Importance of Evaluation in Sustaining Momentum
Evaluation plays a crucial role in creating and sustaining momentum within an organization. The sense of energy and progress created by momentum can be maintained through continuous improvement. Orchestration, evaluation, and innovation form the trifecta of sustaining momentum, ensuring that the organization stays ahead of competition by focusing on what is new, improved, and constantly improving.
Feedback Loop for Critical Improvement
Leaders need to establish short feedback loops for critical events that are essential to maintaining momentum. By identifying and measuring critical environments and fostering prompt evaluation, organizations can ensure that they remain closely connected to what drives their success. Real-time feedback on critical events prevents delays in responding to issues, enabling continuous improvement and momentum preservation.
Rewarding Key Behaviors for Momentum
Rewarding behaviors that align with maintaining momentum, such as innovation, cost savings, and efficiency, is vital for the sustained success of an organization. Recognizing and reinforcing actions that reduce friction and complexity while encouraging creative solutions help propel momentum forward. By conducting post-success evaluations and emphasizing fearless feedback within teams, organizations can ensure ongoing improvement and growth.
Rigorous and ongoing evaluation is the main ingredient in creating an organization that is constantly improving. In this REVERB episode, we dive deeper into last week's episode Gaining and Sustaining Momentum, and discuss the role evaluation plays and practical ways to implement evaluation in your organization.
