Announcement! ISO Certification Body (CB)

Announcement!

Please see the requests from so many ISO 9001, ISO 14001 Certification Bodies (CB).

• Why CBs cannot get full-time auditors?
• Low pay? Low salary?
• Always say the same thing? Audits audit the same thing?

1. Singapore New CB #1
They are now in discussion to start a new CB in Singapore with CBs (from UK) or Registrars (from USA).

2. Singapore New CB #2
Asking me to submit my CV for them to apply to the new CB.

3. Singapore CB #3.
Have assigned me to audit and also to ask me to submit my CV for them to apply to the AB (Accreditation Body).

4. Singapore New CB #4
Asking me to submit my CV for them to apply to the new CB as the will be audited soon.

5. Singapore Old CB #5.
Have helped this CB (with UKAS) from 1997 to 1999 (initial years) and they forgot all about me from 2000-2010. Now as their auditors start resigning, start to come back to me ask ask for help! What a joke! What is the carrot? Okay-lah: please audit for me 1 week per month! Still want to pay me S$300 per day! A joke?

6. Whatever! Anything!

The Paradoxical Commandments -- by Dr. Kent M. Keith

1 People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

2 If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

3 If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

4 The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

5 Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

6 The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

7 People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

8 What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

9 People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

10 Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Staff Suggestion Scheme (SSS)

Operating a successful Staff Suggestion Scheme is not easy!

Many organisations embark on a Staff Suggestion Scheme (SSS) with the hope of developing what Peter Drucker calls, “a thinking workforce”. But to their disappointment, what they often achieve is more of a complaining workforce. Instead of suggestions that help to solve problems and raise quality and productivity, much of what they receive are feedback which merely point out the problems without offering practical solutions. Rarely do they receive suggestions that are well thought-through and carefully written.

Is your company in such a predicament? YES? NO?

Dear friends,

I've been thinking that .... is helpful for networking when you need a job, but since I'm doing fine where I'm at why don't I pay it forward instead.

So here's the deal, I'm not a professional headhunter but I do keep an eye out for jobs that would fit friends well and have helped a few find some nice jobs. I'm not looking for anything in return... it's just good to help a friend. I visit more than a few dozen client companies each year and speak with at least four or five new cleints each month whom I don't even meet... but they seem to trust me anyway. (go figure) Some are Fortune 500, others mom & pop.

If you are looking for something new drop me a message and I'll think of you next time I see an opportunity.

ps. Always feel free just to catch up too!

Take care, DJ
