And so if I know that I want to be doing something different, and something better two years from now, I need to start. What's the groundwork that I need to lay now, so that I can measure the effectiveness of the experiment? So we've got an improvement experiment we're going to do, how am I going to assess if that is working well? And in putting that framework together, I don't want to be the sole source of coming up with the framework. I want to bounce this idea off of different levels of people within my team, if I'm just running a team, or in an organization at different levels of the organization, and bouncing that across my peers. And then I would be sharing it. If I was the CEO, I would be sharing what we're doing with other CEOs, especially those that I respect, and saying, here's how we're thinking about going about this, you know, do you have any other thoughts or things we should be thinking? So right from the get go, I'm trying to change my perspective of what's the best way for us to be able to, you know, to go about doing this? Just one addition to that, if I'm the assigned improvement resource with within the organization; which many people like to give to somebody and make it their specialty. So I've got the continuous improvement staff, I wouldn't only be thinking about what do we need to be doing to do the improvement thing, because that's kind of the job. But I would be thinking, what are actions can I take as a as a CI leader, that that's going to better engage my leadership team, and get them more actively involved with what is going-on. Links Brad is proud to support many Australian businesses.
