The Journey
Cadence
Our team completed its second 90 day plan using the Hoshin method. I am looking forward to third, which will mean that we have a cadence.
I am already in the rhythm. Now when I want to add something to the workplan, I know when to have that happen, and with the next one coming out less than 90 days from now, it’s not that much of a wait. So what I will do is do some prep work for adding something, and not spend a lot of energy trying to get it prioritized right now. Just right.
In the meantime, I will help the current plan along. I have seen people remark that they know that the team is now fully deployed for the next 90 days as well, so will join in to that process, too.
I’ve pasted this in a few messages recently, as well:
