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?
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?
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?
