Mindset

Mindset is also very important in delivering outputs. One example is when you drive your car to work, you have set your mind that there will be a traffic jam ahead and maybe late arriving the office if unexpected happened such as accident.

Preparing your mind in delivering your outputs will keep you calm and relax performing you tasks. You are ready for any possibilities than may pop up in between your activities. If you'er in the traffic jam you will be cooled, more responsible and kind to other road users.

Set positive mindset, deliver your tasks with full responsibility and be kind to others will in return keep ourself feel happy and satisfy.........I think so.


Happy New Year and have a productive live a head

A birthday cake

Last week I take time to be with my father and knowing his birthday around the corner, I planned a family dinner for an early birthday celebration without his knowledge.

After the dinner I gave a surprise by presenting him with birthday cake. It really surprised him and you feel good when your father is very happy and pleased with the cake. When you father is very happy, the whole family feel his happiness and positive energy generated.

Rewarding someone do provide good feeling and improve relationship amongst members. Rewarding do contributes to increase in performance........I think so

Backup as to ensure continues performance

In ensuring your performance is always at premium level an alternative plan or backup plan or support plan is required where we do not know what is going to happen. With all the alternatives and backup in the action plan, hopefully will ensure continues performance take place.

Good example is when you are driving on a countryside road with your family on a vacation trip and suddenly your tyre punctured. Automatically your mind will trigger next action plan you need to do is to replace it and you have your spare tyre (ensure your spare tyre is always good). Your spare tyre is actually your support to ensure your journey will not be interrupted or your performance to reach destination is delivered.

By replacing the punctured tyre with spare one will ensure your trip is not interrupted and as per planned. Now days spare tyre come in lighter and easy to replace.

KPI is also apply to our daily activities and if we could measure and track them will ensure our performance is always at the top.......I think so.

Have a nice day.

Exam - measure the good or not so good?

Examination results.....what do we measure, good result or not so good. Examination result is also a KPI where performance is measured and initiative is set to achieve target. Action plan is need to improve results.

Good results means achieve target or above target and not so good results means need to improvement and not a failure.

My opinion is that the focus should be given to those who's results are not good and improve them as to achieve target set.......I think so.

Having a nice views

Working in a place that provides a good view do contribute to performance as in the photo below.....I think so

Reduce traffic jam by introduce more motobike lane

Traffic jam happen almost every day during working hours and lot of initiatives were introduced to ease the traffic jam. Basically will reduce productivity due to waste of time caught in the jam. More roads were build to provide access and still jam occurs.

To ease the traffic jams, why no try to increase/introduce bike lanes or expand bike lanes to encourage road users to change to motorbikes.

More bike lane will increase it's usage and maybe can reduce waste of time......I think so

Performing lesson learnt

After having classes for sometimes and it is time to display lesson learnt. All parents are proud of their kids achievement.

Supporting Team Malaysia

Every national team need moral support and support is one of the initiative required for the team to perform better. Good moral support will provide extra energy for the players to produce winning goals.

Supporting groups are those who are interested in the game and give 100% support to their team. For national team a well organize support group should be available. Currently some interest group create their own support team. My suggestion is that why not each company, government department, NGO, and other society in the country creat their own support for national team and united in provide support to national team.

Maybe lead by ministry of sport, the support/cheer team from the groups set can be united and produce more synchronize cheer team which can give better impression to the players and other country supporting team how united we are.

Sports have no boundary and it united everyone in this world.....I think so

Enjoy your weekend

Making the best for the occasion

Planning for the event is very important as to ensure smooth flow as per plan. Sometimes last minute change will give more surprise to the event and Mr. Megat just did that

Year 2013 for my kid

Year 2012, December is the last month of the year and have we prepared what's required for next year?

Vision - financial, and health
Strategy - how to achieve it
Measures - how to monitor achivement
Initiatives - needed to achieve target set for next year
Action plan - what's needed

Do we have the budget to achieve it......hummm for next year what I need to do:
For my kid
1. School books
2. School uniforms and other related items
3. School bus fee
4. School fee
5. Additional classes
6. Others

Target set for my kid is to understand life for 9 year old kid, get knowledge and exposure. Be happy and enjoy life.

Hopefully do achieve target

Getting places

One of the key element to improve performance is easy to move around and those days moving from one place to another using public transport takes time. Waiting for a bus sometime take an hour and to reach destination will take another hour. But with new technology developed a lot of things start to improve including public transport. Overhead train do help to reach destination faster and is currently in progress in USJ.

Hopefully will speed up and improve movement in and out of USJ.

LRT Under construction

New year new target

Every end of the year most of us have their new things they want to achieve. For those who are still study which to achieve good results in exam, sports and some adventure things. Those who are just started working want to excel in their work, gain more money, experience, and buy things for their investment and status.

Having family the target set is a bit different with more focus on achieving target for the whole family. Want the kids to be good in their study, the father and mother want to have strong in economy as to ensure the family develop positive improvement either financially or spiritually.

In other word setting Vision  each year and some having same vision but setting higher target and some totally new vision due to have achieve current vision......I think so

Have a nice day

Appreciation to team members

It's nice to have a group lunch to appreciate those who are transfering to another unit or division. Having lunch together with friends working will keep friendship closer.

After years of working together and it's time for some of us to move on with their carriers. Having good food with good friends and good times together will leave us with lots of good memories.

Good food helps to perform

Having a good food will assist in getting  better results. Feeling good after having good food will contibute to the enery that will drive one self to perform better.......I think so

Have a nice day

Creative title

In providing best service lots of creative presentation take place and this is one of the creative presentation

Weekend break to improve KPI

Working for 5 days in a week do make us feels good when come to end of the week or weekend. Not just for those working but also for those who are still study....Friday is the day to start release all the load.

Taking a break is also part of improving performance in the coming weekday. Good break with full of excited activities will create a happy ending for that week. Feeling good at the end of the week will assist performance in coming week.

Take a good weekend break by doing activities that will make us having fun either with family or friends. Stay happy and having fun will give us energy to perform in coming week...............I think so.

Keep you weekend a memorable one......be nice to everyone including animals.


Stay cool

Vision set

Most of us when setting the vision will try to achieve financial goal such as generating income more than 1 million for example. To increase/generate revenue more than 200% in 10 years and to be the best company within 10 years.

Maybe we can add new vision with more focus on moral or emotional achievement such as in 10 years want to have happy family, want to be more religious, want to have a excellent working environment with very good teamwork.

Having emotionally good teammate, family,  working environment will actually will improve our performance.......I think so

Vision make known

Vision is something that sometimes need to be known to everyone. This will help others to understand and also be able to assist in getting the vision achievable.

A community with a vision to become a healthy community and make know the vision to public. If everyone understand and practice healthy living by supporting the vision then it will be achievable.....I think so.

Have a nice day

 

family's vision and national's vision

Everyone in a family have their own vision including kids. In school teacher asked the kids what they want to be ? A doctor, an engineer, a business man, police officer and many more. What they answered are actually what their vision. At home father has his own vision and will try to guide his family towards his vision. Father's vision sometimes has conflict with the kids and need to take some initiatives to make his vision acceptable to the kids

Vision is very important in setting the direction to move forward. If every family have their vision inline with the country's visions for example to be a high skill nation than it would be more chances to achieve the country vision........I think so.


Have a nice day

Develop nation starts from home

Every organization or country have their own Vision and Mission. To achieve the vision every members of the community need to support the vision by implementing initiatives at the lowest level.

For example vision of cleaner community, where the objective is to have a clean city. Every family within the community play their part by keeping their rubbish in the bin will keep the city clean. The father which is the CEO of the family need to have his own initiative to support the cleaner city by:

• Educate the family on how important rubbish to be kept in a bin
• Practice keeping rubbish in a house clean by trowing rubbish  in a bin
• Educate the family on how costly if the rubbish is not kept properly
• Practice the same habit outside the house by trowing rubbish in a bin

If each family can keep the rubbish in a bin, the community will have a cleaner city. If every community in each city keep the same habit, whole country will be clean and will reduce maintenance cost. Cleaner city will attract visitors to their city which in return will generate revenue to the city.........I think so.

Have a nice day

Understand Vision and Mission

Understand vision and mission is very important and will improve oneself performance. If we know what is the vision set by the boss, everyone would be able to set their own plan to assist the boss to achieve the vision. By sharing vision with everyone it would help to set a good teamwork.

When everybody understand the vision set, the next thing is to understand the mission required to achieve the vision set. How to achieve the vision will depend on the mission and strategy in place......I think so.

Have a nice day

Vision and Mission

Every head, either head of a company, head of state or head a family have wishes. CEO of a company wanted their company to become......world class, head of state maybe wanted the state to become the best government, and head of the family....the father wanted to have a successful family. All of these wishes can be translated as VISION.

To achieve the wishes or VISION we need to plan in general what we want to do, for example as head of family he need to do some saving, buy a bigger house, do extra work for extra income. And all of these can be included as mission to achieve the vision.

So with vision and mission established we have goals to achieve and start do the planning.....I think so

Have a nice day

Knowledge and experience

Knowledge and experience are two different things that are very important in producing very good results.

Knowledge can be achieved by reading books, notes, and from discussion or attending classes.
Experience can be achieved by doing it, without doing it we are not able to gain experience. More we do it the more experienced we are.

To be efficient we need both knowledge and experience. For example riding a motorbike, we need to know how to ride a motorbike by reading, talk with friends, see others ride on it and we gain knowledge from it.

After understand how to ride a motorbike, the next thing to do is to ride on it and experience will be gained when we ride and practice riding. The more we practice the more we gain experience.


Doing things with good knowledge and lots of experience will help to perform dan deliver better results  and more efficient ....I think so

University should be for everybody

University is a dream place for everyone. With a degree from a university lots of things can be done. University is a fun place where learning and understanding take place. Going to university is everyone's wishes.

Learning journey in university  provides from basic to advance knowledge of the subject taken. Know why it happen, the application of it and develops creative thinking. College life from first year  to final year have lots to gain from which is different from secondary school.

My view is that university can be a place for everyone to get knowledge. Either attending classes just for knowledge or getting a degree. Some of us would like to have a degree from university but do not qualified for a place. My suggestion is that if there is a program within university that can help those who are not qualified to be trained until they past the college/university entrance test will be very much please by many. No matter what level their education are, they should be given a chance to improve their knowledge and educational qualification.

University is a knowledge farm where the opportunity of growing knowledge should be available to everyone......just my opinion

Have a nice day

Your appearances your performance

Most of us do more than one things everyday such as going to office in the morning, playing game in the evening and sometime having night gathering with friends  or for me, ride my bike at night.

Going to office we wear office attire from shirt to shoes, playing games using sport attire, and if you ride motorbike you wear riding jacket and riding boots. Why we need to have different attire for different occasion is just because we want to perform better and more confident in doing it.

Riding motorbike with full protective gear will give more confident in riding the bike and performed better. If we wear office attire and play games, we still be able to play but not as good as if we wear suitable clothing and shoes for the sport.

Wrong attire will limit our movement and also our confident level will not be as if we are wearing suitable attire for the right occasion. Also others will have confident in us if we wear appropriate attire for the occasion......it' just my opinion.

Improve you performance by wearing proper attire for the occasion

Have a nice day

Daily Scorecard

Everyday we have our common daily activities for each family members. Wakeup early in the morning, take a bath, and do things that we daily do. During weekday need to get ready to go to work, kids need to go to school and each individual have their own things to do. Same goes for the weekend where we have our own list to perform.

What we have planned and wanted to do we kept it in our head and some do write in their dairy. In school we use timetable which is basically schedule activity for subjects required and prepare our mind  what we need to do. We can do the same thing for our weekly activities and also can include our weekend programs. Keeping our activity in a record with schedule activity such as school timetable will give us proper plan and also if we add what we expected to achieve will give us more focus in executing the planned activities.

In other word, we use similar to school timetable for whole family and plan what need to be done on Monday, Tuesday, and other days. Add target/expected result and actual achievement to the timetable will make it easy to measure family achievement for the week and make whole family more efficient. Make it a fun timetable with the participation from whole family will make our weekly activity more fun......I think so.

By reviewing the past results will help to improve future weeks ahead. Planned our activity, use timetable,  add expected results and actual achievement for the whole family will be more fun.

Have a nice day

Scorecard since kid

When we were kid we were given a card, to record our progress such as weight, health records and monthly progress achieved. The records were updated and kept until certain age.

When we started school we were also given another scorecard to measure our educational performance such as maths, science, and other subjects. Every test taken were recorded in scorecard and compare with previous results. Comparing with previous results will show our achievement and improvement needed to further improve for better results.

Now when we are working we also use scorecard to measure our individual performance, divisional or department performance. The scorecard we use now compare to the one that we used during our school time do have same objectives that are to measure our performance and action needed to improve by set target.

We can also use the scorecard for our daily activities and set our own target what we want to achieve within a day, a month or a year time.

Good planning and proper implementation will help us to achieve our target....I think so.


Have a nice day

Improve my weekend

We all love weekend, and always plan what to do as early as on Monday. Everybody in family plan what they would like to do, going shopping, jog in the park, swimming, and fishing just to name a few. Before end of the week sometimes new things popup and planned need to be changed.

For me, I have planned what I want to do and Saturday is for me to spend time with my family and Sunday is for me to do what I want to do. But sometimes need to change my plan due to last minute request or other more important things.

My weekend activities that I have set sometimes need to change. Initiative and action plan also need to be reviewed as to ensure I deliver and satisfy my family which I consider as my customer.

As in KPI activity, we plan and expected results with initiatives set and action plan ready to be executed but sometimes a fallback plan is also required as to ensure a good results produced.

My Shoes My KPI

In carry out our activities we use more than one shoes going to work using office shoes, ride motor bike using riding shoes, playing golf using golf shoes, jogging using jogging shoes and all related to what we want to do.

Why are we not using the same shoes to do all the activities that we love to do?  My reason is just because I want to perform better and feel better. In other word to keep my personal KPI (Key Performance Indicator) better than before.  I want to perform better in my games, better presentation in the office, more confident in doing things.

Using the suitable shoes (tools) do contribute to the performance results. So choose the proper tool for the occasion.

Have a nice day......happy weekend

Initiatives in the family

Parent set the direction or taget they required and need to identify how to achive the target set. Or in other word vision and mission have been set and next step is to identify the initiatives require for the kids to delivery or KPI for the kids.

If we list daily activities for the kids some of the activities that they do normally

• Related to school such as attend class and do homework
• Play games
• Prepare themself such as clean up their room
• Help to clean up the house such as water the plant, pickup garbage
• Many other things as instruct by parent

So all these activities can be considered as initiatives or KPI for the kids

With all the vision, mission and activities or KPI identified the next steps is the implementation

In a Family

The father is the CEO of the family and with the mother as the managing director. The kids are the subject that need achivement. Father and mother have set their goals/ vision for their kids and have planned their mission to achive the target set. So the first value of Target, Vision, Mission are ready to follow and to be reviewed yearly depand on the kids achievment.

To achive the target the parent will need money to support the program that they have set such as saving money for their kids and also money for their daily survival. The program need financial support and investment where a proper budget needed to plan money for investment and also money to spend daily. Operational expenditure (Opex) where the parent will buget for their daily expenses and Investment expenditure with save money for investment for the programs either through investment in trust fund, buying property, etc. Hopefully return on investment started to generate revenue the comming years to support the program

With the planned schedule for the kids....from pre-school to college, th prarent now need to implement the planned schedule for their kids and start to monitor their progress.

The kids is our asset for us to drive them to achive their goal of becomming the proud kids for the family.

KPI begin at home2

The parent have decide the target for their kids. And start planning what need to be done during pre-shool, primary school, secondary school and collage. Immediate, short term and long term planning done and now how to go about it. To do all of the planned items need to find money and need to save for long term planning and also for short term planning.

KPI begin at home

When we were born into this world our parent have their ambition what they want us to be. To become a doctor, lawyer, engineer and the most of all they have set their target.

They planned how to achieve their target, which preschool to go to, which primary school, and some parent decide which collage they want their Kids to be in.

Basically they have set their Vision and Mission which will prove the direction of KPI

My Simple KPI

Hummm.......KPI is everywhere?

Maybe....I would like to try using KPI in my daily routine which should improve and organize my life better.....hopefully.

Well let's give a try.......soon.
