Looking for a facilitator
principle #3
Flow is not the goal, but it is the foundation for (business) agility, energy and creativity in work today. That is why "flow is everything you need".
If you optimize for flow, you are about to create an environment in which tasks moves smoothly and efficiency, without unnecessary bottlenecks.
In order to respond to ongoing change, you want to maintain a healthy balance: dynamic processes at heart, minimizing waste, knowing what (valuable thing) to do.
Monitor the workflow to maximize the flow, highlights obstacles early in the process and adapt quickly. When you find your rhythm, you'll also find peace of mind and focus.
Lurking around the corner is the favour of speed and efficiency. This could potentially lead to a hyper focus on routines and killing genuine innovation. That is because the focus on efficiency might deprioritize creative experimentation. We have to be careful with that and give enough attention to innovation and a learning culture in that sense. However, optimizing for flow enhances productivity and reduces wasted time and resources. Through monitoring the workflow and identifying possible bottlenecks, it helps to identify process problems early and eventually leads to smoother team experiences.
