Why Does the World Have a Shortage of Automotive Electricians?

July 27, 2020 Comments Off on Why Does the World Have a Shortage of Automotive Electricians?

The massive demand and the fact that the trainee numbers decreased drastically, for qualified automotive electricians particular those with the more advanced skills, has created a shortage of workers in this field.

The fact that changes in automotive technology brought along that auto electricians increasingly needs more and more advanced knowledge of sophisticated components and the working of these components.

Cause a normal school drop out not to be suitable to be trained as an auto electrician technician any more. It used to be the school dropped outs that was trained in the past to become workers in automotive industry. This is no longer the norm.

As people that’s wants to be trained as these technicians needs more advance skills and schooling now-a-days before they can be trained to be fit for these jobs. They must have a knowledge base of electronics and the working of electronic systems.

To become an advanced skilled auto electrician, you will have to undergo serious training in the understanding of these systems that is implemented into vehicles. You must have the skills and experience to work with computer diagnostic equipment.

This will be necessary for the following reasons.

The diagnostic scan tool only supplies the technician with a default code.

Then it is up to the technician to identify the possible cause of this defect.

This default code can still be misleading as it can be caused by the substitution from the one defect to another.

Therefore, the technician must understand this substitution due to the hop-technology that will try to override the defect by shifting it to a working component.

After the real cause of the defect was identified, the technician must have the skills and knowledge to rectify the defect.

These are a few reasons why less and less people gets trained as automotive technicians, because you basically needs people with after school educations to be trained as automotive electricians in this modern world we living in.

To me this will become an even bigger problem in the future as the amount of vehicles with this advanced technology installed into them will just increase in numbers.

Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management

July 19, 2020 Comments Off on Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management

Basically, Knowledge Management (KM) describes how processes participants (particularly decision processes) utilize all resources (particularly information resources) to achieve their goals with precision, accuracy, on time and on budget inside every organization. In order to reach this objective, Knowledge Management comprises Information Systems for capture and shows participants or users best expertise, Human Resources Administration for selecting, take and learn their best talents and expertise in their knowledge areas, documented and undocumented procedures with business rules for standardize organization’s activities and Finance for quantifying their talent and expertise value, performance and importance for the organization.
From this point of view, Knowledge Management is focused in how every key employee of an organization executes her key activities timely, without errors, following business rules (or not), how this business rules are efficient and effective (or not) and how this employee make decisions: which information pieces support this decisions and how this information pieces can configure some behaviors (or not).
Additionally from this perspective, Business Intelligence is a tool, a resource to be used for participants to make decisions. BI describes how organization is making business and how much focused is organization about achieving its goals.
Business Intelligence is about organization’s performance, Knowledge Management is about organization’s behavior in order to obtain the best way to make best business activities (particularly decisions). Here is the key about these two definitions. Other way to understand these definitions, differences and relationships is: BI describes the performance of organization’s activities and KM describes the organization’s components activities that produce the obtained performance. BI captures and tries to improve business results, KM captures and tries to improve organization processes and activities.
Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management together are capable to dramatically improve overall performance of any organization, but it is necessary to understand, plan and apply every implementation carefully. All BI and KM implementations must be fully supported by all organization’s stakeholders and executive levels. With their full commitment, these tools can boost all organization’s personnel productivity and, of course, profitability.

Respect the Author, Respect the Writing – How to Critique the Writing of Others

Respect the Author, Respect the Writing – How to Critique the Writing of Others

Giving feedback about the paper is a way to show who you are and how much you care about the author.

Suppose, in your opinion,  the author has made a glaring error in logic or has not supported the thesis, or mischaracterized an opposing view, and because you are concerned about hurting their feelings, you don’t say anything.

How are you helping them? By letting their paper out into the world?

If you were right about the paper, and didn’t tell them, shame on you.

If you were wrong about the paper, that should emerge in the continued dialogue between professionals and now you have a chance to sharpen your own tool. You miss that chance if you don’t CRITIQUE THE PAPER, NOT THE PERSON.

If you comment on the paper without regard for the human who offered their vulnerability, their knowledge, their insights, THEMSELVES to you, try remembering to walk a mile in their shoes and ask yourself, before sending, have I been fair? have I been constructive? What is the tone of voice I used?

If you would say things anonymously about the paper in a double blind, but not to their face, that says more about you than about the paper you are critiquing.

Envision the paper as it leaves their hand and lands on a community table of knowledge for consideration. Focus on the paper on the table, not the person who offered it. The paper is not the person; restrict yourself to examining what has been offered. Don’t assume you know anything about their feelings or how they might take it. They have offered a piece of academic writing. Your duty is to evaluate it academically, while remembering there is a person on the other end, eventually.

The author has given us all a gift. Respect the gift by giving it your best critique: with support, with care, with your best work.  Respect the author for their gift and vulnerability. The critiques we offer are more important than anything we are likely to write on our own, and we will do a lot more of them than our own writing.

If you are an author, recognize the boundary between your Self and your paper. Be clear about what you are asking for when you offer it for review. If you want self-esteem more than honesty, you’ll get both, but not as you might want it.

Gaining Knowledge – How We Use All of the Resources Available to Us to Scale the Heights

July 11, 2020 Comments Off on Gaining Knowledge – How We Use All of the Resources Available to Us to Scale the Heights

There are three kinds of knowledge available to us: through other’s experience, through our own experience, and through our innate intelligence and experience. When we climb mountains, we need to use all three.
Through other’s experience, we gain knowledge that prepares us for the journey ahead by gaining greater awareness about it; insights and knowledge about the mountain will help us to make correct decisions when we encounter the mountain. Through our own experience, we gain knowledge about what works for us, what enables us on our actual quest and the nature of that quest. Our innate intelligence and experience – instincts – helps us to make decisions when neither the knowledge we have gained from others nor our own experience seems adequate. What if something we encounter on the trail that we did not learn about and have never experienced confuses us? What do we do then?
This is where we learn to trust ourselves, to have faith in ourselves, our innate abilities and intelligence. If we have the time and have brought resources – perhaps other people or information – with us, we can stop and consult these resources. Even though we have these resources, we may not find information and solutions that make us comfortable. Sometimes we need to decide what’s best for us by consulting our innate, inner resources.
What exactly are these inner resources? We know we have resources within us by the fact that our hearts pump, our lungs breath, our blood circulates. These physical resources sustain us, they keep us alive. We know they operate through their own intelligence. That is, we do not consciously direct them; they are either self-directed or there is an intelligence within us – a subconscious one perhaps – that does. If they are self-directed, then contained within their function, their cells, is the intelligence that does. Whether this intelligence is automatic doesn’t matter. Intelligence is not necessarily a reflection of conscious choice. We have all witnessed conscious choices – perhaps our own – that have been anything but intelligent. When birds fly south for the winter, it is what we call an instinct; we understand that the bird is not making a conscious decision – weighing the pros and cons – about flying south. It just is and does, and we don’t think the decision is any less intelligent because of this. In fact, remaining up north for the winter, freezing and dying, would be a pretty stupid thing to do.
Our heart may react to our circumstances and pump faster or slower enabling us to perform an activity to our greatest physical capacity. Like the bird, our heart just is and does, making innate, instinctive decisions. Like the bird, these decisions are not any less intelligent because they are innate. If our heart didn’t pump faster, we would faint, drop from exhaustion, or die. So not pumping faster would be a pretty stupid thing for our heart to do.
Where does this innate intelligence come from, what is its source? Does it reside within us each individually or does it originate elsewhere? Now we’re again talking about the big picture. What we believe about the nature of the universe is not initially important. However, gaining an awareness of this innate intelligence within us that guides and is capable of guiding us is important. As we get in touch with this ability, this intelligence, we can make up our own minds about the big picture, about the nature of the universe. We will be able to do so as we learn to believe in and trust ourselves. We can make that decision independently from our own knowledge and experience.
If we believe a source of intelligence lies within us, then our heart may know to beat faster because of information, knowledge, imbedded either in its own cells, cells somewhere else in the body, or a combination therein. An event occurs and information stored in the cells triggers an intelligent response by the heart. Our heart has an innate, intuitive, instinctual intelligence.
Could our heart be a microcosm of a macrocosm, representative of the whole? We understand that other organs of our body may operate in the same way. But what of our total body, including our brain? Could there be information stored in the cells of our body and brain that could help us to decide whether it’s better to go north or south when we are climbing a mountain, when we are unsure where in the world we find ourselves? Is there an innate intelligence that could aid us in these situations? If so, how do we get in touch with it?
Most of us have heard popular words to describe innate intelligence. We may have been told to trust our instincts or follow our intuition. We may have some experiences which validate a belief in these concepts or we may feel it’s a lot of hocus pocus. Again, we must each decide for ourselves. But we should keep an open mind, allow for the possibilities, or we shut down to opportunities for growth.
Personally, I have come to believe in innate intelligence. It is what I have come to call self-knowledge. It is knowledge of the self, gained by the self. That is, we learn about ourselves, and the knowledge that enables our learning resides within us.
I have found that I can access this knowledge, this guidance, by asking questions of myself. When I am confused, unsure, upset, or sad, I can ask myself a question, pause, and wait for an answer. I have done this verbally, in my mind, and by putting pen to paper. Some may say the answers are my imagination, my conscious mind answering itself. Whatever the source, I have found these answers insightful and sometimes inspiring. When I have trusted them, trusted myself, I have found my viewpoint expanded and my ability to act positively in the world empowered.
To specific situations I may ask, “What is a greater understanding about this, what should my response be, what can I or do I need to learn from this, how can I make this better, how can I help, what do I need to know to enable my decision, why am I feeling this way, how can I feel and perceive the situation differently?” I have also asked more profound questions regarding the big picture and my relationship to it. I have learned to trust these answers and in turn, myself. Acting upon them in the world, I have seen their truths to be self-evident. Each of us needs to give ourselves the opportunity to discover our intelligence, our truths within.
The ways we discover our innate intelligence can be different for each of us. It may be through our passions, interests, avocation, loving actions, or contemplative, supplicative, and meditative states. When we are open to it, when we believe and seek its expression in the world, our innate intelligence can be reached. It may be in the form of insight, of spontaneous right action, inspiration, a feeling in the body, a creative visualization, or a conviction as to the meaning of something. Whatever its expression, we know it when it happens, we just need to allow it into our lives by trusting ourselves.
When we trust ourselves and allow this innate intelligence into our lives, we can help our children develop it in theirs. We do this by making them aware of it. We can discuss it with them, what it is, how it works, and give them examples in our own lives. Again, when we do this we are human, sharing our lives with them and giving them opportunities to learn and grow. By our example and through their own innate intelligence, our children will learn to make the best decisions for themselves.
