Justin BuzzardBased on a recent discussion on Quality from LinkedIn, I published Correction/Corrective/Preventative Actions in Quality on Medium.
It's an important thought and insight in how companies handle nonconformities.

Timothy Schwinghamer (he/him)A 2024 Surface #Water #Management Performance Audit by Alberta’s Auditor General found that (p. 9) “the Department of #Environment and Protected Areas has no water #conservation objectives in most basins; does not know if existing water conservation objectives are working; lacks robust processes to #monitor water pressures, assess #risks, and decide when water conservation objectives are needed, and; has ineffective #processes to approve #licenses and #monitor #compliance...

#Public #processes are an essential aspect of good decision-making.
Bill 7 also allows for the easier #transfer of #water use through water #licenses by extending the point of use or point of diversion beyond those set out in the original license. More positively, a more consistent measuring and #reporting of actual water use may be required.

Design Is the Work, by @jake:
Design is the work.
We're in a moment where it has never been cheaper or faster to build something convincing. The cost of taking an idea and making it look real, feel functional, or seem finished has collapsed. That is genuinely good news if you already know what you're building and why. It's dangerous if you don't.
Design and Engineering Solve Different Problems; AI Initiatives Are Forgetting That, by @jeana-with-a-j.bsky.social:
C.It's #Canadian #census time again! Seems like we just did this 5 years ago. My how time flies.
The #online version doesn't work for me - no surprise, governments rarely take any #exceptions into account when designing #processes, so I run into stuff like this all the time. So like last time, I go to request the paper version of the #questionnaire, and ... you can't. Not online. Not self-service, anyway.
Even if you go to start the online version and get errors, there's no "send me a paper version" link or button anywhere. The only option mentioned anywhere (hidden away in the FAQ that no one will read) is to *phone them* to request a paper version.
Ya, not happening. So used their "chat now" function, and it's #automated, and it can't help either, only repeats what you already know. Curse at it a bit, and it asks if I want to talk to a human agent.
Yes!
"It's out of business hours, there's no one to help you, goodbye, #chat ended."
Hoookay... so wait until today during business hours, open the chat again, and ... it takes me back into last night's chat. The one that's ended. And that you therefore aren't allowed to send any more messages in. The "end chat" button doesn't work, because it's ended already. No option to start a new chat.
Excellent work, boys, no #notes!
I had to clear cookies to get it to work. How's *that* gonna work for "click the colourful circle to go on Facebooks" crowd?
So I get to wait a week, then make some census workers sad.
