Please join us this Thursday for a presentation
"Raising
Standards – The Key to Competitiveness"
by
Mr Franco Del
Rosario
This
thursday's lunch programme will feature Mr Franco del Rosario from our
sister club Makati West. He owns his own business consultancy firm with
a few other partners.
He has
prepared the following highlight for his presentations:
“In business, “why, who, when, what, how” to raise standards?
Let’s
take the first question: why raise standards? U.S. studies showed that
most firms operate on a 3 sigma level. These studies also showed that
when firms moved from a 3 sigma to a 6 sigma level, the cost of the
defects drop from 20% to 30% of sales to only 1% of sales.
What standards to raise?
You, Your
People, Your Products, Your Services, Your Community Presence.
How to raise standards?
We need
to raise standards more than others. The key to competitiveness for
firms would be following what a “pole-vaulter” does; to jump high enough
to clear the bar. Then, do it again, and again, and again each time the
bar is raised.”
