QDD 008 Remaking Risk-Based Decisions: Allowing Ourselves to Change our Minds.

Remaking Risk-Based Decisions: Allowing Ourselves to Change our Minds.

Recent news highlights an accident involving a product with tragic results. This podcast explores this as cautionary tale and example outside of our own design house. The goal is to shift our perspectives to let us gain a better understanding of risk-based decisions.

We also talk about allowing ourselves room to change our minds about risk acceptability when we learn new information, both during the design process and from the field.

264 – Crucial Decision with Ryan Sitton

Crucial Decision with Ryan Sitton

Welcome Ryan Sitton to the podcast. Ryan is the founder and CEO of Pinnacle Engineering and has spent a lot of time around reliability and production engineering. Notably, he is the author of “Crucial Decisions”; a book that we will discuss in the episode and how it applies to maintenance and reliability.

More about Ryan:

He has a mechanical engineering background and has worked at a gas company called Oxy and also worked as an Energy Regulator for the State of Texas. He has a PhD in Data Science and is the founder of Pinnacle Engineering.

Data Science has become an inevitable necessity in that; data plays a crucial role in what we tend to accomplish in our daily activities.

In this episode we covered:

  • What is a crucial decision? What makes it different from other ordinary decisions in a facility?
  • What types of crucial decisions brought about the issues we saw in Texas Big Freeze?
  • How does risk assessment fit into decision making? Do we underestimate or overestimate risk?

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

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?
