You know, if you do it traditional (how it usually was taught), it takes a long time for a team to form (come together), storm (fight each other a little bit), normalize their behavior (so they get productive).<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Well, I found that that takes too long. I can&#8217;t get to results that way. What I discovered was if I could do the analysis and figure out how to pinpoint where the problem would be, then I can figure out who ought to be on that team to solve that problem. Once I do that, guess what? I can bring those people in, I can tell them the story using the data and get them to the point where they can see where the problem is. Then we can do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/lean-six-sigma-articles\/root-cause-analysis-with-fishbones\/\">root cause analysis<\/a> and they do a little storming (that&#8217;s okay). Then we can come up with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/quality-tools\/countermeasures\/\">countermeasures<\/a> and we can implement it. I skip people all the way over to perform by doing the data analysis up front.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Now this sounds a little foreign, but I don&#8217;t think teams should be together for weeks at a time or months or\u2026 you know, some of these things take too dang long, right? Because they&#8217;re only meeting one day a week or for an hour or two, something stupid, right? No! Let&#8217;s get together in one day and solve the problem, right?<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;So that&#8217;s my Improvement Insight for this week: Skip over all those introductory steps. Take some data, slam them right in to perform root cause analysis and countermeasures. Get on with it.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go out and improve something today.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traditional Form-Storm-Norm-Perform models of team development take too long.
