Trying to Sustain 5S-here’s a good tip I’m sure if you’ve ever implemented or observed 5S, the 5th step “Sustain” can be one of the greatest challenges. Even if the team has been engaged from the beginning, how do you sustain the good effort they’ve done? How about a 5S Implementation Rating & Progress Chart? This serves 2 purposes: 1) Assess the implementation of 5S (whereby a 5S champion is nominated to assess the area against a series of simple criteria), and 2) Assess the sustainability of 5S (through a Leaders Standard Work routine). I created this form so that through a series of simple questions and easy to follow assessment, the user can score the area. Then against an expectation, corrective actions can be determined if below target. In 5S, the first 12 weeks should be a focal point to build the habit. Why not go one step further and do a weekly assessment and use the team to review this on the Friday version of the Daily Management meeting or on the 5S Communications Board? If you’ve found that reviewing measures on a Daily Visual Management Board can improve that metric, why not apply the same rigor to a 5S metric? See link for a free downloadable excel version of the 5S sheet.

Where is your business on the scale of speed vs control? In every company, management establishes business processes (policies) for everything from how to release documents to travel and leave allowances. In each case, there are decisions made on escalating approvals and the number of stakeholders that need to be consulted before the decision is made. Fundamentally, this is applying the level of control that the Executive team want to have over the business, and how much trust they have in their staff to do the right thing. Do they need to be second checked, which takes more time and bureaucracy, or are we willing to let them make the odd mistake in the interests of speed? One of the most interesting reads on this topic is No Rules Rules -the story of Netflix by founder Reed Hastings and author Erin Meyer. Netflix has built a radical culture around hiring only the best staff, and removing all policy controls in the interests of speed. It's not the perfect model for every business, but I'd recommend it to any manager to challenge your thinking around control and trust in your organisation. https://lnkd.in/gEZ_8rAA

Attached is a presentation titled "The Relationship Between Profitability and Solvency in Insurance Companies." It provides an in-depth analysis of the distinction between profitability and solvency, their interrelation, and the regulatory frameworks ensuring insurers maintain financial stability. While profitability reflects an insurer’s ability to generate surplus income, solvency determines its capacity to meet future obligations. This presentation aims to clarify these concepts and offer insights into regulatory oversight. We trust readers will find it informative and valuable. Kindly offer your comments. #profitability #solvency #insurance
