How do I improve Transparency?

 

Opening Question: How much faith do you have in your programme reports?

or: How much faith do you have in your data for strategic decisions?

 

Elevator pitch:

“Shared information promotes accuracy, responsibility and performance”

“Transparent data Reflects Reality”:

• Problems are surfaced early, prompting early action
• Measure what is actually done and still to do
• Drives discipline in your teams – there is nowhere to hide!

“Transparency leads to Better Planning”:

• Forecasts are based on the latest, real performance
• Short iterations mean data is updated frequently, leading to better forecasts

How to do it now?

• Whiteboards in public places
• online reports, intranet
• posters, meetings
