Why so little improvements?
• The team not deciding itself,for itself,
• Too much focus on the goal, not enough on the process to reach it,
• No allowed room, nor time for actions (really?),
• Efforts and achievments not being valorized,
• Would you like to share your experience?
This is
not
my company!
REALITY? ILLUSION? MARKETING?
OR THE NEXT SLIDES?

Step 3: Formulation
• Pick a meaningful picture together: – A representation outside IT, in a familiar
environment, with everyday characters…
• Decide the title:– A synonym, some quality or weakness, what
that makes you think about…
• Write a description: – The given feeling with a hint of self-mockery,
what would allow you to solve the problem…

Step 4: Printing
• At least on a A3 / A4 support– If too small, the poster will not be noticed
• A « catch-the-eye » style– Especially for the geekest among us!

Step 5: Appropriation and Resolution
• Show and communicate– Make the problem transparent
• React and discuss the topic– It is dealt with, inspected and not hidden
• Get in your hands and act– Amelioration is inevitable, resistance is futile, to go
ahead!
• Resolve it for the next workshop or retrospective, reevaluate
