The Big Dilemma: Should I wait for more data or should I Start? Everyone faces this question regularly.
Too many times we wait before taking action. We’d like to gather:
More data,
Right time, and the
Best situation to implement.
If you discuss a kaizen with your team member most probably they will say the above things which delays the implementation.
However, Reality is Different.
When we take action, we start getting real data, right time will arrive and perfect situation gets created.
Not the other way around.
Most of the ideas do not get started as people wait for more data, right time and perfect situation.
Remember Mark Twain’s words: Continuous Improvement is better than Delayed Perfection
