Governance
Growth from a nurtured corporate culture
There are three major ingredients in the DOLPHIN way of life:
- Firstly, emphasis on assignment to each employee of "roles" instead
of a mere management by objectives or by functions or even by tasks,
- Second, prevalence given to "collective problem-solving" versus
emotional or authoritarian decision-making,
- Third, the relational bond of "quality-controlled processes
negotiated" constantly, per ISO-9001, as opposed to either
lackadaisical or rigid practices.
As for management by roles, it enables a heightened sense of responsibility
for every employee, with adhoc delegation of authority but with little
emphasis on hierarchical positions. This is a surprise for whomever
expects some traditional hierarchical chain of command, while managerial
positions can be focused on personnel grooming, performance evaluation,
assessment of training needs, and collective problem-solving.
Our certification program is centered on the theme "Quality is
the daughter of Urgency". A bit shocking, it is tantamount to
acknowledging that Time-To-Market can only be improved through a lively
combination of design-reviews, self-controls and acceptance criteria,
which must encompass the end-users' design-in processes, must involve
rational IQ assessments (Index of Quality) and must be styled by a
genuine dedication to customer service. Since it is a not so common
an approach, diverse publications have been presented on this theme
at professional conferences and a copy may be obtained from [jfp@dolphin-integration.com].
Our background with years as a custom IC Design Center has turned into
a bonanza for proper specification of products together with their
adequate end-user support.
DOLPHIN also believes that "Quality is the mother of Growth".
Any enterprising team with a strong corporate culture may be perceived
with awe by smaller partners in search for (M&A) a Merger and Acquisition
relationship. DOLPHIN has strived to document its specific ways and
behaviors, which make its success and its difference, and which might
require adaptation.
European candidates are invited to consider the benefits of a progressive
approach using the (JEV) Joint European Venture process advocated by
the Commission.
More distant enterprising teams may wish to proceed with an other progressive
approach to first learn how to cooperate in partaking in our ViCToRY™ Sharing
Program, standing for a ViC Trust (offering Reliability and Yield)
since it involves either savvy in marketing or else know-how in IC
development.
DOLPHIN has established the profile of diverse partners who would
be welcome as ideal candidates for all sorts of rapprochement.
It is obviously
related to SIP or EDA, assets, design skills or selling experience.
Such candidates are invited to address their suggestions or requests
