Hi Nelson, I 1000% agree with this perspective. Something that shocked me many years ago, when I started working at World Vision, was how many of the projects or initiatives ended in recommendations. To me, this idea was the opposite to Continuous Improvement; applying is where the real knowledge is created, and I also think that transferring that knowledge is important.

Remember to be patient, what you are learning will still be very high level, I am glad you are thinking deeper. Regarding your point, I remember an old lean six sigma quote, which should go very well here at World Vision: In God we trust anybody else must bring data – Edwin R. Fisher in 1978 (jajaja). I know this will come with time and maturity, but I think it is possible to imagine that more and more we based our discussions and decisions on data.

Love seeing you debating about this topic, keep up the good work.

Great mind provoking start off reflection question @Christian. What comes in your mind about the relationship between these two variables of time and knowledge with and organization setting? What if we say there is indeed both positive and negative correlation between these two variables. What would be our views?

3. Combining two strategies for overall organizational process improvement.
adaptability to tech/environmental changes! Competent staff delivering good performance! Organization growth / profits / reputation /trust / stability

Know better – should be thorough in analysis with pauses to learn and digest pros/cons
Do Better – identify what you should stop doing/continue doing or differently/start doing
Be Better – Cascade attitude / approach / Findings to your team / colleagues …individual work processes may be different but fundamental approach can bring the required sync for overall continuous improvement.
