    Rudyard Kipling; Adventurer, Author, Poet… And a Pioneer of Operational Excellence

    ByJoseph Paris September 8, 2010January 6, 2020

    From time to time, I enjoy a good read of “the classics”. I am not certain why the classics are not taught in grade-school anymore – it is a shame.  There are so many basic life-lessons that transcend the ages and generations and can be gleaned with grand richness from the tales of literary greats…

    Sie brauchen was?! Es dauert wie lange?!

    ByJoseph Paris July 21, 2010January 6, 2020

    “You need what?!” … “It will take how long?!” I have uttered these two questions more than any others during my move to Frankfurt, Germany.  It seems that everything has involved a considerable process –a rather slow and convoluted process at that.  More often than not, the experience has been frustrating, comical, and largely absurd. …

    I truly love my career – well, most of the time and in most aspects of it anyway.  I enjoy the thrills of running my own consultancy firm and being in command of my destiny – even when (perhaps especially when) I need to react to the unexpected.  It seems that I am at my…

    There Must Be a Better Way

    ByJoseph Paris May 5, 2010January 6, 2020

    How many times have we heard this?  How many times have we said it? Personally, I am certain that I say this more than once per day. Sometimes it’s out of frustration, sometimes it’s out of amazement, sometimes it’s just a moment where I give a look and think, “You gotta be kidding me” – it’s the…
