Validation Rules

This book I received as a gift continues to have a huge impact on me. “Thank you for being late – The Optimist Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations” by Thomas Friedman. Friedman was explaining how many innovations come from open source challenges. “Millions of hours of free labor are being unlocked by tapping into people’s innate desires to innovate, share and be recognized for it.” He mentions Meg Whitman and HP using an open source cloud architecture and leveraging the community. “…we have one hundred thousand developers who don’t work for us – but what they can do in a week, we couldn’t do in a year.” She goes on to say “I am convinced that the world is driven by validation and that is what makes these communities so powerful. People are driven by their desire for others in their community to validate their work.” Wow when was the last time we really validated our team members? Shows, once again, how people crave that validation and that money is way less of a driver than the respect and recognition of others.

Crowd Sourcing, Validation

Ann Banning - Wright

CLIENT:	Large Engineering Firm
CHALLENGE:	Extend and secure new contracts in the area of Data Centers for telecommunication, finance and media industries.
RESEARCH:	Designed face-to-face interviews that reveal the challenges and the breakdowns that cause the most pain in data centers.
DISCOVERY OF UNTAPPED POTENTIAL:	Identified “downtime” as the most critical concern evidenced by a financial institution losing $260 million dollars a minute when their check processing centers went off line. A variety of well- intentioned vendors, designers, departments and process operators were responsible for getting back online but we discovered they were often working independently in silo’s – a cumbersome and inefficient response to an expensive problem.
HARNESS POTENTIAL:	Plucked individuals from across departments and disciplines to assemble a team dedicated to “Collaborative Design and Operations for Data Center Uptime. Newly formed team collaboratively built and marketed a unique practice promising result. Data Center Uptime Named the Offer > OnlinEnivronments. Specified all the moving parts of the OnlineEnvironments Design Solution and the cost benefit. Geography of Facility – Architecture and Engineering of Facility – IT Infrastructure and Facilities Management – Process Design and Outage Prevention Management
RESULTS:	Out-of-the-gate this untapped potential accelerated growth and generated 14million dollars of new revenue. This success demonstrates how a distinctive solution accelerates a company’s capacity to become market leaders, to choose their clients and to charge more for it. The optimum result of working with Bright Operations is the creation of a structural and operational eco-system that is sustainable over time, producing preferred transactions and smart market extensions over and over again. In other words, “Wow, we’ve done it again!”

Did you know… An experiment reveals that elephants not only cooperate but that they understand the logic behind teamwork. Now that’s a smart human lesson learned from the animal kingdom!

In his book, The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything, Stephen M. R. Covey writes that trust is an essential element in business: “When trust goes up, speed goes up while costs come down.” Conversely, “When trust goes down, speed goes down and costs come up.”
