When we contemplate improvements we usually think about adding things:
- A new bit of technology
- A new experience at the conference
- More manpower, more money and more time
An equally important exercise, although rarely done at most organizations including associations, is taking things away or simplifying:
- Sunsetting underperforming offerings
- Revisiting and trashing policies that no longer make sense
- Paring down the newsletter so it can be read in 5 minutes, no make that 3 minutes
What can you take away?
