Creative flow is important to understand. Creative energy, like any other kind of energy, can be harnessed and managed. Does a research and development department create everything and rest of people just do what they’re told? Or are all employees thinking about innovation, how to reduce costs, looking at safety issues, reducing wastes, and improving environment. Are people developing skills to identify, articulate and communicate those kinds of things?

The final flow is time. Time is, of course, a factor in all other flows. Since we can’t change time, rather than looking at how time flows; we need to see how organization flows through time. How long does it take to accomplish things? Can time be reduced? By reducing time it takes to do our work, we reduce or eliminate wasted things we do. Eliminating wasted brings us closer and closer to excellence.

By observing flows in our work, we can see where things run smoothly like a tranquil river. Bottlenecks in workflow create turmoil, much like rapids in a river.

“Oh, this ol’ river keeps on rollin’, though, No matter what gets in way and which way wind does blow, And as long as it does I’ll just sit here And watch river flow.” - Bob Dylan (Watching The River Flow © 1971 by Big Sky Music)

Any process, any product, any service can be made better in some way, somehow. So observe and understand flows of your organization, it will lead to improvement opportunities.
