Process Improvement:
Breakout the Required Actions
The reason that businesses and the leaders within them may struggle with change is that taking simple actionable steps can get overwhelmed quickly in the complexity of a problem.
- Breakdown the issue into as small contributing factors as possible.
- Start with making one issue the only issue to resolve and prioritize it for everyone.
- Make the issue in its least complex state the first one you solve and celebrate this.
- Do not tackle ‘larger’ or multi-faceted issues, maintain breakdown-and-win cycles.
