Our opinions and views matter a lot and so do the opinions and views of others. Human beings tend to form views and opinions about just anything and everything. The opinions that we form can influence someone else’s thinking to a great extent, and if the opinions and views belong to a reliable person or a credulous source then the magnitude of influence amplifies. Nowadays, the influence of social media has increased so much that every person prefers to consider the views and opinions of other people before doing anything in their respective lives.
Suppose a person is on a lookout for a new Smartphone, he will never go straightaway to the shop and buy one. First of all he would consult his friends and ask them about their views on the cell phone, and then he would search the web for reviews and then finally take a decision of buying that Smartphone. Likewise, when a person starts planning for a vacation, he would never choose a place about which he has not heard some positive reviews, after an intensive research on places and people’s feedback on them, finally one decides a place. Similarly, there are multifarious things about which one prefers to take into consideration the views and opinions of others to be on a safer side.

Developing Lean Culture Training
Advancement in any industry depends upon its strategic plans and continuous improvement. However, it is not necessary that the same strategies will succeed in every condition. In the changing world, business strategies also keep changing. Today, the role of management is completely different from what it was a decade ago. Monopoly is no longer a successful affair; instead role of the people has emerged as an important factor. The attitudes of people have changed and so have their functions. Now, quality output, teamwork, people involvement, recognitions and individual considerations are the key to success.
Organizations therefore need to adopt strategic ways to improve quality and reduce wastage to increase their efficiency and productivity. In order to manage change and create continuous improvement, organizations need to adopt lean culture. Lean culture needs to be adopted from the very basic level of hiring people.

Landmark Group, a retail and hospitality conglomerate, is branching out into the UAE healthcare sector for the first time.
The company, based in Dubai, plans to open 20 clinics across the country with an investment of Dh100 million (US$27.2m).
The unexpected move comes as total healthcare spending in the UAE is projected to reach as much as $17 billion by 2015.
Landmark yesterday outlined plans to open 20 primary healthcare clinics during the next two to three years. The company, which has a turnover of $4.7bn and owns retail brands including Babyshop and Home Centre, as well as Citymax hotels, is also aiming to expand its iCare clinics across the region.
“It’s a risk at the end of the day,” said Vipen Sethi, the chief executive of Landmark Group. “But it’s not a major risk. Today it’s a good line to get into.”
Spending per capita in the UAE is among the top 20 in the world at more than $1,500, according to research by Deloitte.
The sector’s contribution to GDP is expected to grow from an estimated 2.9 per cent last year to 3.4 per cent by 2015, according to the research.
Investments in facilities in the sector include the Cleveland Clinic, which is under development in Abu Dhabi. DM Healthcare Group this month announced it planned to roll out a new brand of budget clinics aimed at lower-income patients.
The UAE Government spent an estimated $8bn in 2010 and is believed to have spent 24 per cent of last year’s federal budget on social and healthcare development, according to Deloitte.
Analysts say there is still huge scope for development in the healthcare sector in the region.
“In the last three years there has been some kind of awakening that we have been under-investing in health care and governments have been rushing to try to fill this gap,” said Jad Bitar of Booz & Company.
But an increase in the cost of health care “has led governments to realise that they … need to rely on the private sector to offer some of these services”, he said.
Mr Bitar described Landmark Group’s announcement as “a smart move”, saying chains of clinics required relatively low capital expenditure and could achieve a return on investment quite rapidly.
“It is a sustainable business model because demand is there,” he said.
Landmark’s primary healthcare clinics are described as “affordable”. Its first clinic launched yesterday in the Oasis Centre, a shopping mall on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. Its second clinic is expected to open in Discovery Gardens Dubai in a few days’ time.
“The advantage for Landmark is that they already have strategic geographical positioning through their retail business, so it would be easy for them to capitalise on their geographic presence,” said Prem Jagyasi, an independent healthcare consultant.
“The concept in western countries like a ‘quick clinic’ and ‘minute clinic’ is missing in Gulf countries,” he said. “The primary healthcare system is the backbone of any healthcare system. As much as we need facilities for complicated surgery, we also require easy accessible, available and affordable services which are provided by primary healthcare.”
Renuka Jagtiani, the vice chairwoman of Landmark Group and the wife of the company founder and chairman Micky Jagtiani, pointed out that there were some parallels between the retail and healthcare sectors.
“We don’t consider it very different because healthcare is also about the customer,” Ms Jagtiani said.
“It’s about understanding the customer, understanding what value is for that customer and catering to the need.”
