You also have to be careful if going by a gut feeling is actually Unconscious bias...

Hi All, my name is Karl based in Germany (but in the UK at the moment). I work in a large company on Lean and Process excellence. What I hope to do is find out more about supporting and encouraging innovation that is not just problem solving issues in how we are working now. How do you encourage “True” innovation…

Karl Prince replied to Juho Iivanainen
@JuhoIivanainen yes, in Germany if you have too much money in a current account you have to pay the bank interest...hence a colleague just bought a very nice car to reduce her account!

I think "...where it does the most good." depends on how you define good, profit and good are not the same. IMHO

Karl Prince made a comment
interesting the change process is good, has some key points that can be missed but should culture also be considered?

interested in the next step on how to move from non agile to agile.
we have a lot of safe or incremental innovation...

Karl Prince made a comment
great video, deliver fast and learn.
we have a real mix to this with what must be delivered to the customer avoiding Minimum marketable product/ minimum viable product being everything...

Karl Prince made a comment
very important to drive innovation but sometime people want to play safe and are afraid to fail/learn.
got me thinking though

Karl Prince made a comment
Agile 101 was a good overview thanks :-)
-
Karl Prince replied to Mark Grant
@MarkGrant Scrum framework can be used in hardware development as well, but yes more used in software and more difficult in hardware.
I think we will learn more about the scrum ceremonies later...

Karl Prince made a comment
One point I guess is about getting people to communicate with each other.
I do like the comment about the fishing :-)

Karl Prince replied to Juliana Veale
sometimes the user only know what the want when they see what they don't want, if that makes sense...

Karl Prince made a comment
good overview from the video explaining the Agile Manifesto.
it is then how the teams apply it not only in software development but also in hardware development...

Karl Prince replied to Karen S.
@supratikghosh Bur, does that mean the project plan has priority rather than responding to change?

we use a pie chart to compare the number of project "challenges" in the different divisions. But for the same information we use bar charts to show how many "challenges" are solved against weeks taken.

Is TELL changing culture from a more masculine, tell and do, to a more feminine culture of coaching an developing?

I agree but does it reflect an Australian culture in using Masculine Feminine as the descriptors I wonder.

good on the family link, far more open questions and listening to him allocated time over two days if needed was also good.

Karl Prince made a comment
yes this is something i will use, I have some people I can support with this as they are dealing with complex issues.

Karl Prince replied to Matthew Rowse
we are trying to do the same, but slipping back in some areas.

Karl Prince made a comment
kind of interesting, PROGRESS and eFIRE are one approach, is it really the very best - good yes for sure.
Maybe I have not got it yet :-)
-
Karl Prince made a comment
Open questions to get some feedback on what Gerick thinks will work and what need to change:
Sales are poor I know you are working hard, how can I help?
Where do you see there are problems?
How do you feel about this issue?
What other things, issues and challenges concern you now
What is working now, and what is not working?
Kind of a mix, but get the... -

would a complex problem for TELL culture of the global leaders?
it is a good course and I like the link to "Cynefin"
-
Karl Prince made a comment
You know that you can increase your intelligence by learning, and you like a challenge. You believe that the best way to learn is to work hard, and you don’t mind making mistakes while you do it. This is what we call the “growth mindset.”
after "A problem with the server request occurred" many times
But I guess by doing this training we could expect this?
-
Karl Prince made a comment
For my particular issue I will explore with these questions:
What is working now, and what is not working? (Consider this from some different viewpoints.)
What are some different methods, tools or models you could use to "Inquire" on this issue?
-
Karl Prince made a comment
Imagine we get exactly what you/we want – what is possible and what will things be like?
That could really open up the conversation
Then possibly
At the end of our conversation, what would you like to be different?
not sure on 3 yet, maybe this depends on how the conversation goes :-) -
Karl Prince made a comment
What is important to you about working in this area? or what is the value to you?
I will try this in a particular situation to see how it goes -
Karl Prince made a comment
very much command, I know this will work and your are doing it- no choice.
We will listen listen listen but did not ask you about doing this...
However I think it is a great vision and maybe this is what the managers need, but will the managers want to be coaches, can everyone be a coach - "how do you feel about that?"
-
Karl Prince made a comment
yep very command and tell with pace setting get in close and I can "help" you.
should be interesting how this changes...

Nokia are a great example, or Microsoft did not see Apple doing well in phones

if you were to release all the data it would just be a number crunching exercise to eventually match. If data is publicly available someone would do this not matter the punishment, it could for instance be performed by nations beyond the reach of the law.
Better is to have control of who is allowed access to data that could be used to identify individuals,...

Personally I would run a workshop and get the people who do the work to identify the problems.

you can also add robots, or co bots collaborative robots working together with people to improve the process with automation.

Karl Prince replied to Ruth Willis
fully agree I ran a process analysis by interviewing people and asking what did and did not work, then a workshop with the same people to identify what to fix and how.

so a service level agreement in dealing with customer issues?

Karl Prince replied to David Keltie-Armstrong
As you say it depends on the strategic direction set by the owners. Premium. as you say all about the experience and knowledge of the staff.
A really nice example I went to recently with fixed six course menu very high quality food and excellent service from knowledgeable staff. So some optimization of costs with fixed menu but very much about the experience! -

Very interesting article on IA, as Dorothy mentioned earlier how you can interface with tools that support your work sounds challenging on a UX and business front.
