for the entire project, and potential scheduling and resource problems and their solutions.

7. Process Decision Program Chart (PDPC): systematically identifies what might go wrong in a plan under development.
Excerpted from Nancy R. Tague’s The Quality Toolbox, Second Edition, ASQ Quality Press, 2004.
