Apart from discussions on political, religious, and "hate" issues, let's discuss something real and visionary, the issues that we can actually do something about, come up with new ideas, change or modify..
Uzbekistan is now at the stage of integration into the world economic arena. I'd say the country is producing more than it used to 10 years ago. The State is struggling to build a stronghold for new businesses and entrepreneurships to emerge. I believe they are doing the best they can to provide these new businesses with enough help they need. Everything seems to be going so smooth so that people are beginning to believe that we'll be OK say 20 years from now.
But let me say, we're not productive. We're not committed to quality. And we're not going anywhere. Because we neither have the ability, nor the guts to compete with the rest of the world. And if we don't do something about it.,the standard of living will not be getting any better. Not tomorrow. Not in 10 years. Not even in 20 years.
Why is this guy tying these three different things together, you might ask.
I am sure all of you are aware of Deming's and Malcolm Baldridge's ideas on productivity. "Productivity should be critically tied to continious quality improvement. Unless we won't institute/accept Quality as the major factor at the organization/state level, we can't expect an improvement in our standard of living". Japan was the first to integrate and adopt this philosophy. You know what Japan used to be before 70s and what it is now.
Maybe it is time for our politicians, businessmen to change their views about the productivity. Leave the traditional way of thinking behind and accept the contemporary one.. if they are really willing and still committed to improving the Quality of leading lives in Uzb.
Maybe it is time for us to step aside from religious/political discussions, and start thinking about the least things we can do/implement backhome.
This BOARD is not what it used to be three years ago.
Any thoughts welcome.
