In the times when we all are facing a change of some kind at our workplace , we can relate with number of questions and confusion even a smallest bit of change can throw at all of us who are used to some way of standardised form of conducting our job roles.

Well this gets discussed some many times, but hardly any tangible counter-action is performed to address and mitigate or even make the change adoption easier

During my recent conversation with a group of Managers and Senior Managers at a large Supply Chain, Logistics of Mineral, Asset Management company, we faced a question, how to bring everyone on the same page every single time both before and after the changes has occurred even after the people leading the changes are gone in other words continue to achieve the great outcomes of change repeatedly and independently? 

This question is very fundamental in nature and if left un-answered can create great amount of discord amongst teams across especially in cross-functional teams scenarios.

We were quickly able to focus our thoughts on answer for the above stated question which is VSOW (Visual Standard Operating Procedures).

A great Visual Standard Operating procedure can be defined as :

A set of steps capturing the best current method that ensures that the job is conducted the same every time regardless of by who or when. while above all else maintaining SAFETY!

One of the key factors which really stands out is a good written VSOP’s ability to clearly address above questions. These questions come in various formats like How, What, Why, Where, Who, and When the job get done  

It has power to address the Waste in the business (Please check the infographic below for the 8 Business Wastes)
