As Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum strong enough, and I can move the world with one hand.” The leverage workshop is an approach to try different levers for a specific problem and solve the problem, identify potential or overcome challenges.<\/p>\n\n
In this context, a lever is an effective action that produces a desired response.<\/p>\n\n
Here is an example from purchasing: A supplier demands too high prices for his goods. One lever is to identify a competitor to whom I can give a portion of the sales. This pressure point leads to the fact that I can enter into negotiation with the original supplier and achieve more favorable prices with it. Thus, the lever is to build competition!<\/p>\n\n
These approaches can also be found in the private sphere. Now, when their own child is once again not listening, parents like to use levers to achieve or punish a certain behavior. Some well-known levers include banning people from watching television or grounding them.<\/p>\n\n
So what do leverage workshops look like in a business context:<\/p>\n\n
The use of the lever workshops requires three elementary building blocks:<\/p>\n\n
1. a concrete objective is necessary from the beginning (example: digital tools are used to reduce costs by 5% per year)<\/p>\n\n
2. the implementation of the workshop usually follows a superordinate structural feature (e.g. product groups, organization, processes, product groups, etc.)<\/p>\n\n
3. good information is necessary for the workshop. Individual preparation is important and so is the understanding about the methodology among the participants of the workshop.<\/p>\n\n
If these conditions are met, the use of leverage workshops is a very powerful method to identify and define concrete actions from an idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
