Good news
• An entrepreneur is an enterprising individual who builds capital through risk and/or initiative
• Entrepreneurs are catalysts for economic change
… I found out what we all are

Focus of today
• Not on the big idea, the innovation or the step change that catalyses economic change
• But is on – The system that brings it to fruition and how to
harness it effectively • The heady combination of people, process, product,
strategy, assetts,
Enduring Success = Great product or service idea + effective realisation

Monkeys, Darwin and my lawn !
So what is the environment that liberates and focuses these behaviours

… and if we don’t focus problem solving for
everyone what typically happens • Problem solving is random or reactive to quality
problems and customer issues– It sometimes gets called fire fighting and it’s
excitement that is the driver • It’s normally the preserve of the senior teams
– Those who fix ‘problems’ are critically overburdened • It is done in an unstructured way based on
opinions not facts and causes • We have large parts of the employee base who
are not contributing as effectively as they could

The way the workplace is structured, organised & orientated to satisfy customer requirements at the best value. “How the work actually works!”
How issues & opportunities are surfaced & resolved & the way in which appropriate metrics drive the right improvement behaviour at the right level & pace
The way in which leaders at all levels engage & coach stakeholders to maintain standards whilst continually trying got develop individuals & improve team performance
The ‘3 Systems’ Model – Overview of the Systems

System of Work
[15]
The workplace is structured & organised
in order to surface issues
The workplace is orientated to satisfying
customer needs
Resources are deployed to ensure quality of operation &
deliver value, not only reducing cost
Metrics are meaningful at all levels
CONDITIONS
For example; work ‘flows defect free’, is highly visual and processes are in control so that any
waste, overburden or unevenness is not hidden
FEATURES
For example; quality, cost, delivery, safety measures are conspicuous and customers are
understood throughout the value stream
Explicit ‘public’ depiction of role and responsibilities are clear, connected and aligned to achievement of organisational (department)
goals
Demonstrate clear linkage to operational and strategic targets and are aligned to drive the right
behaviour (value stream not ‘silo’ benefit)

System of Improvement
[17]
The purpose and method of improvement activity is
clearly specified
A process of individual and team learning is
explicit
Issues, once surfaced, are treated according to
type & resolved thoroughly & quickly
The pace and success of improvement activity
is measured
CONDITIONS
For example, to seek process stability and control as a precursor to daily CI using proven
tools with defined resources and levels of participation.
FEATURES
The use of the problem solving cycle in appropriate contexts, for example; both in
conversational coaching & formal implementation review
For example, the classification into 'problems, opportunities, risks & solutions‘ which are then
prioritised & executed according to type of improvement activity (CI or DI)
Both the improvement activity itself, for example; Close-Out Ratio and 'issue list' reduction as well
as the outcome of the activity; benefits

System of Thinking & Behaviour
[19]
Leaders read the situations faced by their people and
respond with effective performance coaching building
an incremental mind-set
Leaders at all levels build a deep understanding of how
work, works
Leaders seek to exploit the benefits that come from the
diversity of thinking style
Leaders foster organisational learning by connecting CI and
DI through PDCA thinking at all levels
CONDITIONS
The right conversations happen at the right time in the right place in the right way
FEATURES
Leaders who are close to the work and through considered inquiry are able to discuss it with colleagues in a challenging yet constructive
manner
Psychometric data supports team composition and selection decisions
Escalation & ‘roll out’ processes exist and senior managers consider deeply the impact of central
changes on the local operation & vice versa

Collaboratio
n
Able to operate effectively at several organisational levels and across organisational boundaries
ReflectionAble to assimilate experience, confirm existing and form new approaches to issues

Copyright S A Partners LLP 2012

Why these dispositions?
[21]
Disposition Why these?
UrgencyBecause it increases the pace and breadth of issue resolution avoiding small problems becoming big ones
ProximityBecause showing a deep interest in the work that people do engages them and helps them to learn
Collaboratio
n
Because leveraging diversity improves the quality of issue resolution
ReflectionBecause thinking and learning well is at the heart of improvement effort
ChallengeBecause well designed challenges that require thought and effort are motivational enhancing learning and performance

The curse of ‘suggestion’
• Suggesting ideas and solutions to team members is seductive.
• Offering the idea makes the giver feel good; receiving the idea makes the receiver feel comfortable.
• There is learning and performance improvement in this arrangement but it is sub-optimal.
• Both players are complicit in creating subtle forms of
dependence.
