Analysis, prioritisation and planning
We begin with a specific challenge or opportunity. We then gather knowledge about the work, examine the data and assess possible actions. The result is a prioritised plan with responsibilities and next steps.
What the work includes
A shared view of the work
We bring together data, observations and experience from the people who know the workflow.
Options assessed on the same basis
We assess possible actions by impact, effort and risk so they can be compared.
A plan with responsibilities
We set out the order, responsibilities and follow-up for the actions that are selected.
From challenge to plan
-
Define the challenge
We clarify what needs to change and who will be affected.
-
Map the workflow
We review the work and identify waiting time, duplicate work and other bottlenecks.
-
Assess the options
We compare possible actions by impact, effort and risk.
-
Make the plan
We put the selected actions in order and describe responsibilities and follow-up.
