Use Hypotheses | Measure Outcomes | Pivot when needed |
|---|---|---|
Use hypotheses to guide change, not assumptions.. | Measure outcomes—not just activity. | Pivot when needed: even “failed” experiments generate insight. |
Practices you can start to apply tomorrow
Step | Action items |
|---|---|
Define Value Early | At the start of any change, write down the expected customer or business outcome. This acts as a north star. |
Eliminate Waste | Encourage teams to identify steps in their processes that don’t add value (redundant approvals, waiting times, rework) and target these for change. |
Customer Voice | Include feedback from end-users or stakholders when scoping changes. Their input helps validate that what you consider “value” truly matters to them. |
Link to Metrics | Tie each change to a value metric (e.g. load time improvement, error rate reduction, user satisfaction score) so you can measure if value was actually delivered |
