How Much Of The Value You Could Create Don't You Want?

White_walls

I like working on large walls.

Asking questions – drawing out thoughts – teams of people

Together – creating, curating – conceiving new ideas

It's an inspiring and privileged thing to do

We get to really see with our eyes the opportunity we have – the value we can create

Too often it doesn't get realised

Is it the people – or the 'habits' we build around us

Processes and systems that don't change?

So why don't these change?

Why don't we get rid of these millstones around our necks?

Walls

I like working on large walls

We agree the current habits are wrong because we can see them

We know they don't help because they just don't

We can see a new way ahead and these things will restrain us

What is stopping us then?

How much of this value won't we achieve?

Is it the leadership? Is it the behaviour?

Is it just us? It is all too hard – too much invested in the wrong place

There's not enough time – too much risk – "not on my watch"

Is it courage? Is it belief?

Wallers

I like working on large walls

It makes us understand what is required

It gets us engaged with the right stuff

It enables us to think, create real meaning

It causes new ideas that we can execute on

It illustrates all the connections that integrates the team

It changes behaviour by showing us new value

It aligns a team because they created it

It creates the new direction that is shared and owned

So how much of the value you could create don't you want?
