When it comes to solving problems in your business, what is the most effective and resourceful way to do it? Well, if you are the boss, the owner, all you have to do is say what you want. Your choice is final and everybody has to do what you say. But are you sure that the decision you made is the best possible answer to your circumstance? Is the answerconclusion that you came up with what will resolve the situation or just postpone the unavoidable? Is only receiving the opinion or contribution from one colleague the very best way to go about solving a problem or is it better to get a opinion and ideas from multiple individuals? Of course, a problem can better be dissected and identified with diverse people working on it. When various views and different perspectives are looked through, the simpler it is to come up with new ideas. The collective comprehension and worldview and experience of many different colleagues is much wider and much more mixed than if it is limited to just a single person. That individual may have a great deal of practice and be very well informed, but when you gain access to many brains and lots of ideas, you are nearly always more likely to get a favorable result.
This grouping of individuals, this panel that you are going to put together will need some aid getting started. Who is best to put on your team? It is always going to be a little different and for each situation you may want to have another team leader. You want your leader to be someone that everybody can get behind and that everybody respects. You also require them to be experienced about what they are working with and if they are valued and liked by the rest of the members, then more than likely they are all of the above. This team is going to be responsible for a large undertaking and they will be looked at to resolve the situation and do it as resourcefully and cost effective as possible. You will want somebody on the team that has practice working with these types of teams and has familiarity with groups and lean manufacturing in general. You will also need team members that are mixed in their job positions and are up and down the chain of command. You do not want a group that is merely comprised of upper management or only employees on the floor. If you do this, then you will not get the thoughts and the varying perspectives that you need. The more viewpoints that you entertain, the more chance that you will get an idea or perspective that you weren’t expecting and that might be original to everybody on the team. The ideas that come from a group can often be a combination of ideas that come from the entire group. Often, the final product is a combination of all of the ideas that has come before it, but fleshes out the thoughts more completely.
