Jennifer Peterson, Manager of Continuous Improvement at Muscatine Power and Water (MPW) in Muscatine, Iowa, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to share insights about her approach to problem solving. Jennifer's mission at MPW is to reduce frustration for coworkers through process improvement and problem solving. Working in a utility that provides critical services and never shuts down, Jennifer explains that prioritization is essential. At MPW, safety concerns come first, followed by reliability issues. Jennifer shares a practical example of how they tackled the recurring problem of squirrels chewing through utility lines by installing special pole wraps that prevent squirrels from climbing, significantly reducing outages. Rather than accepting this as an inevitable issue, her team actively sought solutions. When it comes to collaboration, Jennifer believes in inclusivity. She prefers having more stakeholders in the room rather than too few, aligning with Jamie's philosophy that problems can't be solved in isolation. Jennifer employs several facilitation strategies to ensure all voices are heard, especially from quieter team members. Her preparation includes learning about participants beforehand, sometimes through conversations with their supervisors, and creating a comfortable environment for contribution during sessions. Jennifer connects problem-solving effectiveness to the organization's mission. MPW revised their mission statement in 2023 to empower Muscatine residents and businesses to thrive, which has helped employees see the direct impact of their work. This connection to community creates natural motivation, as employees often serve their family members, friends, and neighbors. For tackling complex problems like safety and reliability, Jennifer recommends breaking them down into smaller, less intimidating parts. She draws a powerful connection between this approach and psychological safety, noting that when problems seem less overwhelming, people are more likely to embrace solutions and understand different perspectives. After 17 years at MPW, Jennifer recognizes the challenge of blind spots that come with long tenure. Her team documents processes for potential single points of failure and questions long-standing practices. They also use benchmarking and comparative data to challenge themselves, recently shifting from measuring against industry averages to top quartile performance. She notes that MPW's culture embraces holding themselves to high standards, with leadership promoting a standard of excellence throughout the organization. Jennifer combines her MBA from Western Illinois University, Bachelor's in English from St. Martin's University, and certifications as a PMP and Lean Black Belt to bring both analytical rigor and clear communication to her continuous improvement work.

Annamaria Lusardi"Il sapere che conta"Mondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itFestival Internazionale dell'Economia, TorinoSabato 1° giugno 2024, ore 19:00"Il sapere che conta" con Annamaria LusardiÈ così importante risparmiare? Quali sono gli errori da evitare quando si decide di investire? Cosa si deve sapere prima di chiedere un mutuo? Considerando costi e benefici, è preferibile continuare a studiare dopo la scuola dell'obbligo, investendo in istruzione e formazione, o andare subito a lavorare?Nella vita di tutti i giorni, siamo chiamati a prendere decisioni che influenzano il nostro benessere finanziario. Tuttavia è un tema di cui non si discute abbastanza, e la finanza rimane per molti un argomento astratto o troppo complesso.Annamaria Lusardi, economista e docente alla Stanford University, ha dedicato oltre vent'anni allo studio dell'alfabetizzazione finanziaria e della finanza personale. Con questo libro, scritto in modo chiaro e accessibile, mira a far comprendere al lettore di ogni età i concetti fondamentali, aiutandolo a gestire il proprio denaro e a raggiungere i propri obiettivi: da come far quadrare i conti a come essere preparato di fronte agli imprevisti, all'acquisto di una casa o all'avvio di un'attività autonoma.Il sapere che conta è un autentico percorso che, partendo dalla domanda fondamentale «Quale futuro voglio costruire?», ci guida in un viaggio attraverso una serie di concetti chiave, dal risparmio agli investimenti, dall'inflazione al tasso di interesse, dai debiti vantaggiosi a quelli svantaggiosi. Il libro offre esempi e casi pratici per aiutarci a prendere decisioni informate, imparando a sfruttare il fattore tempo, il nostro più potente alleato. Ricordando che non esistono formule magiche, ma che ogni scelta comporta rischi oltre che opportunità, e soprattutto che solo la conoscenza ci aiuta a «mettere i soldi in tasca».Annamaria Lusardi è un'economista e docente di Finanza alla Stanford University, dove dirige un centro dedicato all'educazione finanziaria. È considerata una delle esperte mondiali nel campo dell'alfabetizzazione finanziaria e della finanza personale. Consulente del Dipartimento del Tesoro degli Stati Uniti durante l'amministrazione Obama, dal 2017 al 2023 è stata la direttrice del Comitato per la programmazione e il coordinamento delle attività di educazione finanziaria in Italia. Dirige inoltre il Comitato di ricerca dell'International Network on Financial Education dell'Organizzazione per la cooperazione e lo sviluppo economico (OCSE). Ha ricevuto molti premi e riconoscimenti per il suo lavoro di ricerca e promozione dell'educazione finanziaria nel mondo. Nel 2019 è stata inclusa nella lista «Forbes» delle 100 donne di successo in Italia. Nel 2020 è stata insignita del premio MPW, Most Powerful Women, da «Fortune» Italia.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Fortune's 2023 Most Powerful Women Summit took place on October 10th-12th in Laguna Niguel, CA. Over the three days, women across a wide variety of industries (healthcare, politics, entertainment, retail, and tech - just to name a few!) took the stage to share their perspectives on the state of their respective businesses, what it means to be a woman in leadership and how to address global tumult while also running a business. In today's episode of Leadership Next, you will hear excerpts from conversations with three women who especially embody many of the MPW values like leadership, tenacity, vision and creativity. Leadership Next Hosts Alan Murray and Michal Lev-Ram share their perspectives on the Summit throughout the episode. Up first, we hear from Senator Laphonza Butler who joined Fortune's Emma Hinchliffe onstage just one week after she was sworn in as a California senator, filling the seat vacated by Dianne Feinstein who passed away in September. Senator Butler discusses being an example of economic empowerment for women and girls and the power of coalition building across parties and the business sector to affect real change. In the second conversation of the episode, Lev-Ram sits down with #35 on the 2023 MPW list, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Starbucks and Ariel Investments co-CEO Mellody Hobson. Hobson shares how she initially became interested in strategic decision making and how to keep DEI a priority in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on affirmative action. Hobson also dives deeper into the origin of the idea for Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan to complete a six-month barista immersion. Finally, we hear excerpts from Lev-Ram's conversation with #53 on the 2023 MPW List, Netflix Chief Content Office Bela Bajaria. Bajaria discusses how the company chooses which content to produce and acquire, plus the importance of balancing the use of algorithms versus trusting her gut in that process. Leadership Next is powered by Deloitte.
