Operations Analysis Strategic Agility Internet Commerce CPI Facilitating Creative Problem Solving ISO 9001:2000 Suggestions “We
are confronted with a problem that seems unsolvable. We have been working to
solve the problem but don’t really seem to be making any progress. We think
that if we can just get some of the people to change what they are doing the
solution will be reached. But we can’t seem to get the people to change!” It
