A very large part of professional services work or effort is the result of failure demand.
There are two types of demand on our time:
1. demand for our value-added services and
2. demand that arises from processes that don't result in the expected outcomes.
When we don't get expected outcomes, then some rework, as well as superfluous supporting efforts, are needed. Reducing the wasted efforts of failure demand makes a firm more profitable, nimble, and engages the team. Along with the way, people become better problem finders and learners, amping up client satisfaction.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will learn the magnitude and impacts of ever-present failure demand
- Participants will learn to spot failure demand
- Participants will learn the two types of value-adding work and the three types of waste
- Participants will learn the four process sources of failure demand
