A major challenge for every leader and every team is to get the answer to these two critical questions correct: What performance? What improvement?
In the vast sea of things that could be improved on, these two questions are hard to answer. Complicate this with a few other challenges, like how to scope the project, where to find the time, do we have the expertise (both technical and project management), and on and on.
In multiple studies, a familiar idea appears to surface: Approximately 70 percent of projects are not completed on the first try. Of those projects that get a second try, just over 40 percent reach the promised payback that justified doing the project in the first place.
Another common pitfall is highlighted in Peter Drucker’s quote, “Nothing is less productive than to make more productive that which is not needed at all.”
