A new tool

It’s tempting to believe that you’re just one new tool away from a process that delivers. So you keep looking, and keep investing, and keep implementing, and keep looking again. Because the tool won’t do the work. It’s the person who does that, the tool is just the helper. 

The problem is, a new tool takes work in itself; work to invest, work to implement and work to use – and if we weren’t doing well in the first place, what makes us think that adding to the workload will result in a quick win? Most likely, it won’t.

Best place to start is with what you already know and the tools you have to hand. Encouraging your team to use them, to get skilled with them, to listen to their feedback, to do what you and they know to do. Just better.
