“We’re great problem solvers”
OK, but
what does
that mean?
“Fire Fighting”
“Fire Prevention”
Organizational “Fires”
• Employee gets injured
• Patient gets wrong medication
• Product launch is botched
• Angry customer is lost
• Key employee gets frustrated and quits
Don’t keep
fighting the same
fires
Put preventive
measures in place!
How We Put Fires Out Matters
1. Put the fire out (or at least contain it)
2. Understand the root cause
3. Put preventive measures in place, so you
don’t keep fighting the same fire
Let’s Be More Effective
Firefighting

Marc St. Yves
Oklahoma City Thunder vice president of logistics and engagement
His Mantra
“Be prepared to execute our
standards in a new normal”
Being Proactive
• Swept the building looking for “vectors”
– Racks of balls
– Shelves of towels
– Containers of gum
– Bottles of soap
– Faucets and toilets
– Fingerprint scanners for entry
Proactive Improvements
• Each player gets their own table around the
practice court (drinks, towels, gum, etc.)
• Touchless faucets and toilets?
• Touchless ID verification / entry?
• Doors / screens to allow fresh air to circulate
• Disinfecting the ball during timeouts
Rigorous Proactivity: FMEA
• Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
– Reliability engineers (1950s)
– Military, NASA, aviation, auto industry
• Old doesn’t mean outdated 
This isn’t
rocket science
FMEA: High-Level View
• Brainstorm potential failure modes
– In a cross-functional, diverse team
– Don’t jump to solutions yet
• Rank / Score failure modes by expected:
– Probability
– Severity
– Detectability
FMEA: Failure Modes
• How might employees pick up or spread Covid?
– Gets coughed or sneezed on
– Passes virus across hands
– Proximity via close desks
– Proximity via meetings
– Contact with office door handle
– Contact with break room sink
– Contact with shared printer
– Contact with cell phone
Risk Priority Number (RPN)
• Score these from 1 to 10
– Probability
• 10 is most likely to occur
– Severity
• 10 is most severe
– Detectability
• 10 is hardest to detect

Can Do Informal FMEAs
• If quantifying is difficult (or impossible), use a
more qualitative approach
• The mindset matters more than the math
Proactive Changes to a Clinic
• Increased telemedicine & video visits
• Remove items from waiting room
• Electronic check in through phone
• Patient waits in car until they can be seen
• Call or text patient when they should come in
• Direct patient straight to exam room (self rooming)
• Spread out appointment times
• Wearing of masks
• Limiting visitors
• Implementing Apple Pay / Google Pay
Should We Go Back to Our
KaiNexus Offices?
• Is the office large enough so that social distancing can
be maintained in the office?
– Is it acceptable for workers to share a refrigerator or amenities?
• How important is it that you go back to the office at all?
– Is being in an office really required, or can the work you are doing be
accomplished remotely just as effectively?
• What is the risk to your employees and their families?
– Are the people who work in your office young and healthy, are they
caring for elderly family members, etc.?
• Do your employees think going back is worth the risk?
• Does your office provide access to a sink and/or hand
sanitizer? How will bathrooms and office be cleaned or
maintained or sanitized?
• What will happen if there is a confirmed case in office?
Jeff Roussel
Chief Revenue Officer
Should We Go Back to Our
KaiNexus Offices?
• Risk / Reward: Currently 90-95% effective remotely
• As small company a high degree of asymptomatic
transmission could be catastrophic in our offices
– One or more people getting sick is far more harmful than everybody
working from home
• Team has discussed working at a proper distance,
wiping down surfaces you touch in the office upon a
return
• “The most proactive thing we have done is to be open
and share operational and financial news within the
company.”
– We continue to overcommunicate about successes and failures
Matt Paliulis
Chief Operating Officer
Should We Go Back to Our
KaiNexus Offices?
• “Our team is young and healthy so the likelihood of a
bad outcome is low.
• BUT our team interacts with lots of other people so this
is the real risk – are we a part of the problem or part of
the solution?
• As long as people continue to get their work done, then
the benefit of going to the office is low and therefore our
risk/benefit ratio will be on the side of remote work.
• We have a much easier decision than some companies.”
Greg Jacobson, MD
Chief Executive Officer
For an Uncertain Future
• Think experimentally
• What assumptions must be true?
• Plan, Test, Study, Adjust
Let’s Shift From
REACTIVE PROACTIVE
Final Thought
• Being proactive doesn’t mean you’ll get it perfect
• “What we thought we knew, we don’t know,”
– said Dr. Nile Cemalovic, an intensive care physician
at Lincoln Medical Center in the Bronx.
• Plan, Test, Study, Adjust

Don't Keep Fighting the Same Fires

  • 1.
  • 6. Organizational “Fires” • Employee gets injured • Patient gets wrong medication • Product launch is botched • Angry customer is lost • Key employee gets frustrated and quits
  • 7. Don’t keep fighting the same fires Put preventive measures in place!
  • 8. How We Put Fires Out Matters 1. Put the fire out (or at least contain it) 2. Understand the root cause 3. Put preventive measures in place, so you don’t keep fighting the same fire
  • 9. Let’s Be More Effective Firefighting Root cause corrective action Proactive problem prevention
  • 10. Marc St. Yves Oklahoma City Thunder vice president of logistics and engagement
  • 11. His Mantra “Be prepared to execute our standards in a new normal”
  • 12. Being Proactive • Swept the building looking for “vectors” – Racks of balls – Shelves of towels – Containers of gum – Bottles of soap – Faucets and toilets – Fingerprint scanners for entry
  • 13. Proactive Improvements • Each player gets their own table around the practice court (drinks, towels, gum, etc.) • Touchless faucets and toilets? • Touchless ID verification / entry? • Doors / screens to allow fresh air to circulate • Disinfecting the ball during timeouts
  • 14. Rigorous Proactivity: FMEA • Failure Mode and Effects Analysis – Reliability engineers (1950s) – Military, NASA, aviation, auto industry • Old doesn’t mean outdated 
  • 16. FMEA: High-Level View • Brainstorm potential failure modes – In a cross-functional, diverse team – Don’t jump to solutions yet • Rank / Score failure modes by expected: – Probability – Severity – Detectability
  • 17. FMEA: Failure Modes • How might employees pick up or spread Covid? – Gets coughed or sneezed on – Passes virus across hands – Proximity via close desks – Proximity via meetings – Contact with office door handle – Contact with break room sink – Contact with shared printer – Contact with cell phone
  • 18. Risk Priority Number (RPN) • Score these from 1 to 10 – Probability • 10 is most likely to occur – Severity • 10 is most severe – Detectability • 10 is hardest to detect
  • 19. Typical FMEA Template Process Step/Input Potential Failure Mode SEVERITY (1-10) Potential Causes OCCURRENCE (1-10) Current Controls DETECTION (1-10) RPN What is the process step, change or feature under investigation?

What are the recommended actions for reducing the occurrence of the cause or improving detection? Spreads from hand to hand 9 Hand shakes 6 6 324 Eliminate hand shaking & fist bumps Contact with cell phone 6 Transferring droplets to phone 9 6 324 Frequent use of disinfectant wipes on phone Contact with shared "hotel" desk / computer 8 Touching those items 8 2 128 Stop sharing desks and equipment Contact with break room sink or items 5 Spread from touching surfaces 7 3 105 One at a time in there.

  • 22. Can Do Informal FMEAs • If quantifying is difficult (or impossible), use a more qualitative approach • The mindset matters more than the math
  • 23. Proactive Changes to a Clinic • Increased telemedicine & video visits • Remove items from waiting room • Electronic check in through phone • Patient waits in car until they can be seen • Call or text patient when they should come in • Direct patient straight to exam room (self rooming) • Spread out appointment times • Wearing of masks • Limiting visitors • Implementing Apple Pay / Google Pay
  • 24. Should We Go Back to Our KaiNexus Offices? • Is the office large enough so that social distancing can be maintained in the office? – Is it acceptable for workers to share a refrigerator or amenities? • How important is it that you go back to the office at all? – Is being in an office really required, or can the work you are doing be accomplished remotely just as effectively? • What is the risk to your employees and their families? – Are the people who work in your office young and healthy, are they caring for elderly family members, etc.? • Do your employees think going back is worth the risk? • Does your office provide access to a sink and/or hand sanitizer? How will bathrooms and office be cleaned or maintained or sanitized? • What will happen if there is a confirmed case in office? Jeff Roussel Chief Revenue Officer
  • 25. Should We Go Back to Our KaiNexus Offices? • Risk / Reward: Currently 90-95% effective remotely • As small company a high degree of asymptomatic transmission could be catastrophic in our offices – One or more people getting sick is far more harmful than everybody working from home • Team has discussed working at a proper distance, wiping down surfaces you touch in the office upon a return • “The most proactive thing we have done is to be open and share operational and financial news within the company.” – We continue to overcommunicate about successes and failures Matt Paliulis Chief Operating Officer
  • 26. Should We Go Back to Our KaiNexus Offices? • “Our team is young and healthy so the likelihood of a bad outcome is low. • BUT our team interacts with lots of other people so this is the real risk – are we a part of the problem or part of the solution? • As long as people continue to get their work done, then the benefit of going to the office is low and therefore our risk/benefit ratio will be on the side of remote work. • We have a much easier decision than some companies.” Greg Jacobson, MD Chief Executive Officer
  • 27. For an Uncertain Future • Think experimentally • What assumptions must be true? • Plan, Test, Study, Adjust
  • 29. Final Thought • Being proactive doesn’t mean you’ll get it perfect • “What we thought we knew, we don’t know,” – said Dr. Nile Cemalovic, an intensive care physician at Lincoln Medical Center in the Bronx. • Plan, Test, Study, Adjust 6/3/2020 35

Notas del editor

  1. Focusing on safety and success – getting back to work in the Covid-19 era My background and experience are with the “Lean” methodology. To me, it was originally “lean manufacturing” – then I pivoted to “lean healthcare work” over the past 15 years. But, I’ve also been a student of the “lean startup” methodology (shout out to Eric Ries and Steve Blank) – there are common themes around Lean in any of these industries or disciplines… and a lot of it comes down to problem solving
  2. When I work with clients, one of the main topics for learning and coaching is problem solving – structured problem solving. Some cringe or pushback at the idea of learning problem solving. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard somebody exclaim “but we’re great problem solvers!”
  3. As we get back to work, a proverbial ”fire” might be an employee who contracts Covid-19 after we’re back in an office.
  4. We don’t want to just have a plan for responding to a colleague getting sick… We don’t want to just get better at RESPONDING to Covid-19, humankind has been working to be better about proactively PREVENTING it
  5. Friend from HS is a fire fighter in Nevada. I had a chance to visit his station and we talked a lot about how his job is really fire PREVENTION – he spends way more time on that than actually fighting a fire… So analogy of “organizational fire fighting” might be unfair to actual professional fire fighters.
  6. We think the fire has been put out, but there are embers…
