Ms. Weaver, Meet ISO 9000
Someone has decided to do a project post-mortem of the aliens movies.
OK, it might not be funny for law students, but for (ex-)project managers, it's pretty funny. (Hat tip to NTK)

Alienware Purgatory Counter
The "onsite" support policy I purchased required me to send my computer back to the depot. I really miss having a working notebook.
Alienware has taken this long to return my computer:
Just over sixteen days! Give a round of applause!

Aaaaahhh !
My first thought was "but it stopped being ISO9000 in the late 90s. It's now at least ISO9002, and probably bigger.
And I thought that the twins had wiped out every last ounce of project management.
I need to get out more.

If an organization "implements ISO 9001" to obtain a certificate then it will obtain less value than a company that uses the standard to improve the system it uses to run the business.
The INC article focused on the woes of the former organizations and did not report on the successes of the latter.
Any company can use ISO 9001 to develop its process-based management system so it could be used to drive its core process to add value faster while the system enables employees to prevent loss sooner. The core process, by the way, translates the needs of customers into cash in the bank (ready for the six sigma treatment).
Our website has described how our clients do this since 1997 and this is based on the hardcopy guidance we have published since 1987.
