EFFECTIVE PLANNING
Situation
Your planning is more detailed than ever. But doesn’t it seem that the more detailed it is, the less realistic it becomes? Does your planning take up too much of your time? And just how easy is it to see the details while keeping the big picture in mind? Can you honestly say that your plans live on in the minds of your staff, influencing their daily decisions and actions?
Solution
By making your thinking visible you are able to organise details with more control. Laying out the various elements of your plan, helps you see the most effective permutations and creative connections. Instead of keeping details in your head while turning pages or scrolling through screens, you keep your mind fresh for rigorous analysis of alternatives.
Benefits
When your planning is designed, promoted and tracked with visual tools, you’ll find that:
- - You are more effective, gaining both time and coherence
- - Cross connections between projects become more noticeable
- - Predictions of unforeseen problems are more accurate
- - Staff make the plan more central to their daily decision making
- - It’s easier to show progress visually and capture everyone’s attention
- - New ideas and amendments are flexibly incorporated
- - The planning process becomes more transparent, resulting in more participation from colleagues
