What is an Actual Impediment? People talk a lot about them, but is “this” an impediment or not?

Impediments are simply things that slow us down (or maybe even stop us) from moving forward and delivering value. Most people have a large list of impediments in their organization and for themselves. When we are working with organizations, we typically start by focusing on goals and impediments. What are your goals and then what is holding you back. The challenge is, that we often end up with just a list of “so called impediments” or “fake impediments” and they often prevent us from improving! They are listed as impediments, yet, when we start digging into them, they become confusing and unclear. In this session, we are going to have you generate some impediments, look at some lists of impediments, and work to categorize and analyze them with a series of steps. The goal of the session is to have a better way to assess impediments and to ensure you are focusing on the real issues!
