I gave up best practice a while ago. Switched to “proven practices.” It's too easy to say something you are doing that is working is best practice as if it will work for every. Proven practice means it's backed by more than one person's opinion. You have data and so do others. I also like the author’s suggestion of “promising practices,” for innovations that are gaining proof that they work, or work for some. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/eKA57PgK

How do Shared Service Center (#SSC) & Global Business Services (#GBS) kickstart a process improvement culture that focuses on empowering team members to challenge inefficiencies, and implement ideas in the organization's continuous improvement journey?    That's where having a Process Improvement #Ideathon Program which provides a structured team approach to transition idea into actionable outcomes is critical to enable tangible results.    If you're planning to run your own structured process improvement program, let me share one key area to consider;   ✅The starting point is never about process improvement tools such as root cause analysis, 8 Waste, or even using ECRS (eliminate, combine, rearrange, simplify).     ✅It's about setting the right problem solving mindset from the start.    In this case, it's helping participants to understand their personal biasness that impact how one views a problem; 👉 Confirmation Bias: "I believe that option 1 is correct, therefore I pick data that supports option 1." This bias leads individuals to favor information that confirms their preconceptions, disregarding evidence to the contrary 👉 The Trap of Past Failures: "It's been tried before; hence, it can't work." This mindset stifles innovation by assuming that past outcomes will always predict future results, ignoring the potential for different approaches or conditions to change the outcome 👉Status Quo Bias: "This is how we've always done it." Participants may resist change simply because it feels safer or more comfortable to stick with familiar methods, even when those methods are inefficient or outdated    Most groundbreaking solutions often emerge from the collective wisdom of individuals united by a common purpose.    Shaping the right mindset = more opportunities = bigger impact! #hr #humanresources

In a rapidly evolving world, best practices may no longer be enough.

Another clear presentation Glenn Marvin. This is also useful for established teams and managers to get clear on process, ownership and stakeholders.

Some of the greatest achievements come from breaking with tradition and doing things differently. Here’s some ideas on how you can find new and better ways to deliver your services and so stand out from the crowd: Reduce Production Costs: Automate tasks, outsource non-core activities and use data analytics to eliminate inefficiencies. Reduce Time to Produce: Adopt agile methodologies, implement time-saving tech and optimize workflows. Reduce Steps Involved: Simplify processes, integrate systems, and train staff for multi-tasking. Standardize or Package Services: Develop service bundles, create templates, and offer subscription models. Remove or Transfer Client Risks: Provide guarantees and offer transparent pricing options. Develop New Services: Invest in research and collaborate with clients to monitor emerging technologies that can assist. Spot Industry Trends: Conduct market research, attend industry conferences, and stay updated on trend changes and how they affect opinion and action. Track Social or Political Trends: Analyze demographic shifts, monitor changes in consumer/staff behaviour and adapt to new societal values. Challenge Accepted Wisdom: Foster a culture of innovation, question traditional assumptions and test new ideas. The best opportunities come from doing things differently, and better, before you’re forced to. Get ahead of your competitors and ensure your services remain relevant and exciting.
