352-Blowin' In The Wind

As Care Crowd members have learned, in the effort to ‘make things better’, it is true that teaming makes it easier. That said, when a new change arises that will require an altered direction/process/etc in an organization, possibly requiring new ways of doing things, where is a newly formed team supposed to get answers or ideas? As Mr. Dylan said, the answer is blown’ in the wind. When building a solution with a team, it is crucial to get key information injected as quickly as possible up front so the team can factor this information into scope/ideas/timelines and so forth. Springing key info at the last minute is a sure way to induce paralysis, panic and uncertainty into a team that is then expected to be creative on the spot with no/little time to fully develop a solution and chunk out its implementation plan. When trying to pluck those ideas from the breeze, be sure you take time and information into account as the wind can sometimes be fickle or unpredictable and catching those butterflies may be more difficult than anticipated.
