Idea Pursuing
Last Sunday it was pleasant weather and my family was excited to enjoy weather by visiting the Zoo near to my home.
We visited the Zoo, My daughter exclaimed! Wow, a beautiful lake in which some water-birds like ducks were swimming. Enclosure in which flying birds were kept. They ranged from sparrows, parrots to pigeons of various colors. The birds were chirping, In the next enclosure lions, leopards and tigers, whose roaring’s were deafening, Impala’s were enjoying in their Boundary. It was seemed that every living creature was enjoying the weather.
We enjoyed a lots of fun and took high tea together after returning from zoo. Daughter was narrating the visit in her own words. She questioned PAPA, I had read that Impala can jump up to 12 feet but I noticed that Impala was walking inside the boundary height of 3 feet only. I replied- , the Impala will not jump if they cannot see where their feet will fall.
It was time to sleep and I gone through received message on mobile. In mean while watching video clip of Ramayana serial in which Mantri Sumant was saying that King should plan the event time to time for his Praja to creating the Excitement and keeping Moral high.
Idea from Impala behavior and Ramayna scene was whispering that why it cannot be implementing in the company to take bold step to go beyond and incremental improvement can be left behind by breakthrough improvement by taking leap jump over barriers.
Idea Alteration in Deed
Next Day, I went to company and idea discussed to core Committees and consensus made to create the positive wave in the company . Now Question was How??
Lots of Idea Generated with if and but’s but finally management decided to hire external agency as change agent in perception to get new Problem solving approach for his employee
Agency hired and communicated to all employee that he along with us problem will be identified from your work place KPI and will guide to solve the issue.
Deep Dive and Harmony
To make team blend, Team and Project named “Uday” and now from Top to Bottom each one is part of Uday. Team created harmony in the organization and started journey in funny way for involving the all by asking the question like Tare Jamme pe (Think- Trees udsakte hai , do brain storm and tell how it can be)
Lots of idea generated that were not expected from process experts and many trial conducted and implemented as feasible.
Trainings supported to develop the capability of Plant employee to behave a change Agent for way forward.
Opportunity Realization
Incremental result jumped to Breakthrough result and Knowledge bank respiratory made with recognition of change agent in the plant team. Deploying the learning horizontally in other process area is ongoing.
