Download or read book KISS Keep It Simple System written by Steve "bloodymage" Willett and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-07-07 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KISS(tm) is a skill-based roleplaying system, suitable for any genre. It is not designed to be a universal system, but it's such a simple framework to hang stories and milieus on that it lends itself readily to fantasy, science fiction, horror or any other genre. The Pendulum Mechanic(tm) is easy and intuitive. Though KISS(tm) is skills based; only examples of skills are given. It's up to each individual Keeper (gamemaster) to design a skills set for each particular milieu. Musical instrument repair might be radio repair in a horror setting, telegraph repair in steampunk or microcomputer repair in science fiction. Sets or specific skills are not actually required; skills may simply be resolved under the most appropriate stat. That radio repair skill could be resolved under the Mind or Agility stat, whichever the Keeper thought most appropriate. In fact, much in KISS(tm) is left to the Keeper to detail offering possibly the widest creative latitude of any published roleplaying system.

Download or read book KISS Keep It Simple and Sustainable written by Lowell J. Puls and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean Enterprise has been a leading strategy to drive business improvement for over twenty years. When the tools are thoroughly and consistently applied, the results can exceed comprehension. Too often however, Lean efforts fail outright or generate middling results, with improvements disappearing; buried by changes in markets, strategy, or the loss of key personnel. The most common reason for failure in Lean is an organizations culture, and while many of those cultures possess behaviors that run counter to the Lean principles, it's more often an undercurrent created by non-Lean management behaviors that drive change efforts adrift. KISS IS about Managing Lean! Its goal is to expose the management behaviors that provide energy to that undercurrent, while suggesting systemic approaches eliminate them, freeing up your culture. The result will be sustained improvements and a steady evolution to a Lean culture. KISS will help you to define your leadership role, walk you through a strategy check, and draft your objectives. Next, it guides you through organizing your change management team and resetting their key priorities. Finally it shows how to use the Lean tools to initiate behavioral change, supported by updated metrics and revised business systems. KISS clears your path to sustaining transformational improvements.

Download or read book Keep It Simple Stupid written by Damon Sprock and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keep it Simple, Stupid: Mini Lessons for Millennials is a compilation of 254 blog posts on my website, DamonSprock.com, a site that encourages people to write in about questions they have pertaining to situations and circumstances that occur in their lives and that need to be resolved. Also, many of my scientific discoveries are included. KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid," a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated, therefore, simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. In all of my publications, I stress the need for simplicity when defining research I am conducting. The principle of Occam's razor, "All hypotheses being equal, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected," has been my model for revealing complicated, research material. Albert Einstein was quoted as saying, "If you cannot explain something in its simplest form, you do not know it." The lessons are a form of self-help with a touch of spiritual added.
