Not sure now. • + Did not fully understand Cindy’s area • + A lot of issues are similar across CNP • + Went deeper that I thought we would • + Structured flowchart helped • + Categories helped: Issue, Solution, etc • - More issues than I thought • + Seeing the process from A-Z was good • +This does not just apply to Daily FT • - Not a lot of quick hits... Need Tariff changes and systems fixes • - Expected more solutions & more creativity We now have 16 people who understand the Daily Firm business from end to end
Project Discoveries:Value of Intangibles II • Understand need for vision vs. staying stuck in the issues • Time allocated to new ideas vs. the issues analysis • Afternoon session tough to keep excited after a busy day • Too much time between sessions – anxious to get started • Helpful to go through the issues – though it took a long time • Focused on issues • Issues and solutions now coming together • Structure is good. Determined all of the issues then the solutions. • Learned a lot about the entire process • When the whole process is put together, we are able to see it and find solutions • Things moved faster today • We moved beyond the current state • Narrowed down the problems and solutions
