Session 5 Prework: Establishing the Next Target Condition
In this Lesson
Establishing the Target Condition is how we break down a challenge into a manageable chunk. It should be a “strive” and take several experiments to achieve.
A Target Condition has:
An achieve-by date
A target outcome & process metric
A desired operating pattern
Assignment: Your turn! Create your own Target Condition
Use the end date of this class for the Target Condition date
Where do you want (or need) your outcome metric to be? Process metric?
What operating pattern do you need from this process to get there?
Note: Target Condition & Targets are not synonymous. A Target Condition is the way we want our process to operate - a new pattern of work. A Target is typically a business objective or KPI.
