Better Decision Making: Avoiding the Conclusion Trap and Other Pitfalls
•
1 like•598 views
Presented by Dan Markovitz, author of The Conclusion Trap Organizations (and individuals) frequently struggle to make good decisions. They spend money, invest in new technology, and invest enormous amounts of time and effort reorganizing in fruitless efforts to solve thorny problems. Why? Years of training and reinforcement in school and at work, time pressures and deadlines, and inherent psychological biases cause us to jump to conclusions before we even understand the problem we’re attempting to solve. This workshop will help you make better decisions by eliminating that tendency. You’ll learn a powerful, four-step process that ensures you will deeply understand a problem before pursuing any given solution: (1) gathering both facts and data, so you can accurately grasp the situation (2) framing the problem, so you can avoid cognitive biases (3) isolating contributing factors, so you can manage complex situations (4) finding the root cause, so you can avoid ineffective band-aids If you register for this webinar, you will be entered to win one of three copies of Dan's book.

A Great Idea Isn't Enough for Successful Change - Final
Presented by Mark Jaben, M.D., author of the book "Free the Brain"
Maybe you had expected more. Maybe it went ok, but you’d like it to go smoother. Maybe its gone well and you want to understand about how that happened for next time. Maybe you’d like change to be less of a hassle.

Change is a verb, not a noun
The fundamental unit of change
Why your belief about what’s going on is not the result of what you think.
Why conflict is what you should expect and what you actually need for successful change
The choice to resist or engage is not an analytical one, so why approach it that way.
We are not wired to resist; we are wired to succeed.
An ideal change must work AND be workable; judging each uses different functions in the brain.

1 Cycles Remote Innovation - introduction
Based on 4 years of research with over 400 companies - there are companies that succeed and companies that fail. The biggest difference between winners and losers is smart winners make good, even mediocre, ideas great over time.
This lecture introduces the ABCs of Innovation
A = Alignment
B = Build ideas
C = Communicate and Check
S = Learning Systems
And explains why a systematic application of these stages of development can help you build ideas faster while reducing the risks of failure.
3 Cycles Remote Innovation - Build
Once you know what you want to do it is time to build ideas that have a chance to deliver on your objectives. Contrary to the belief that the ability to build ideas is limited to a select few, there are tools, techniques that can help any team build better ideas.
Better problem formulation
Effectuation (looking for ideas at home with the resources you have)
Systematic search for stimulus and diversity
Techniques to continue building ideas
With these tools and techniques the process is clear, but clear does not mean easy. Removal of fear and an ongoing action focus is the “secret sauce” that can pull everything together.
Deliverable: New ideas that have a good chance of being on strategy; meaningful and unique
Problem solving techniques pdf
This document discusses problem solving techniques. It begins by defining what a "problem" is, such as when specifications are not met, processes are out of control, rejection rates are high, or delivery performance is below 100%. The document then outlines 8 steps to solve problems: 1) define the problem, 2) build a team, 3) take containment actions, 4) determine the root cause, 5) verify the root cause, 6) take corrective action, 7) implement preventive actions, and 8) congratulate the team. Each step is then explained in more detail with examples provided. Overall, the document provides an overview of a structured 8-step approach to problem solving.
8 Simple Steps To Solve Problems
This document outlines 8 steps for solving problems:
1. Define the problem clearly and understand all aspects.

3. Brainstorm as many potential solutions as possible.
4. Use positive language to think creatively.
5. Weigh the pros and cons of each option to choose the best solution.
6. Focus on implementing the solution rather than dwelling on the problem.
7. Execute the solution as planned while monitoring progress.

Gosei - to next level
The document discusses challenges that companies face as they grow, such as slower growth, losing focus, and increasing complexity. It introduces the Go&See method as a way to systematically experiment and innovate to overcome organizational habits and take the company to the next level. The key aspects of Go&See are making assumptions explicit through experimentation, validating the results, and using what is learned to continuously improve. Go&See gives employees a safe way to challenge current thinking and connect improvements to their daily work.
Coaching teams in creative problem solving
Agile has helped teams to collaborate and organize work better. That’s great. Better teamwork and better understanding of the work definitely helps a team to do right things. Agile has also lead the way toward technical practices such as Continuous Integration and Delivery, Test Driven Development and SOLID-architecture principles. Great, these things definitely help the team to do things right.
Then again, most of the time in software projects goes into problem solving and similar creative acts. Agile has relatively little to give on these areas. Currently, agile is not about creativity nor is it about problem solving.
This coaching circle session will focus on the creative core of software development: solving creatively novel, original and broad problems more effectively all the time. I will introduce some principles and tools I’ve found useful when helping people to solve hard problems and to find creative solutions.

decision making
Why two heads are no better than one,
how never to regret a decision again,
protect yourself against
hidden persuaders,
and tell when someone is lying to you
WHEN PEOPLE HAVE an important decision to make in the workplace, they often arrange to discuss the issues with a group of well-informed and levelheaded colleagues. On the face of it, that seems a reasonable plan. After all, when you’re making up your mind, it is easy to imagine that consulting people with a variety of backgrounds and expertise could provide a more considered and balanced perspective. But are several heads really better than one? Psychologists have conducted hundreds of experiments on this issue, and their findings have surprised even the most ardent supporters of group consultations.
Perhaps the best-known strand of this work was initiated in the early 1960s by MIT graduate James Stoner, who examined the important issue of risk taking.1 It will come as no great surprise that research shows that some people like to live life on the edge, while others are more risk averse. However, Stoner wondered whether people tended to make more (or less) risky decisions when they were part of a group. To find out, he devised a simple but brilliant experiment.
In the first part of his study, Stoner asked people to play the role of a life coach. Presented with various scenarios in which someone faced a dilemma, they were asked to choose which of several options offered the .

Some key points covered include crafting concise key messages, using stories and anecdotes to personalize issues, anticipating different types of questions, and emphasizing one's goals and solutions when discussing problems.
more resourceful
This document discusses moving away from traditional assumptions about education, success, and what really matters. It questions focusing so much on measurement, standardized tests, and seeing school as a business. Instead, it advocates embracing not knowing, unleashing people to do meaningful work, and defining success as how well the people around you are doing. It envisions community as school, with real-world problems as the curriculum. The overall message is that simple rules and trusting relationships within a community may better serve human spirit than the current education system.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdf
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

How to Create a Continuous Improvement Culture by Closing the GAPS
Presented by Katie Anderson
What does a culture of continuous improvement really look like? How can leaders create an organization where people have the capability and confidence to solve problems?
Effective problem-solving is about closing the gaps between where we are today and where we need to be.

In this session, you will:
Understand a leader’s role in creating a “Leading to Learn” culture of continuous improvement
Discover the four essential behaviors – G.A.P.S – that enable leaders and team members alike to cultivate more effective problem-solving capabilities

Connecting Continuous Improvement to the Bottom Line
Presented by Nick Katko
Lean is a long-term business strategy, primarily focusing on employees and learning. Through various continuous improvement practices, employees learn to master their work, solve the right problems and help an organization learn how to do things tomorrow it cannot do today.
The operational impact of continuous improvement is well known. Eliminating waste creates capacity, which can be used to serve customers better, improve productivity and improve employee satisfaction. But what about the financial impact? Oftentimes conventional financial analytical practices do not capture the true financial benefits of continuous improvement. This becomes a “problem to be solved.”
This webinar will explain how to make the true cause-effect relationships between continuous improvement and financial improvement visible throughout the organization. Integrating these relationships will improve the quality of business decision-making and leverage continuous improvement for financial success for the entire organization.
In this webinar, you will learn:
* the numbers to establish the true cause-effect relationships between continuous improvement and financial improvement.
* how to use the economics of lean to calculate the financial benefit of continuous improvement
* how continuous improvement achieves cost reduction over time
* why certain conventional financial analyses can show that continuous improvement is “not working” financially

Presented by Cliona Archambeault and Penny Iannelli of UMass Memorial Health
Join us for a panel discussion with two leaders from UMass Memorial Health (UMMH) as we discuss how they’ve created a culture of continuous improvement at UMMH that has led to more than 100,000 employee ideas being implemented!
They both work for a healthcare organization – this is true – but please keep reading (and join us!) if you work in other sectors, including manufacturing. Why? Our two panelists both worked in industry (including Intel), and they (and other UMMH leaders) are influenced by former Toyota people. We know there will be stories and lessons learned that are transferrable to other healthcare organizations – or companies in any industry – because it comes down to the three things we always talk about at KaiNexus: methodology, leadership, and technology.
We are proud that UMMH is a KaiNexus customer and that they use our technology platform to facilitate and document their work – in addition to tabulating their great results.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
