The Helix Factor II - the implementer's edition (Book) - 5/25/2004 10:02:30 AM
WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE BEST PRACTICES FOR BPI
Reviewer: Richard, CPA, CISA, CBM (BPI Consultant)from Madison, WI USA
WOW! The book's subtitle says it all—these ARE the keys to creating efficiencies in business processes. Michael Wood extends the lessons learned in his first book, The Helix Factor, by providing a working manual, complete with templates and instructions. Using an actual case study, Mr. Wood shows you how to apply the Helix tools to business improvement. This is the only guide I have found that is useful as a field book to facilitating a process improvement project.
The Hexlix Factor II will definitely help you launch projects and ultimately bring them to a successful conclusion. This authoritative guidebook provides all the tools you need to your make business processes more efficient and create a positive impact to your bottom line.
The only thing missing is an electronic version of the templates used in the Helix approach. However, given the fact that they are relatively easy to construct and will provide a valuable learning experience from the reader, their omission does not detract from the importance of the material.
The Helix Factor: The Key to Streamlining Your Business Processes (Book) - 5/25/2004 9:59:56 AM
WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR COMPETITORS
Once I started reading this book, I was so hooked on the Helix approach that I absolutely had to read Helix II, the Implementer's Guide (more about that later). Then, after reading the first chapter, I recall saying aloud, "Finally, someone can explain how to align business processes to strategies and strategies to stakeholders' wants and needs. This author understands what line-of-site is all about." Using a series of easy to understand common-sense principles and factors, Mr. Wood provides a high-level step-by-step approach to making business process improvement a reality. If you are ready to change the way you do business, and want to get the edge on your competitors, this is a must read. To obtain a full appreciation for
the Helix methodology, however, you must read the Helix Factor II-The Implementer's Guide. This definitive guide will give you all the tools you need to make your business processes more efficient and create a positive impact on your bottom line. It is an investment in your businesses' future.

You can be proud of the effort you put into this excellent work Michael.I agree with the bulk of your ideas here but being me would not be able to go along with it all,one bit in particular flustered me,the bit about keeping uninvited opinions to myself,my big mouth just has to say what I think,sorry but that's me,I think you understand,(smile),anyway matey,you work above was excellent...well done indeed!Hug from kay.0

Healthcare Reform (Article) - 8/10/2009 5:15:39 AM
Of course, there is nothing wrong with our health care, it's the best in the world. However, we do have some things that need to be worked out with our health care insurance. You have some good ideas, M R . Now all we need is to elect some honest Americans to congress to work on it.

No Answers (Poetry) - 6/21/2009 3:34:14 AM
I think I understand this all too well...losing so much more than just a dear friend...with time it will be easier to handle such a loss...specially through death!!
"No answers fill the voids left by silent prayers
And in this fog of pain there’s only paths of fear
Friends have fallen from my view
Loneliness in colored hues
Shred the very essence of my soul
LOVE Tinka

I like the repeating of the third and last stanzas, almost gives it a musical quality. Desperation in this weighs heavy on the reader until we are there with you.
No Answers (Poetry) - 6/17/2009 5:08:28 PM
So lonely and lost and a heavy sadness that pierces one's soul...
Be always safe,
Karen

The Lesson (Poetry) - 2/13/2009 10:27:08 AM
What we choose to learn in our lifetime
is ours to keep for eternity.
We learn what we want to learn,
and others learn what THEY want to learn too.
But each hold the lessons close to their hearts
and transform them into valuable memories.
No one lesson learned is same as another's lesson,
for we all walk different paths.
At the end of the journey,
We are the one who will face God alone...
Sandie Angel :o)
I Need You (Poetry) - 2/9/2009 8:00:00 AM

Michael this is ONE "bloody" fine offering...haunting imagery...but a reality sometimes when there is a knock at your door !!
Picture reminded me of a green eyed monster that once said "be afraid Very AFRAID!!
