QDD 007 Need to innovate? Stop brainstorming and try a systematic approach.
Need to innovate? Stop brainstorming and try a systematic approach.
When we’re trying to innovate, we can get trapped into the old thinking that the solution has to be out there somewhere. We need to think outside the box to find the solution to a problem.
We should stop brainstorming and, instead, think inside the box with Systematic Inventive Thinking. We use systematic approaches to do lots of things, and being innovative can be one of them, too.
This podcast blog talks about the shortcomings of group brainstorming sessions and a different approach to innovation.

263 – Leadership with Rob Kalwarowsky
Leadership with Rob Kalwarowsky
Welcome Rob back to the Podcast. You were the founder of Rob’s Reliability Project and later started working as a co-host of the Leadership Launchpad Podcast and Dismantling the High Performance Narrative. Although, tell us more about yourself.
Rob- Having worked in reliability for ten years- transitioning across manufacturing, mining, and presently in an oil pipeline, it is clear that the biggest gap in the industry is in leadership. This became apparent after the observation of shop floor teams in different sites. Some leadership teams rarely listened to them and that drove a lack of psychological safety.
In this episode we covered:
- What drove you to this ?
- What is your definition of leadership?
- Why is leadership important to culture change?

RM 068: An Interview with Me (Mike Konrad) on the Pick-Place Podcast with Chris Denney and Melissa Hough
An Interview with Me (Mike Konrad) on the Pick-Place Podcast with Chris Denney and Melissa Hough
Episode 68:
I was privileged to be a guest on the Pick-Place Podcast with Chris Denney (Worthington Assembly) and Melissa Hough (CircuitHub). This is the first of a two-part interview.
In this episode we are joined by Mike Konrad to chat about board cleaning. Mike founded Aqueous Technologies in 1992 in response to the Montreal Protocol and the resulting international treaty banning most popular cleaning/defluxing solvents. Their board cleaning equipment assists manufacturers with increasing product reliability while saving both water and energy, reducing the industry’s environmental impact.
In addition to being the President of Aqueous Technologies, he is also a fellow podcaster and runs the Reliability Matters Podcast, which discusses reliability of circuit assemblies, reliability “best practices” and success stories.
In the first part of this conversation we delve into the history of board cleaning, the electronics the industry’s transition to primarily using no-clean flux, and why more and more companies are reintroducing board cleaning back into their assembly process.
If you want to listen to us get into the nitty gritty details of how to implement a proper circuit board cleaning process, make sure to listen to the second half of this episode.

QDD 006 HALT! Watch out for that weakest link
HALT! Watch out for that weakest link
HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) uses the weakest link mentality. We apply stresses beyond what our designs would normally see in the environment to make something fail. It’s meant to be an iterative test program where you are testing, analyzing the results, determining the root cause, fixing the design, and then testing it, again.
Listen-in to the podcast or read the transcript to find out more about its roots, why you should perform HALT (or not), when in the design process it’s best (hint: really early), and who likely needs to be involved.
How to Make a Decision
How to Make a Decision
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
If nothing changes, then nothing changes. Change happens when we decide to do something. The status quo remains if we decide to do nothing. We make decisions every day. We do it so often that it might seem like a trivial thing to do. But we so often get it wrong. We might be influenced by emotion, prejudice, time pressure, budgetary stress, or ‘mental comfort.’ [Read more…]
