Regardless of the organizational role or authority, everyone has authority, even if it is limited to the personal direction. Everyone should plan – and everyone should contribute to improvements, even if they do not lead them.

Main Topics

When several people are involved in business activities, coordination and cooperation is crucial.

Since companies are usually organized hierarchically, the direction is often given from top to bottom. As long as the goals and activities of different groups are not planned and coordinated, it is unlikely that the desired result will be achieved. Even if they are achieved, poor coordination usually leads to failures, restarts and rework.

Thorough planning creates a common understanding of how the work is organised and managed so that those involved understand their roles and can coordinate and work together efficiently and effectively.

In the end, improvement is a critical component of any successful organization. Identifying and acting on improvement opportunities ensures organizational growth and success in the longer term.
