Obituary: Rita Mulcahy (1960 - 2010)

Rita Mulcahy has died. Author one of the most widely used preparation for the PMP certification exam as compared to PMI - including dozens of books and study materials of Project Management -, died last Saturday May 15, due to a cancer that had been fighting for 5 years. Despite that, he worked with relish to close issues, designing products and further grow your business. .

was 50 years old, a husband (vice president of his company, RMC Project Management ) and two sons, aged 7 and 5 years of age. It is a great loss to the profession, that surprised by his devotion to hard work and enormous creativity. Read a book, watch a presentation, answer a question of simulation concocted by Rita, was a treat concurrent with the knowledge and pleasure.
.
The vast majority of PMP's we knew it and felt like a very familiar. We had brought with her a relationship to distance. His presence was almost bodily in our lives is that "Aunt Rita" (as we call my partner) was one of those people that seemed almost close relatives. During the time we prepare for the exam and then consulting for our classes, contact with his wisdom was (is) everyday.
.
No course that does not name. My students know Aunt Rita, their advice, their grievances "specious" their "PMIsmos." We laughed and sometimes we angry at their exam questions. All learning left even the most "tricky" (no more than the most tricky!).
:
Aunt Rita: you will be missed. ------------- RIP



copy, then the announcement of his death at the site of his company:

Rita Mulcahy, Founder of RMC Project Management and the project management best-selling author of all-time, Passed away on Saturday, May 15th 2010, from complications related to a five-year battle with Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). She was 50. Rita leaves behind husband Tim Mulcahy, current Vice-President and Chief Legal Counsel for RMC, and two children, ages 7 and 5.

Rita was diagnosed with Stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer in September of 2005, just days before two scheduled speaking appearances at PMI Global Congress in Toronto, Ontario. Given only months to live, Rita spent the next five years privately fighting her disease with a continuous regimen of both Western and Holistic treatments. During that time she continued to work, authoring five more best-selling books—including one with Fortune 100 leader Cisco Press—and delivering classes and keynote speeches across the globe. She also spent a great deal of time growing her business, and over the last five years watched RMC expand its training and product distribution to nearly 50 regions worldwide.

After her diagnosis, Rita worked feverishly to build RMC into one of the fastest-growing training organizations in the industry. Today, her thriving company is filled with some of the most sought-after experts in the fields of instructional design and delivery, learning development, and educational technology. Going forward, the Management Team at RMC will continue to leverage Rita's marketing-leading methodologies and learning techniques to develop more award-winning products, classes and e-learning courses in Project Management and numerous other related disciplines.

Even though Rita is no longer with us on a day-to-day basis, her unique and highly effective teaching style will live on through the hundreds of thousands of products and courses RMC delivers worldwide each year. In 2010, the Project Management industry lost its most passionate leader, advocate and friend. We will feel her loss every single day.

What Is The Bankrollmob

The Lord of Thorns



many times have we seen and used the cause-effect diagrams, fishbone or created by Ishikawa! But ... Who was this man and what contributed to the quality?
..

Kaoru Ishikawa was the first author who attempted to highlight the differences between the styles of Japanese and Western management. Its main hypothesis was that different cultural characteristics in both societies were instrumental in Japan's success in quality.
.
Ishikawa The main ideas found in his book " What is Total Quality Control?: Japanese mode." It indicates that the TCC (Total Quality Control) in Japan is characterized by the participation of everyone from top managers to lower employees.
.
put special attention on developing the use of statistical methods and practical access for industry. In 1943 developed the first diagram to advise a group of engineers from a Japanese industry. The Cause-Effect Diagram is used as a systematic tool for finding, selecting and documenting causes of variation in quality in production, and organize the relationship between them. Ishikawa

defined management philosophy that is behind the quality, the elements of quality systems and what he calls the "seven basic tools of quality management" , where it is considered a strong tilt statistical techniques. He was also responsible for developing the audit process used to determine whether a company is selected to receive the Deming Prize, the solution of problems based on computers.

Some of the key elements their philosophies are summarized below:


  • .- The quality begins with education and ends with education.
    .- The first step in quality is to the needs of customers.
    .- The ideal state of quality control occurs when the inspection is not required.
    .- Remove the root cause and not the symptoms.
    .- Quality control is the responsibility of all workers in all areas.

    .- Put quality first and turn your view of the long-term profits.
    .- The marketing is the input and output quality.
    .- Senior management must not show anger when their subordinate facts presented to them.

    .- Those who do not have data scattered information (ie, variability) are false.
