<p><b> Consulting the Management for Man2Metamorphosis </b><br />
Abstract</p>
<p>An organic activity always supports itself with outside help. The present work<br />
uses SETs of men to graduate them as Assets for an organization. The group<br />
of operators deployed by the organization forms one set.<br />
When the individual competencies of men are augmented, the total competency<br />
of a SET at a gross level is better encashable; but it is a function<br />
of rigour of designing of the SETs. To what extent the ingenuity is exploited,<br />
depends upon the manager&#8217;s management process. The success of<br />
assessment process to identify individual competencies is thus vital. How<br />
should the man be deployed as a &#8216;manger&#8217; is the suggested tool to<br />
metamorphism, undertaken by slow training and by SETting up<br />
organizational tasks effectively.<br />
This work statistically exemplifies how the assessment may be conducted at<br />
various levels, and verified for validity embracing an all-around agreement<br />
on the level of 10 most coveted imperatives. The argument as to why an<br />
indulgence of a third party consultation is deemed necessary is also<br />
attempted as a parallel feature. The set up is expected to lead the practitioner<br />
a long way enroute to Improve organizational efficiencies.<br />
Key Words: Strategic Alignment, role of HR, synergy of people in teams.<br />
Man as an asset, SET formation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All Lean guys mean the objective of all operations should be green. So far green was recognised as a colour. Hitherto it has become a philosophy. Like look at elegant, which implies being graceful in appearance and behaviour. On the other hand Toyota’s working definition believes: “An elegant solution is one in which the optimal outcome is achieved with the minimal expenditure of effort and expense.”</p>
<p>An elegant solution should cater for Quality. First time every time, RIGHT<br />
DIRFT is the Philip Crosby&#8217;s mantra.<br />
Thareja modified it to DINRFT  ( Do it now right First time).</p>
<p>It ain&#8217;t come without innovation.</p>
<p>Blogger Guy Kawasaki asks: What links elegance to innovation? </p>
<p>Simple is better. Elegant is better still (…) if it combines with innovation,<br />
Great innovation requires understanding and appreciation<br />
the concept of elegance as it relates to sophistication<br />
solving important problems, with Quality tools and synergisation.</p>
<p>Toyota too practices for creativity: The 10 codes are: </p>
<p>    1. Let Learning Lead<br />
    2. Learn to See<br />
    3. Design for Today<br />
    4. Think in Pictures<br />
    5. Capture the Intangible<br />
    6. Leverage the Limits<br />
    7. Master the Tension<br />
    8. Run the Numbers<br />
    9. Make Kaizen Mandatory<br />
    10. Keep it Lean</p>
<p>      Innovation, like from the Toyota’s back benches,<br />
      to elegance, is well said and is full of meaning;</p>
<p>      That Elegance, as I define is: Beauty with Brains,<br />
      albeit with fulfilment of all Functions and Aims,<br />
      befalling, along with Safety and allied constraints,<br />
      is however not inhibited in any ( of the ten) domains.</p>
<p>      nevertheless, learning is – until the soul it touches!</p>
