Teddy Bear Doctor

A lean start-up of a centre for pediatric emergencies

Teddy Bear DoctorSummary of our November 24th, 2021 conference by Dr. Sasha Dubrovsky, president and co-founder of Up (centre d’Urgences Pédiatriques – Centre for pediatric emergencies) a lean start-up on Montreal’s south shore.
By Francisco Oliveira Machado, Adm. A., D. Sc. ASQ member. (texte en français suit)

For the ASQ Montreal November webinar, Dr. Dubrovsky began by introducing us to his medical clinic by emphasizing his own self-perception: he does not qualify his initiatives, his perception, his feeling and other characteristics as being that of a true Quality Manager. He thinks he needs more knowledge in this area. As a result, several participants, including myself, did not agree with him.

From his initial idea of creating a pediatric center, Dr. Dubrovsky chose to consider the accepted understanding of Lean reducing waste and variability, and always being simple as a cornerstone. He has worked hard to minimize the suffering of parents and their children when they needed a health center for appropriate care. His work led to the choice of setting up his clinic on the South Shore of Montreal in order to reduce traffic time. He really knows the needs of his customers and where they come from!

Creating a new organization based on Lean principles is not an easy task, but he has succeeded. How?
Firstly, by putting into practice the five principles of the book “The Lean Start-up: How Constant Innovation Creates Radically Successful Businesses” by Eric Ries (new Renaud-Bray edition). Those principles are:

Create a new product under conditions of extreme uncertainty;
Entrepreneurship becomes management in extreme uncertainty;
• Learning how is a key to building a sustainable business;
The “build-measure-learn” cycle as a fundamental activity;
• Focus on execution.

Secondly, he mentioned his company’s perception is that the pediatric unit exists to foster a strong bond between families and his team. In this sense, he shared the clinic’s “manifesto”:

No one left behind;
Provide quality pediatric emergency care close to home, with responsibility for follow-up;
Create “WOW” moments;
We are mentors, coaches and lifelong learners;
Welcome and lead change;
Engage in continuous improvement;
Together we can create a win-win with 1 + 1 = 5 math.

In conclusion, my overall impression of this webinar is that his company is a good case study for the practice of lean methodology, a well-established lean start-up in Quebec. He constantly uses the DMAIC (Define / Measure / Analyze / Improve / Control) methodology and Ries’ principles, and is therefore able to retain his staff during difficult real world circumstances, where a pandemic has changed healthcare organizations around the world.

Finally, I will leave you with this expression that he presented during the webinar: “Before I state the problem, are there any solutions?”.

Démarrage Lean d’un centre d’urgence de pédiatrie

Sommaire de la conférence du 24 novembre, 2021, du Dr. Sasha Dubrovsky, président et cofondateur d’Up (centre d’Urgences Pédiatriques) un démarrage lean à la rive-sud de Montréal.
Par Francisco Oliveira Machado, Adm. A., D. Sc. Membre de l’ASQ.

Pour ce webinaire de l’ASQ Montréal, le Dr Dubrovsky a commencé par nous présenter sa clinique médicale en mettant l’accent sur sa propre perception de lui-même: il ne qualifie pas ses initiatives, sa perception, son ressenti et autres caractéristiques comme étant celles d’un véritable Responsable Qualité. Il pense avoir besoin de plus de connaissances dans ce domaine. De ce fait, plusieurs participants, dont moi-même, n’étaient pas d’accord avec lui.

À partir de son idée initiale de créer un centre pédiatrique, le Dr Dubrovsky a choisi de considérer la compréhension acceptée du Lean ─ réduire le gaspillage et la variabilité, et toujours être simple ─ comme une pierre angulaire. Il a travaillé dur pour minimiser la souffrance des parents et de leurs enfants lorsqu’ils avaient besoin d’un centre de santé pour des soins appropriés. Son travail l’a amené à choisir d’installer sa clinique sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal afin de réduire le temps de circulation. Il connaît vraiment les besoins de ses clients et d’où ils viennent!

Créer une nouvelle organisation basée sur les principes du Lean n’est pas une tâche facile, mais il a réussi. Comment?
D’abord, en mettant en pratique les cinq principes du livre “The Lean Start-up: How Constant Innovation Creates Radically Successful Businesses” d’Eric Ries (nouvelle édition, Renaud-Bray). Ces principes sont les suivants:

Créer un nouveau produit dans des conditions d’incertitude extrême;
L’entrepreneuriat devient le management dans une incertitude extrême;
• Apprendre comment, est une clé pour construire une entreprise durable;
Le cycle « construire-mesurer-apprendre » comme activité fondamentale;
• Concentrez-vous sur l’exécution.

Deuxièmement, il a mentionné que la perception de son entreprise est que l’unité pédiatrique existe pour favoriser un lien fort entre les familles et son équipe. En ce sens, il a partagé le “manifeste” de la clinique:

Personne n’est laissé pour compte;
Fournir des soins d’urgence pédiatriques de qualité à proximité du domicile, avec responsabilité du suivi;
Créer des moments “WOW”;
Nous sommes des mentors, des coachs et des apprenants tout au long de la vie;
Accueillir et conduire le changement;
S’engager dans l’amélioration continue;
Ensemble, nous pouvons créer un gagnant-gagnant avec les mathématiques 1 + 1 = 5.

En conclusion, mon impression générale de ce webinaire est que son entreprise est une bonne étude de cas pour la pratique de la méthodologie lean, une start-up lean bien établie au Québec. Il utilise constamment la méthodologie DMAIC (Define / Measure / Analyze / Improve / Control ou Définir / Mesurer / Analyser / Innover (Améliorer) et Contrôler) et les principes de Ries, et est donc en mesure de conserver son personnel dans des circonstances réelles difficiles, où une pandémie a changé les organisations de soins de santé dans le monde entier.

Enfin, je vous laisserai sur cette expression qu’il a présentée lors du webinaire: “Avant d’énoncer le problème, y a-t-il des solutions?”.


Our next event | Notre prochain rendez-vous :

Une marque employeur forte comme facteur clé pour le succès de votre transformation Lean (A strong employer brand – Key factor of successful Lean transformation) avec Alexis et Martin CARIGNAN, le 24 Janvier 2022. Un webinaire en français − Q&A Bilingue.

Selon les résultats de notre sondage sur la présentation de Cristian Dragnef en novembre 2020 sur la mise en place d’un cadre de sécurité de l’information certifié ISO 27001:2013 Système de gestion de la sécurité de l’information (SGSI), la majorité des répondants, soit 64%, étaient membres de l’ASQ. Les niveaux d’appréciation ont atteint 100% concernant les catégories SujetApproche et Qualité de la présentation. En ce qui a trait à la catégorie Interaction le résultat obtenu était de 75%.

D’autres parts les participants ont exprimé de l’intérêt à l’égard de certains sujets d’actualité. Incontestablement le sujet qui revient le plus dans les sondages est celui des audits virtuels. Sujet tout à fait pertinent surtout en ces temps de Covid-19. Afin de répondre à cette demande la section ASQ Montréal a jugé bon d’inviter Annie van Otterdijk qui nous parlera des aspects touchant la planification et le déroulement de ce genre d’audit (vituel). L’évènement, en français et en mode virtuel, est prévu le mercredi 27 janvier 2021 à 18:30. Nous espérons que vous serez nombreux à y participer.

Toujours selon les résultats du sondage, la Newsletter (l’infolettre) de la section demeure le meilleur moyen pour joindre le maximum de membres afin de les tenir informés des évènements à venir. Au final l’évènement a suscité un engouement et un enthousiasme ayant dépassé toutes les attentes. En effet, tous les participants ont indiqué qu’ils participeraient à un évènement similaire dans un proche avenir.

Au nom de l’équipe de direction de la section je tiens à souhaiter à tous les membres les meilleurs vœux de santé pour 2021.

Restez connectés pour plus d’informations et à bientôt.

Had you been connected….. Le 25 Novembre 2020, Exploiter votre système de gestion qualité (SGQ) ISO pour garantir la sécurité des données critiques and December 17th 2020, Party on line | Party en ligne.

Commençons par la présentation de Cristian Dragnef en novembre. Il nous a parlé de l’efficacité et des risques opérationnels, et de l’exposition à différents niveaux de risque pour la confidentialité, l’intégrité, la disponibilité et la conformité, y compris les menaces et les risques que ces expositions peuvent soulever. Il a ensuite parlé de la gestion des facteurs de risque tels que les conséquences, les stratégies, les dépendances et les actions (ou contrôles). Il a ensuite partagé certaines estimations de coûts pour diverses formes de violations de la sécurité suivie par les principaux facteurs de sécurité de l’information à prendre en compte. Cristian a terminé en montrant comment les normes ISO 9001 (système de gestion de la qualité) et ISO 27001 (système de gestion de la sécurité de l’information) pouvaient fonctionner ensemble pour fournir un système de gestion intégré complet. Les parties que j’ai vraiment appréciées ont été de partager les exemples sur les conséquences des menaces et les risques sur la confidentialité, l’intégrité, et la disponibilité et la comparaison des principales sections des deux normes, c’est-à-dire ISO 9001 et ISO 27001. Cristian et sa présentation ont obtenu un score de 100 % (4 et 5 sur 5) pour le sujet, l’approche et le présentateur. Il est vraiment dommage que certaines personnes aient eu des difficultés à se joindre à cet excellent événement.

Now for the Party on line | Party en ligne held in December. This networking event was hosted by incoming Section Chair Chantale Simard using Teams. Given the difficulties several interested individuals had in joining our November event, the Section Leadership Team decided to set aside Webex and try using Teams, another video conferencing tool made available to us by ASQ. It’s a different look and feel, but the virtual event went quite well. Chantale led a roundtable of introductions and some of the stories shared were quite amusing. Some people got to meet each other for the first time, old-timers like me knew everyone that attended, but really enjoyed seeing them again. In both circumstances, the exchanges were a pleasant way to end what had been a very challenging year. We’re going to try and leverage this experience to start the year off using Teams instead of Webex and see where this brings us. We’ll continue to explore alternatives to bring our members and interested Quality parties the best events we can.

To all, we wish you a safe, healthy, and happy new year for 2021.
Nous vous souhaitons à tous une bonne et heureuse année 2021, en toute sécurité et santé.

Student Outreach Committee – 2020 Eric Stern Award

Farnoosh NaderkhaniBy Dr. Farnoosh Naderkhani, ASQ Member, Assistant Professor @ Concordia, Student Outreach Committee Chair

Without a doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has abruptly changed the world as we knew it, at the beginning of the 2nd decade of the 21st century. The past nine months have been significantly challenging, startling, and disillusioning, in particular for students who are among those hardest hit as they were suddenly forced to live and learn remotely. On the bright side, we all have learned to continue learning, working, and socializing in a virtual environment. I wish all students a healthy, productive and prosperous 2021.

It is my great pleasure to announce that Mr. Kamyar Azar is the recipient of the ASQ Montreal Section’s 2020 Eric Stern Award. Mr. Azar is currently a full time Masters student, studying Quality System Engineering at the Concordia Institute for Information System Engineering (CIISE), Concordia University.

Kamyar Azar - 2020 Eric Stern Award

In summary, the intellectual merit of his work is in the development of advanced Machine Learning-based models (ML), coupled with Quality Control techniques to perform high accuracy predictions in the Healthcare industry. Nowadays, significant technological advancements have resulted in the availability of large multi-modal, complex and high-dimensional datasets within the Healthcare domain.

Due to the complexity of such datasets, using dimension reduction techniques is more important than ever before to increase the training speed and to provide better interpretations. In this regard, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) control chart, a well-known quality control technique for data dimensionality reduction, is applied to analyze the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) imaging dataset. Finally, multiple classification models are “trained” to predict a tumor’s malignancy. In addition to significant theoretical and technological implications of such projects, like Healthcare being a key driver of Canada’s economy, advancements in this line of research can have a significant impact on our Healthcare industry.

Congratulations Kamyar for your work. Great job.

Word from the Chair – Mot de la présidente

By Chantale Simard, MBA, Quality Assurance Analyst, Bombardier Aviation, ASQ CMQOE and CSSGB

Do you hold one or more ASQ certifications? Do you have the impression that our certifications are not recognized enough in Quebec and that employers do not differentiate from other certifications that are much easier to obtain? If this appeals to you, we need your help.

In fact, our section has given itself the mandate to promote ASQ certifications to employers and quality professionals in Quebec. I present to you, below, some avenues that we will explore this year.

First, we’ll maximize the use of our LinkedIn group with discussions on the value of certifications. We will also focus on mutual assistance between members in preparing for exams. Here is the link for our LinkedIn group.

Second, we will continue to represent ASQ at major events and we would like to be present at more of them. Are you aware of an event of interest? Let us know! You are interested in representing the section, let us know as well. Yes, it is possible to do so, even at virtual events!

Third, participate and invite your colleagues to our events, which will of course be virtual at the start of the year. To increase the visibility of our events, we’ll be using Eventbrite. The more known ASQ is, the better our certifications will be!

Fourth, as you probably already know, the Montreal section has been the only section in Quebec for a year now. We are in the process of modifying all of our platforms to make everything as bilingual as possible. Please visit our modernized website.

Finally, we are open to all other ideas. Contact me let me know about yours and thank you in advance for your help!

Happy healthy new year 2021!

For our October event with Diego Lythgoe: most of the participants were ASQ members (full and senior members). Feedback from participants were highly positive for Subject and Approach categories, with scores above 95% whereas results for Presenter and Exchange categories were 96% and 68% respectively.

Interestingly 46% of the audience declared themselves as Quality Specialist mostly in the manufacturing area.

Participants have expressed interest to attend other webinars, although no specific topics have been proposed.

Based on poll results, nearly 68% of the participants heard about the event through the Section’s Newsletter, which demonstrates it is still the perfect communication channel to reach a maximum of ASQ members and keep them informed about Section’s events. Finally, 7:00 – 9:00 pm was the best time to join webinar.

We would like to thank all the attendees for their renewed confidence towards the Montreal ASQ Section’s Leadership Team. We look forward to connecting with you soon at one of our events.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ASQ Montreal Section will continue to hold virtual events.

Stay tuned.

Diego Lithgoe

Veronica MarquezBy Veronica Marquez, M.Sc., CSSBB, ASQ senior member, and Had You Connected . . . COACHING SIX-SIGMA TEAMS

On October 28th, the Montreal section was around their computer screens to listen to a talk about Diego Lythgoe’s perspective on his journey of coaching.

Diego started with introducing the “coaching definition”, according to the International Coaching Federation (ICF): “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”. It is important to realise that coaching is not teaching and is not mentoring. It is an exploration based on curiosity and not knowing the answers. For those that practice Lean Six Sigma projects, this may sound somewhat familiar.

Based on my understanding from the presentation, the coaching’s competency model relies on 4 main sections. I’ve represented it in the following table.

The coach is there to help the client, not to solve the issue. The conversation therefore needs to focus on how the client is seeing and understanding the issue. It is about seeing the issue from the client’s perspective and their understanding of it. Since the coach is there for the client’s “growth to be optimal”, the focus must be on the client and not the issue being solved.

When looking at coaching outcomes specifically for a LSS practitioner’s development path, we can see two distinct axes. First, from individual to collective goals. Second, from behaviour to results. This 2 by 2 matrix lets us plot the different coaching outcomes that can be worked on depending on the experience of the LSS and the goals of development. Since Diego was addressing coaching in LSS teams, the team dynamics becomes an important element to consider. Therefore, he looks for shared goals and purposes; structured communications; allocated responsibilities and accountabilities; a level of interdependence; a willingness to place the collective goal above their own priorities; clear boundaries; and operating within a social system context. The coach of the LSS team must be able to understand the environment within which the team is operating; understand the phases of team development; understand the power and politics; connect the coaching to organisational change and development; and finally, consider the coaching as a leadership development process.

Interestingly, Diego presented the coaching system as being part of a social ecology, i.e. the organisation’s environment. Meaning that the coach interacts within an established system between the client team and the management, and both of these form part of the whole organisation. The coach’s relationship with both the client team and the management requires important levels of trust that cannot be breached. Therefore, a situation where the coach also directly reports to the management can create discomfort and uneasiness. Clear guidelines and methodology appear to be critical for the coaching cycle to be successful when in such an environment.Finally, as practitioners of LSS, we are familiar with the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) approach. Diego took it further and applied coaching to it and presented a new framework which guides the coach to use the DMAIC principles when coaching. The key elements of this framework are that all steps are driven with open questions as the coach wants to insight reflection to the client.

Diego finished the presentation with some of his personal “a-ha” moments into his coaching journey. His passion for coaching and for LSS wholly evident through his entire talk. I sincerely hope that you can meet him one day and have a conversation with him about coaching. It will encourage you to learn more about it.

Thank you Diego!
