Rapid Idea Improvement
By Bart VanderhaegenBusiness
Rapid Idea Improvement episodes
- Episode 137 - A critique of the Lencioni pyramid in teamwork
The natural state of any relationship is that fact that ideas differ. That is not “a shame” … or a proof that there is distrust. It is just the natural starting position. If it were a proof of distrust, then the first step would indeed have to be to start developing trust
Instead, trust emerges, but is not a methodological primary step to achieve
The moral process and the knowledge creation process run in parallel.
- Moral: being open, not lying, not being opportunistic, listening ….
- Knowledge creation : the correction of errors on both sides
7 min - Episode 136 - A criticism of and alternative to the DMAIC method in continuous improvement
DMAIC:
- Define the problem (Set the goal, ...)
- Measure the problem (AS IS, ...)
- Analyse (Root cause analysis, ...)
- Implement (Find solutions test and implement)
- Control (Monitor and sustain improvements, ...)
Popper’s method:
- Problem definition ( "What to do next ?" Given the ... Root cause analysis, AS-IS / TO-BE, ...)
- Tentative Solution (Tentative answer to the what to do next question, i.e. a guess for what to do to solve the problem)
- Error-correction (Using not only data but also argument)
- New Problem
15 min - Episode 135 - Problem solving methods: the crucial ingredient they don’t mention
Illustrating what methods don't mention via the DMAIC problem solving method
11 min - Episode 134 - Two radically different approaches to problem solving
Comparing the Popperian method to problem solving to it's alternative
12 min - Episode 133 - The problem with ESG as a vehicle for moral progress in companies
Thoughts on why I think ESG is not a good vehicle for moral progress in companies
13 min - Episode 132 - How I got into Austrian Economics
Some thoughts on why and how I took up an interest in Austrian Economics
20 min - Episode 131 - A new brainstorming format and procedure
- Start from a problem (incl. scope, conditions for good solutions, …)
- Generate ideas with idea owners
- Separate session on criticism in group (NOT adaptations)
- Idea owner’s free choice to adapt idea or not
13 min - Episode 130 - Management, just like science, is "explanation based", and not "evidence based"
Knowledge creation is "evidence based" when it starts from evidence, and "explanation based" when it starts from a problem and a (guessed) explanation for how to solve it
17 min - Episode 129 - Why all plans are wrong and why that is a positive thing
All plans are wrong for 2 main categories of reasons
- The goal is wrong: What you really get when you execute the steps may not correspond to the stated goal. Or the goal conflicts with another goal you want to achieve
- The steps are wrong: you need different steps to achieve the goal you said to achieve
There are 2 ways to deal with this:
- The bad way: seeking positive arguments
- The good way: seeking criticisms and improve the plan
12 min - Episode 128 - Two opposite conceptions about what science is: the inductive method versus Karl Popper's explanation
Covering two opposite conceptions about what science is: the inductive method versus Popper's method
Also briefly covering what the relevance of this is to all our "other" types of knowledge (e.g. sociological, political, moral, ...)
