The number 1️⃣ mistake teams make, when optimizing a process, is doing slides. Lots of them. Which nobody reads eventually.

Operational excellence isn't just about efficient processes. It's much more. What is the key?
It's effective stakeholder management. To put this simple: involve everyone that is impacted across all teams. You miss this, and even the greatest processes will fail. Your slides too 📉. How to avoid it?
Instead of:
❌ Meticulous planning of the process flow.
❌ Focusing on who did what vs. should do what.
❌ Plan - review - sign-off - all alone, no alignment.
Do this:
✅ Small process steps verified by diverse feedback.
✅ Focusing on who is impacted how they feel.
✅ Early involvement and check-in with them.
Your mantra to remember: regular communication. Understand everyone's needs. Be always ready to compromise. Manage expectations and relationships well. Celebrate successes. Combine operational discipline with a good human touch of listening👭.
Stop doing slides and start talking to team members that are impacted. Listen well, adjust your thinking frequently. Your processes will get better.
Most importantly: watch your team's happiness / business skyrocket. 🚀
