Stakeholder Relations:

Process/System Improvement Professionals

The Humaneering Institute strives to consider the goals and concerns of its stakeholders, including process/system improvement professionals (e.g., BPR, Six-Sigma, Lean, TQM, Kaizen, TOC, etc.). The success and positive impact of these methods is more assured and substantially extended through the complementary application of humaneering technology.

If you are a process/system improvement professional, or experienced in these practice disciplines, we invite you to influence the Institute's development and diffusion of humaneering technology through your guidance, participation, and support.

Guidance

• Make a suggestion
  We are interested in hearing your ideas. Use the provided electronic form to make a suggestion. Your suggestion can be anonymous, or you can provide us with you email address so we can respond, potentially with feedback on how we are going to use your idea.

Participation

• Review posted development needs
  Commencing in 2010, the Institute will expand on its practice of privately soliciting professionals experienced with the engineering-based process/system improvement disciplines for humaneering development process support. In January, we will begin posting select open calls for design panel participants, field project professionals, case study developers, and other assignments, including both volunteer and paid roles. Please check monthly for new postings.


• Become a humaneering technology consultant
  The Humaneering Institute is in need of professionals experienced with the engineering-based process/system improvement disciplines for work on field experiment teams, which combine scholars and consultants for action research field trials of humaneering technology. These assignments qualify as supervised experience toward professional licensure. People who want to balance their engineering-based practice methods with humaneering technology are invited to learn more about this role and express their interest. Full-time and contract positions are available.


• Volunteer based on your interests
  Virtually everyone now working with the Institute began as a volunteer, and the Institute is eager to involve more practice professionals in this important work. There's no better way to become familiar with humaneering technology and its development than to become part of the process. Please complete the volunteer form, letting us know what interests you about humaneering and how you would like to participate in its development. We will personally acknowledge your interest, and actively seek ways to get you involved according to your interests.


• Become a Founder of the Humaneering Institute
  If you see yourself as an pioneer or trend setter, then you should become an Institute Founder. For a financial contribution of at least US$40, you will participate significantly in the Institute's founding, and will begin receiving timely information on the inner workings of the Institute. This is a meaningful way to participate in the development and diffusion of humaneering technology, and a great way to identify a variety of additional opportunities for your participation in the months ahead.

Support

• Contribute to the Science Education Fund
  Help prepare future generations of the world's children to use humaneering technology. Your contribution of any amount will support the Institute's development and free distribution of course materials on humaneering technology for primary and secondary school students.


• Contribute to the 2020-Vision Endowment Fund
  A gift to the 2020-Vision Endowment Fund will support the development and diffusion of humaneering technology for use by current and future generations. The principal is preserved and only the investment proceeds used, which gives all contributions lasting impact. Your gift of any amount to this Fund will result in significant advancements in human effectiveness and economic capacity throughout the world.

Please determine if any other stakeholder groups apply to you, as our suggestions vary by stakeholder group.
