Have you ever had one of the following thoughts?

  • I/my team don't fully understand how our day to day work contributes to the bigger picture of the organisation?

  • I/my team can't really tell how well we are performing from day to day/week to week against our goals?

  • We don't even have goals - we just do our job

  • I want to stand out from the crowd and lead the improvement of my/my teams performance

  • I/my team do not understand what "good quality" looks like for our work

  • We do not seem to understand the true root causes of our problems - we just repeatedly fix the same problems as they arise
