Making the greatest difference to work

Time and effort is needed to fix problems caused by not knowing or forgetting what needs to be done. The most important requirement was to match the way people want to work, because everyone wants to do a great job – you just need to make it easy for them to do it.

After years of research and hands-on experience, I have been asked what can make the greatest difference to work with the least amount of effort. I believe that solving the following three challenges will make the greatest difference:

• To make it simple and fast to plan, and to keep the plan up to date; so everyone knows what needs to happen and what they need to do

• To ensure that everyone’s ToDo list matches the plans and are synchronized with other people’s ToDo lists; so everyone remembers what they need to do to keep work flowing

• To keep everyone informed; so they know what is happening in their plans and they can keep their work flowing productively.

If these challenges are not met, a lot of time and effort is wasted in meetings and other communications trying to work out what needs to be done and what is actually happening. Then more time and effort is needed to fix problems caused by not knowing or forgetting what needs to be done. This degrades relationships and leads to the stress, mistrust, and low productivity often experienced today.

The solution I found and validated was:
• an easy and fast way to plan and keep plans updated,
• an automated ToDo list for everyone (so they know what to do and don’t forget), and
• real-time feedback (so everyone is kept informed about what is happening)

The most important requirement was to match the way people want to work, because everyone wants to do a great job – you just need to make it easy for them to do it.

As I found many years ago, each task is not complex. Complexity occurs when you try to do a number of tasks at the same time – that is, the real world. Fortunately technology is good at handling complexity, so managers and people only need to handle simple plans.
Big plans (like projects or strategies) are just a lot of simple plans joined together feeding ToDo lists. Purpose designed software accessed on web and mobile browsers make the solution easy to apply globally, 24x7, with minimum training.
