These superb “consultants” are already on the payroll. They’re called employees!
Every day, every week, every month they use “Consideration” to express their thoughts on how to improve, how to transform. And the biggest change is in themselves. They begin to think about how they - as an individual - can do things better.
They move from hired hands to hired brains. And managers move to be innovation coaches and change facilitators. Everyone thinks of their work as a Process - a joined-up process which can be better.
Consideration is crucial
With “Consideration” they have an effective way to scale Continuous Improvement and overcome the barriers to Innovation. There is a way to make conversations about Change both natural and transparent. There is Cultural change taking place through the practice of Inclusion and Diversity.
With Consideration there is a proven way to share and spread Improvement ideas. There is a methodology that encourages thinking about potential improvement projects; improving processes that deliver greater customer value.
People become proficient at recognising problems, and that triggers their suggestions:
Too many enquiries that can’t be resolved first time
Too much rework
Too many complaints
Too many things not within individual control
Process steps with long processing times
Excessive delays between steps
Excessive checking
Steps with high inventory
Supply chain issues
They think about problems of Transport or Inventory or Motion or untidy work areas. They get to the root cause of issues.
