Focus• Focus teams on projects with biggest € impact
• Become more disciplined & kill no value added initiatives
Secure Priorities
• If a new idea comes up & is to write-off current priorities this has to be clearly shown & communicated
• Avoid changing priorities once development has started : invested time is lost & generates costly side-effects
Secure Sign-Off• Give the teams sufficient time to prepare initiatives
• Decide clearly for initiatives sign-off level required (team, local management, MD, Group)
Data Driven Decisions • Yes for gut feelings & opinions…but we need to measure, measure, measure
