Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

LEARNING FOR OURSELVES

Synopsis: Communication For Productivity
Letters written to some 7500 Workers / Managers / Union Leaders, following a period of strike / Go slow / Murders (1979 - 1987), at Mumbai factory of Larsen & Toubro Ltd. This direct / open / honest communication led to a remarkable atmosphere of trust between Workers and Management, which, in turn, increased productivity at 3% per year (ave).

Dear Mr.            

Learning - from ourselves


In June/July this year, I invited you to see  the film     "People & Productivity : We Learn from  the Japanese". After viewing the film', we wrote down on the black-board

-    what we SAW in the film
-    what we HEARD in the film

Thereafter, each one of you  decided (and told the group) what you will  do in  your own work-environment  during the  next  3 months to

-    improve housekeeping           
-    or improve efficiency             
-    or improve productivity           
-    or improve human-relations, etc.,  etc.

We also decided  that, after a few months,  we will meet again to exchange  notes  - on  our experimentation.   We  will tell others, if we think

-    we succeeded (and why)
-    we failed   (and why)
-     
so that we may learn from ourselves - from each other. I now invite you to come and share your experience

-    at ______________4.00 p.m.__________
-    in  C4/G-4 Conference Room______

I am rearranging the invitees as per       Gr. II/Gr.III/GR.IV/PGM                                       
(25) /  (50) /  (20)  /  (43)

I am also inviting the  concerned managers to join us and help us with the next phase of

Project motivation
