The diagram ‘Lead Monitor – without the “Open” input field’ shows a simplified version of the Lead Monitor for managing organisational and leadership issues. As with the standard model, ideas and changes go through several phases: opportunities, preparation, development, evaluation and completion. Issues are taken on independently according to the pull principle and dealt with step by step.
The key difference lies in the omission of the ‘Open’ field, which is used to hold larger projects. As a result, the board contains only topics that can be addressed immediately. This streamlined version is particularly suitable for teams that are already adept at breaking complex projects down into small, actionable steps. At the same time, the focus remains consistently on the current workflow, without long-term projects overloading the board. The advantages include reduced administrative effort, a clearer process and a stronger focus on navigating on a day-to-day basis. After each completed step, the team decides anew how to proceed, rather than following a long-term plan. The simplified board is therefore particularly suitable for experienced teams who wish to manage their organisational development with as little administrative effort as possible.
