A Better Way to.....
Improve through experimentation & feedback from all Customers; Internal and External
We don't always win, we don't always hit our goals, we don't always go as fast as we want, and we certainly have to deal with the unexpected. This is the reality of business and, indeed, life in general. It's your choice as to how you respond and the benefits that you can take in helping to Improve that separates those that succeed in the long term.
We've experienced it; therefore we get it, so to empathise but also help, here are the key Challenges we've faced, but also some of the Solutions that we believe as key in looking towards A Better Way
Challenges
Here are some of the Challenges that provide headwinds along with the "typical narrative" that you might be hearing from within your organisation.
01
Shifting Priorities
"We are constantly needing to deal with the business changing their mind on priorities or being thrown the next big thing"
03
Slow Pace of Delivery
"Whether locked into their technical or business area, we struggle with having our team members truly understand the 'bigger picture'"
02
Slow Response to Customer Feedback
"We've lost important customers despite then giving us feedback"
04
Limited Team Engagement
"It doesn't matter what we do, our staff seem to be disconnected and not wanting to commit 100% to our projects"
Solutions
1 / Embrace Iterative Delivery
Iterative delivery is the perfect solution for locking down changes to shorter cycles. With the ability to adapt quickly to priority shifts, you can confidently focus on finishing your current work without any hassle. Trust us, it's a game-changer!
2 / Product Manager as your VOC
By appointing a Product Manager as the decision maker, and to be the voice of the Customer, Customer Feedback is more likely to be prioritised.
3 / Embrace Expermentation
Any attempt to try a new way of doing things may just hold the key to a better way, and worst case you've found another thing not to do. Experimentation must be adopted as a positive, not a negative.
4 / Run meaningful Retrospectives
Retrospectives allow staff a safe place to provide their feedback and contribute to ongoing success.
