Kanban Board

 

Progress on your goals, no matter how small, is essential for business success. It's not just about setting goals; it's about completing the tasks within those goals.

To achieve this, consider using a Kanban board—a visual tool originating from lean manufacturing, used by companies like Toyota and Lexus to optimize workflows. In this system, cards, known as "Kanban" in Japanese, signal when parts are needed, preventing bottlenecks. Applied to knowledge work, a Kanban board helps prioritize tasks by moving them from right to left, ensuring that those closest to customer value are completed first.

Visualizing work with a Kanban board clarifies what needs to be done, preventing overwhelm from unfinished tasks. The goal is to finish work, not just start it, which is key to achieving tangible results.

To work efficiently, maintain a consistent flow, and avoid taking on too many tasks at once. Like a highway, overcrowding leads to gridlock. Focus on completing a few tasks at a time to avoid diminishing your effectiveness. Resist the urge to prioritize emergencies at the expense of other tasks, as this disrupts overall workflow. The Kanban method is about finishing tasks efficiently, so prioritize and delegate effectively.
