Do you have time not to do business improvement?
Abstract
Your time is limited but your to-do list seems endless. The last thing you want to do is add one more thing to the list, especially a big one like a business improvement program.
It’s counter-intuitive, but that might be exactly what you need to do.
In our experience, managers who initiate a well run business improvement program find that it’s far from being the straw that broke the camel’s back. Quite the reverse: Not only will a good program lift performance, it actually frees up time for managers and their staff.
A good business improvement program eliminates low-value activity which can take up valuable time; reduces the number and length of meetings, and the number of people who need to attend them; prevents ‘buck-passing’ and endless, circular follow-ups by training the organisation to assign clear deliverables and single-point accountabilities.
In other words, an effective business improvement program will address the root causes of your endless to-do list, freeing up those magical “extra hours in the day”. Our clients use them to get on top of important issues before they become urgent… or to get home in time for dinner.
