- In episode 22 of The Visible Workplace, Dr Tom Rolley celebrates a new surfboard acquisition!
- He then moves to solving work inefficiencies using Magic Boards.
- Annabel has been dealing with an inefficient template, and Tom discusses how clear improvements in the workflow can be made using the MagicBoard Method.
- By making the steps visible in work processes, a tedious copy-paste task can be optimised at multiple levels - first to get the task done most effectively and then at a higher level using asset thinking to improve the process further.
- What was a 3-hour process has been reduced to 60 minutes or even 10 minutes or less with the improvements in workflow.
- While this saves money for the business, perhaps more importantly, it reduces team member frustration than being forced to do inefficient and unrewarding work.
- In a workforce with low unemployment, refusing to improve poorly optimised work is a risk for good people moving to better workplaces!
