It is no secret that at this time of the year, businesstravel and corporate chauffeur work is much quieter than normal. As some
factories shut for maintenance; school holidays take effect and people take a break, our
work reduces.
The last week has been fantastic. I managed to watch educational
TV programmes; read a whole load of trade magazines; delete a few hundred old emails
and clear a stack of paperwork. I’ve even managed to fit in some cycling
again too.
As I have finally managed to do things which have been outstanding for so long, I have also
been reflecting on where my time actually goes on a normal week. As a result
I’m questioning if everything I do actually adds value?
Maybe it is time to apply some lean principles? Maybe I
should identify which tasks add value and for all the areas that don’t, they
should be treated as waste and eliminated. Then maybe I could start to add even
more value to DrivenByQ?
