Ask What, then Why?
• Anyone can look around, good observations require skill
• What are the targets? Why are they important? Do people understand the ‘why’?
• Why is performance less than desired?• Why is there backtracking, rework….?• What is inhibiting progress?
Questions like the above move you toward becoming a process thinker
