Segment 6(17) – Implementation Now (Today would be fine)

[Paul Terlemezian]

During Georgia LEARNS 2015 Segment 11 Sunil Narang asked us to think about simplification.

His question reminded me of the Boston Consulting Group TED Talk - Smart Simplicity.

Simplicity was emphasized in Georgia LEARNS 2016 - and while easy to articulate (simplify) it is not necessarily easy to implement.

The six rules of Smart Simplicity form a component of the Accountable Learning Organization model that are used to help us collaborate for speed of implementation - while improving quality and flexibility.

Each panelist will be asked to respond to how "Smart Simplicity" relates to their application of the Accountable Learning Model to a current problem (one of the 10 defined on 2016 or a different one of their choice.)

Here is a link to help you learn about the six rules - https://georgialearnsnow.ning.com/video/yves-morieux-as-work-gets-m....

Here is a more recent video - much more highly produced - and ironically - much more structure and process oriented! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNsMHIPAiw4&feature=youtu.be

Looking forward to the discussion! It is all about gaining kowledge. Regardless of where you are in your framework, MOVE to a better vantage point! Don’t overwork it, just make sure what you invest is worth what you will learn.

[Teri Williamson]

I believe people worry about win/loss ratios. Mine is actually pretty low. I try A LOT of things that do not work. However, when I LOSE, I lose small. When I WIN, I win BIG. So, I worry much more about PROFIT/LOSS.

I am not afraid to invest small to answer a question or to disprove a hypothesis (that is the scientific method, right?). I just won’t bet the farm without reducing uncertainty. It requires framing the right problem, managing a network, trying things that may be wrong to pivot to profitability.

It NEVER means stalling. Standing still is the death of innovation. Your competitors are certainly moving - racing - past you. You will cease to exist.

Wisdom!
