Start the conversation with your team and take the initiative to be a part of our success. Use the getAbstract “Upstream” to get started.
STEP 2
Schedule a team meeting to discuss the questions.
STEP 3
Have a discussion with your team or reflect on the questions.
Discussion Questions:
How can we identify problem blindness within our organization, and what steps can we take to overcome it?
How can we balance the need for immediate problem-solving with the need for long-term preventive strategies?
Discuss a situation where you or your team could have benefited from an upstream approach. What would you do differently now?
What are some potential barriers to implementing upstream solutions, and how can we overcome them?
What role do leaders play in fostering an upstream mindset within their teams and organizations?
Take away:
In the realm of problem-solving, the journey upstream represents a proactive quest to address issues at their source. This “upstream” approach invites a shift from reactive quick fixes to strategic, forward-thinking solutions.
