You’ve done a great job of diagnosing the problem;  you’ve identified the waste, and you’re feeling really enthusiastic about the solution you've designed.  So why not just go for it?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, Director Consultant, Dennis Crommentuijn-Marsh, encourages you not to jump from solution to implementation, but to test first, even when you think you’ve got the right solution.

Dennis explores how to approach testing the right way, as well as sharing some great stories of what not to do!
