Here's the next chat between Emiel, Bob and I, digging into the deeper issues behind organisational transformation, lean and leadership.

In this episode, we are again joined by Alfredo Solarte Angulo, but this time, with those he has been helping from Fondo Accion a Non Government Organisation (NGO) focused on the Environmental, Economic and Social development of historically challenged regions of Columbia.  The Fondo Accion team have embraced lean principles and tools with more gusto than we see in a typical western manufacturing improvement initiative ... and we were intrigued to discover why.

DUX LEAN ROADMAP
Extract: 
This means strategy must be visually managed with the same discipline as 5S, Kanban or piece part presentation, "to consciously reduce assumption" as part of a ‘psychologically aware’ leadership process.

To ensure the visual management of strategy is effective and becomes a framework to guide development and the application of the ‘tools’, which improve manufacturing performance, it is essential leaders 'lead by example' in thought, word and deed.

Each objective must be broken down into chunks, that people [brains / minds], can associate to and deal with; these ‘chunks’ can then be used as a step by step plan (or ‘road-map’) for organisational development.

In essence this is nothing more than any good ‘Goal setting’ course, aware of the psychology and neuroscience behind the principle of 'Toward' and 'Away from' will explain.

However, to be successfully applied in practice, those leading must understand more than ‘WHAT’ a psychologically beneficial strategy deployment model consists of. For leaders to be truly effective, they must understand ‘HOW’ and ‘WHY’ this approach works at a deeper level.
