Book Summary - The Checklist Manifesto

11/23/2014

0 Comments

 
We all use lists in some form or another to help us organize our daily tasks.  But according to Atul Gawande, the author of The Checklist Manifesto, it’s the checklist that can have a great impact on really important tasks. Gawande shows how powerful well-designed and properly implemented checklists can be in achieving success.  He explains how the aviation industry has been using checklists for decades to simplify crucial tasks and ensure the safety of their passengers.

In an effort to reduce the amount of fatal and non-fatal errors that occur in operating rooms around the county, Gawande followed the checklist development process used by the aviation industry to create checklists for use in operating rooms. These checklists have helped to significantly reduce the amount of errors that can commonly occur during surgical procedures. 

While your business may not be making life and death decisions, like the aviation and medical fields, checklists can be a useful tool for any type of business. They ensure consistency, reduce errors, streamline processes, reduce costs and can also serve as a basis for training.  Checklists are great for boiling processes or procedures down to the most critical components. Check out The Checklist Manifesto and ponder how checklists can help your business run smoother and  more efficiently, improve employee performance, improve your business processes and make your  business profitable.
