Decentralised Decision-Making

Influencing Behaviour. Secondary Factor.

Overview

Delivering value in the shortest sustainable lead time requires decentralised decision-making. It is a key tenet of Lean thinking. Any decision that must be escalated to higher levels of authority introduces a delay. Also, escalated decisions can decrease quality due to the lack of local context, plus changes to the facts on which they were based that occur during the waiting period.

Management 3.0

Decentralising decisions isn’t black and white, all or nothing. Depending on teams’ maturity and trust, leaders should consider establishing guardrails for what decisions teams can make themselves and what needs to be escalated and centralised to management.
