10. MAIN ISSUES REPORTED BY TEAMS
Lack of teamplay while individuals work on their own goals in siloed
teams or departments
Lack of execution of high level strategic plans (that remain high level)
Fighting fires in daily operations, being reactive while neglecting long
term results
Ineffective meetings that have limited outcome, feel unnecessarily long
and random
Lack of discipline, focus and clarity of priorities
22. TIPS
FOR
GETTING
STARTED
Explain & Commit
Ensure the team knows what they’re getting themselves into
Train
Create a shared and common understanding with the team of the Lean & Agile
thinking behind the method and how they should look at their work
Create a suitable space
White walls to tailor the Obeya to your needs and suitable place / platform for
communication
Refine & Own
The team members themselves create and refine the content on the wall and
own it
Rhythm & Routine
Get this started immediately and stick to it with help of a good facilitator
Build your own capabilities
Get expert support at the start but make sure you build your own capability in
this way of working – you’ll need it!
