ABOUT THE EVENT We fear robots will take over the world, virtual reality will replace normal relationships and new technologies will destroy our jobs. Nevertheless, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will make data the currency and this will be increasingly accessible to all. However, we have to avoid isolating ourselves into our own personal virtual space. The future of innovation has numerous challenges, many of which are human and not technical. ABOUT YOUR SPEAKER Peter Merrill is a Keynote Speaker on Innovation and has keynoted at conferences in cities such as Dubai, Mumbai and Shanghai. He has spoken in Prague, London and Helsinki. He began his career in R&D working on projects such as desalination and acrylics for carbon fibre. Later, as Chief Executive of one of the leading Design Brands in Europe, he led Innovation in one of the most demanding markets. He is an Engineer, an Artist and a Writer, and has led Innovation in the fields of both Graphic Art and Engineering. He is one of North America’s foremost authorities on Management Systems which he has implemented in such innovative companies as IBM, A.I.G., and R.I.M. He chairs the Canadian National Committee to ISO/TC279, the Technical Committee on Innovation Management, and also chairs the ASQ Innovation Think Tank. He is author of the books “Innovation Generation”, “Innovation Never Stops”, “The Executive Guide to Innovation” and “Do It Right the Second Time”. He writes the Innovation Column for Quality Progress. *****************************************

Happ New Year to everyone! A Quality 2018 you will hopefully have. Occasionally I have done follow-ups on past articles I have written in this corner. Today, a short follow-up on my article from April 2016. After almost 2 years, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada released today (January 10, 2018) its final report on the plane crash that killed Jean Lapierre and members of his family, the pilot and co-pilot. The co-pilot, Frabrice Labourel, was the focus of my April 2016 article. You can read the CBC article here, as well as watch an official computer recreation from the TSBC here. No amount investigation and cause analysis can bring back the lives of those that were taken. But investigations like this, and the science required to make them happen, are important in order to assure that lessons are learned, and that future pilots can be trained to deal with situations differently. Let's hope that the learning begins in earnest. *******************************************************

A Word
from
your Section Chair
From a recent Chit Chat evening, here is my Pecha Kucha list for this year’s first article. Our last section event of 2017 was the Pecha Kucha (PK) presentation and it was a success. If it is hard to coordinate an evening with one presenter, see how well you can do with four of them. Thanks to our Program Chair and newly elected Section Vice-chair Eric Hosking. Not to forget BSI who introduced the concept (our long time cosponsor), and carried over by our record breaking Newsletter editor (7 years in a row), Michael Bournazian, our PK’s emcee. Great job Michael. Working with this section is a breeze. Ever try to stimulate people at work. In this book I am currently reading (Good TO Great) there is a passage where it speaks about Passion (e.g.: … passionate about what they were doing and the passion was deep and genuine); not something you put into people but something that has to come out of them, from within. Well, try to tell Chantale Simard she has enough on her shoulders and she will take the extra burden; that is passion. Keep it up Chantale, and can’t wait to see our revamped web site. David Tozer, at the center of this new challenge we undertook with the upcoming Think Tank committee formed around the future of Certifications (he is our Education chair). I always brag to whoever wants to hear me that I hang around teachers and doctors; he is one of them (and also our secretary). Thanks David for this energy. Sorry Rajesh-Kumar Tyagi and Anjali Awasthi, did I say I was surrounded by Doctors? Does that make me feel small? Sure do, but every month they look up at me. Thanks for being present (sometimes). David’s shadow partner and friend, Norman Dickinson. BEEN THERE FOR SO LONG I THOUGHT HE WAS PART OF THE FURNITURE. Thanks Norm for the work you did in the background. You can take a short break but don’t make it too long, we miss you already. GREAT JOB NORMAN. Jean-Pierre Amiel, who honors us, once in a while, with his holy presence at the Leadership Team meetings. Me, a car driver, he is my only link to the mass transits and the first name I see every month in the membership list. You are our Jeanne Calment of the section. Keep it up J-P. Gordon Ayotte you are the smiley of our section, always keeping the morale. Even after losing a job, he smiles. Don’t ever lose this capacity, it brightens our life ;-) Raymond Dyer, proud partner and former work colleague. I am always happy when I see you or should I say when I hear you; always have a story. We couldn’t have a better historian and this section needs more people with your dynamic. Thanks for coming back; I really thought that work had devoured you too. François Pageau, last but not least; always quiet but so present. You being our head while I was preparing for my role gave me the confidence I needed to act as the section chair. Thank you and don’t go too far, I may need you again (and keep sending me these leads). Good luck and don’t fall in that work trap we all do at one point in our life, your employer does not deserve all this attention, we do. Happy New Year team! *******************************************************
******************************************************* Hey, once in a while I get this quick comment on a past article. Too few I shall say. Well this year, I want a little line on a text written in the newsletter (good or bad); otherwise I will have to think we all write for the blind. View the past articles, 761 words |
