# Business process management/Internal dependencies - identifying shared assets
## Summary

A critical notion with BPM implementations is that the processes can coordinate interactions with underlying silo-ed systems. This requires that the necessary interfaces be exposed to match the business process requirements. In reality, this usually means that the interfaces need to be developed for the active process projects since they do not already exist.
In some organizations, it can take several months or years to get a specific interface delivered. At one end of the extreme, the owners of the IT architecture at one organization informed the business process teams that they would have to wait five years. At the end of the five years of IT development, the business could pick from the available catalog of services. Imagine waiting five years only to find out that what was actually required still was not available!
In this conflict situation, it took the Leadership team working with the IT leadership to agree that the business process projects were going to deliver tangible benefit to the organization. The delay of five years with such a high probability that necessary services would not even be available was enough of a risk that priorities were changed.
To reach this level of coordinated correction required escalating beyond the project team, who had no authority to direct the work efforts of the IT system owners. The project team was able to communicate their requirements, and the Leadership team worked out the coordination. Aside from fixing this specific alignment issue, the escalation process was vetted for future project teams.

# Business process management/Every representative has a voice
## Summary

Some project implementations have made it very easy to communicate issues or to provide feedback. Built into their user interfaces, user's can contribute content to help others perform a step or raise enhancement requests. When these feedback mechanisms are provided and the features subsequently delivered on a regular cadence, the adoption rate has been higher than without these mechanisms. Additionally, formal user training is reduced and efficiency of lower skilled workers increases more rapidly.

# Business process management/Insufficient execution methods - six sigma falls short
## Summary

Six Sigma arose from the total quality management, notably Edward Deming's work with Japan following World War II. While the movement enjoyed a brief flair in the United States, Americans were ill-equipped to understand the statistical measures required to make TQM applicable. Likesame, Six Sigma, which is a statistical methodology that tolerates error no greater than six standard deviations from the mean, required more analytical training than possessed. As a consequence, Six Sigma, like TQM was contorted to mean something quite alien from its founding principles; it has taken the connotation of management philosophy.
Six Sigma and its sister methodologies, like LEAN, offer many possibilities for BPM programs, but many organizations have failed to maximize their potential. The essence of Six Sigma is a structured way to decompose problems and to implement small, measurable changes. Those changes are prioritized and their impact assessed at each stage of a project. Demand management is addressed very well with Six Sigma because it forces prioritization of possible opportunities, and that prioritization can be based on strategic benefit to the business as its dominant criteria.
In practice though, Six Sigma is too heavy-handed and too theoretical. Rooted in manufacturing, Six Sigma struggles to translate to organizational operations, even those that roll out *belt programs. Six Sigma techniques often end in the identification of vague generalities rather than in a deliverable solution road map. Some organizations have even erected walls to isolate Six Sigma practitioners such that at the moment that specific IT systems or functions become involved the project becomes someone else's responsibility.
In selecting the methods, choose practical and realistic options. Make sure that the full spectrum of method requirements is covered by the methods chosen. Selection, execution, deployment, and validation must all be addressed. This might require combining complementary methods. Otherwise, there will be gaps in the engine. Even if Six Sigma is the method of choice, do not simply pay homage to it. Make sure that projects are able to deliver the identified changes and demonstrate the quantitative results. In short, embrace the study of econometrics and statistics.

# Business process management/Inconsistent metrics are meaningless
## Summary

The problem with inconsistent metrics is that it leads to comparisons that are useless. Teams cannot be compared with one another, and changes cannot be selected for implementation because the impact of those changes will be unknown.
One organization would compare product teams with what seemed like a single, common metric. Upon closer examination, it was determined that teams were measuring differently. The metric became meaningless for cross-team comparisons. Worse, the goal of trying to establish best practices from the better performing teams became impossible because it was unclear which teams were actually performing better.
Before choosing metrics that determine what decisions and changes should be made, ensure that consistency is enforced. Software tooling is one way to enforce this if everyone uses the same tools, but tooling is only one part of the puzzle.

# Dominant group/Courses

Any course on dominant group is likely to serve as a suggestion for reading through, studying, and researching "what is dominant group?", or perhaps "what are dominant groups?"
Hopefully, as each student reaches an apparent terminus on their course to understand and perhaps successfully cope with dominant groups as they find them, they will also come to appreciate the need to reduce domination where or when it is harmful and increase it when or where it is beneficial.

## Prerequisites

Having prerequisites for a course on or about dominant group is a bit like a course on exploitation. If you have been exploited all your life, you've probably acquired all the prerequisites you need to start to understand it, research it, and benefit from it.

## Completion levels

These courses are dynamic. Changes and additions should help to improve the depth and quality of the resources involved.

## Lectures

The category of dominant group lectures contains many of the efforts to discover and explore the literature where dominant group and its synonyms have been found.

## Quizzes

Quizzes exist and more are being generated to challenge you regarding what dominant groups are and to explore the concepts behind dominance and its synonyms such as ruling.

## Laboratories

These include at least one example. The idea is for you to construct an experiment regarding a dominant group, then record, discuss, and conclude about your results.

## Lessons

These are participatory original research projects focused on one hypothesis each about dominant group.

## Problem sets

Can you tell when you are a member of a dominated or dominate group? These problem sets may help you to identify "unfair advantages", slavery, despotism, or other aspects of dominant group behavior.

## Student participations

Dominant group has been the number ten Wikiversity project two years (2014 & 2015, statistics on projects are not available for 2016) in a row.

## Hypotheses

* A member of a dominated group can "turn the tables" on a dominant group.
# Dominant group/Core reading list

The theory of dominant group with respect to literature falls into at least two situations: a dominant group of literature (authors and works) or a dominant group associated with literature (influencing the production of works).
Of necessity to develop a deep and sustained program of reading is the effort to explore human history to encounter those influential thinkers who over the centuries and perhaps millennia have grappled with the fundamental concern of human life posed by dominant groups, not necessarily human groups, and the forces behind them. A group of influential thinkers, acting as a group to rule or govern the thinking of others, would also be a dominant group.

## Pragmatic * Non-partisan * Non-ideological

GROUND RULES: While this is entirely non-partisan, there is no obligation on the part of anyone to assist anyhone else with any project, agenda or political issue.What this means is that anyone grinding a political axe, pushing an agenda or a POV, may not find much support here unless they free their mind of fixed ideas, develop empathic listening skills and open their mind to re-examine the assumptions which constrain their creativity and imagination.
Please follow the very best Wikimedia Foundation etiquette at all times.

## How to use this class

Identify what issue concerns you. Create a draft chapter for California Public Policy and Citizen Participation. Identify the key constituencies on both sides of the issue. Identify the decisionmakers: members of Congress, your Board of Supervisors, City Council or the state assembly.
* Who is the staff person assigned to that issue?
* What citizen boards, commissions and committees exist which are concerned with that issue?
* When and where do public meetings of those bodies occur? Where is their agenda posted?
* Are there current or pending vacancies on those bodies? How and when are those vacancies filled
* Identify pending legislation which affects your issue.
* Determine which committees are concerned with that legislation, even if the members of the committee are from outside of your district.
* Identify allies who are in their district and connect with them.

# Calibrated Peer Review

Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) is a system developed at UCLA as a means by which students are instructed on how to conduct anonymous peer review. This serves not only to instruct them on the concept of peer review, but also assess both their peer reviewing skills, as well as their ability to write content that will pass peer review.
In this system, students first write and submit an essay. Then, they are given guidelines for judging similar essays, and must prove their competence in this peer review by correctly judging three essays that have already been evaluated. Only then, are students tasked with assigning scores to three essays written by their peers (all articles and student peer reviews are anonymous to the students). Students are graded both on their own essay, as well as their ability to agree with the parallel assessments of their peers. In a private conversation, Professor Cavanaugh of Wright State Lake Campus claimed that this is a cost-effective way to teach, provided one subtracts out the time it takes for the instructor to learn the system. According to one published study of CPR:
       "Students who received feedback by the instructor in a traditional way did not improve their writing and critical reasoning from assignment to assignment, but students who responded to an identical writing prompt and worked though the CPR process did."
