This PPT slide, part of the 181-slide The A3 Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation, contrasts 2 types of performance issues: "Change-Induced" and "Day-One-Deviation." On the left side, the "Change-Induced" problem is illustrated. It shows a scenario where performance metrics that were once met have deteriorated due to some change. The graph indicates that the actual performance has deviated from the expected performance, which is represented by a dashed line. This situation arises when a process that previously functioned effectively has been altered, leading to a decline in performance.
On the right side, the "Day-One-Deviation" problem is depicted. This graph highlights a situation where the necessary conditions for achieving the expected performance never existed from the outset. The performance remains stagnant, indicating that the expected performance level was not achievable from the beginning. This distinction is crucial for organizations to understand as it impacts how they approach problem-solving.
The text below the graphs clarifies these concepts. It emphasizes that a "Change-Induced" problem occurs when there is a clear historical performance baseline that has been disrupted. In contrast, a "Day-One-Deviation" indicates a fundamental issue with the initial setup or expectations.
Understanding these differences is vital for executives aiming to address performance issues effectively. It guides them in diagnosing the root causes of performance gaps and informs the strategies they should implement to rectify these issues. This slide serves as a foundational tool for leaders looking to enhance operational efficiency and drive performance improvement initiatives.
This slide is part of the The A3 Problem Solving Process & Tools PowerPoint presentation.
Developed by a Senior Executive and Operational Excellence Coach with experience at organizations including NOKIA, MICROVENTION, and MAGELLAN, this is a presentation and supporting templates to teach the A3 Problem Solving Process.
