This is a great exercise to do with your team. Tell your team, “Let’s list the stupid stuff we are doing.” You will get a rousing discussion and a lot of ideas for things you can stop and improve. Make sure you do this at least once a year. Go through your key programs and brainstorm on the stupid stuff you should stop doing and how you can improve so you can deliver a better result with less work or less money. You’ll be surprised at how many ideas you can come up with that don’t cost anything.
