Mark Graban and Gregory Jacobson — Congratulations! You Have Lots of Employee Ideas! Now What?

Many Lean or Kaizen ini­tia­tives are focused on get­ting front-line employ­ees to iden­ti­fy prob­lems or oppor­tu­ni­ties for improve­ment, along with a poten­tial idea or coun­ter­mea­sure. Some man­agers, unfor­tu­nate­ly, think their employ­ees won’t have many good ideas. This is hard­ly ever the case! Your employ­ees have a lot of great ideas.

Next Video Matthew May — The Play-To-Win Strategy Formulation Canvas 

Strat­e­gy means dif­fer­ent things to dif­fer­ent peo­ple. Some define strat­e­gy as a vision, some as a plan. Oth­ers define it as opti­miz­ing the sta­tus quo, or per­haps fol­low­ing best prac­tices. Still oth­ers deny that strat­e­gy is pos­si­ble, espe­cial­ly in times of great and rapid change. Mak­ing and act­ing on choic­es pro­duces win­ners. Why? Because clear, tough choic­es force your hand, con­fine you to a path, but free you to focus on what mat­ters most: win­ning. The activ­i­ty cen­ters on com­plet­ing a take­away deliv­er­able: the Play-to-Win Can­vas, a large wall map that guides the team through the think­ing required to pro­duce two com­pet­ing strate­gic choices.
