Speed up delivery and spark joy
Once we have a rigid way of thinking, it’s very hard for us to abandon a current work practice. We’ve convinced ourselves that we’ve always done it this way, so it must be good. The routines seem deeply embedded and firmly ingrained. They are hardly ever questioned. We’re blind to it. In which way can we take a picture of our performance with fresh eyes?
An untouched work process like that is a gold mine for improvement. Unfortunately, because of all the process noise, the voice of the customer becomes impossible to hear. We need to simplify our process and create pipelines for rapid delivery of business services. Value that matters to our clients. We can’t think our way into a new way of acting. So it’s back to the drawing board to revise our value stream from the beginning.
How we help
The Obeya Navigation System puts great emphasis on aligning customer demand with team capabilities. For every activity we ask ourselves: “Does it spark joy?” Value Stream Mapping, done well, will uncover much of what deserves to be healed, and it’s a fun process to engage in with your leadership. The Obeya makes improvements visible. Now we can see, now we understand, now we learn and get smarter everyday. We encourage you to embark on this discovery yourself and let us help facilitate.
