Here's a way to help clients and their employees take action... and it's
based on a simple set of principles.
Create the "form" or the template for your clients staff
to use. Here are a couple of examples:
1. Say you want to reduce rejects in a plant. Create a model
form for managers and employees that in its simplest form
would say "I recommend the following three approaches to
reducing rejects. 1,2,3." You could modify it and add some
columns, e.g. Cost Estimated; Reduction Anticipated; Savings
Resulting.
2. Say you want to increase profitability. Create a model
form for managers saying "My department can reduce expenses
as follows (provide a listing) and can increase revenues as
follows (allow for increasing expenditures to increase sales).
Tip: By taking the initiative for stimulating the action in the form of a template that managers and staff
can use, you a) shorten the time and providing the vehicle for action, and b) create an environment of either contributing
or competing to help the organization or department.
