Initiative 4. Why this initiative rather than another?
Assumption. Choice implies renunciation.
Tool. Four key questions, ie the Will adapted from the Way Forward in the GROW model.
Imagine each stakeholder on the brakes. Our goal is that each stakeholder takes his foot off the brake and, having engaged the appropriate gear, presses on the accelerator.
The following four questions we ask each stakeholder—nota bene, indirectly most often: we try to guess the answers to the closed questions from the notes we have taken during an interview. Four "yes", then the stakeholder is ready to move on. One « No » means their foot sticks to the brake pedal.
1. A compelling reason to act? Compelling in the sense that the stakeholder fears worse if the initiative fails.
2. Has the stakeholder some means to succeed? skills, resources? Should those things come to miss, this could be solved with a trainer and a sponsor.
3. Unfortunately , everyone is busy . That new on my desk, am I able to give it priority against other incumbent duties or tasks of mine?
4. Finally, what do I get? Is it reasonable enough compared to the evils that await me?
Experimentation. Surveying stakeholders and completing the register of stakeholders with answers to those four questions.
