Manage with Unarguable Evidence
But I asked myself, why these teachings? Why do you need unarguable evidence, and why isn’t our best guess good enough? It’s because I saw that without unarguable evidence, we will manage by
seat of our pants and just argue back and forth our subjective opinions instead of discovering what is factually true. We will never accomplish anything with certainty, and we could do
wrong thing that could set you back even further.
Measure Performance Improvement
But as with anything,
proof is in
pudding, so what are
results? In
class, I saw numerous examples proving that managing by objective evidence leads to better and higher performance. And this leads to measurable improvement of
whole system. Simple yet complex. Complex yet simple.
Conduct Your Own Audit
In a nutshell, if you’re only going to take one in
next few months to help improve your job and company, I’d highly recommend an Internal Auditor Skills Class. You will come away with
knowledge to conduct an internal audit and improve your company’s system. And, maybe more importantly, you can face your fears – and hopefully avoid Aunt Sally’s mold.
