Description

In traditional management, the emphasis lies on overseeing individuals, monitoring their activities, and frequently reassigning them, all with the aim of optimising their utilisation. However, it's widely recognized that mere busyness doesn't necessarily translate to increased productivity.




In this episode, Soma and Orod delve into a pivotal principle of the Kanban Method: 'Manage the work; let people organize around it.' This principle directs attention towards the work itself, spanning from initial customer demand to its fulfillment. By concentrating on the work and closely monitoring its progress, teams can identify bottlenecks, root causes of delays, and devise strategies to facilitate smoother workflow.
