FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between efficiency and effectiveness?
Effectiveness is doing things right to reach a desired outcome. Efficiency is doing things right with minimum effort.
Effectiveness is the answer to the question, “Which actions contribute to a defined goal or desired result?” The greater the contribution of the action, the greater its effectiveness.
Efficiency plays a role once it has become clear what action is to be taken. It is the answer to the question, “Is this the right action in terms of effort, time, energy or resources?” If this is the case, efficiency gains can still be achieved.
What’s the benefit of working step by step rather than doing the whole transformation all at once?
When classical change initiatives are “measured,” various studies conclude that their failure rate is about 70%. They fail in regards to time frame, budget and/or technical, business, and human objectives.
These classical approaches mistake transitions for transformations (see FAQ question above). They try to reach broad objectives with one straight, targeted process. This rarely works, because frame conditions (e.g. the planned availability of those involved) can change over time and human nature only allows us to accept changes introduced in small steps.
On the other hand, small changes are the norm in every company. With these, a company develops continuously, consciously, and at its appropriate speed. Working step by step doesn’t lead to resistance. It helps introduce small, helpful improvements that ultimately make a big difference.
