Simplicity Tips
1. At your team meeting every week or every month, depending on the frequency of meetings, ask someone to do a five minute presentation (without using PowerPoint) called ‘My big simplicity idea for our team is …’
2. Invite a customer to read three emails or letters you have sent in the previous week and ask them to give you feedback about the language you used
3. Invite two 16-year-old students who are friends to attend your team meeting and ask them to give the team members honest feedback at the end of the meeting about the language used.
4. Ask one of your team members to write a story on one side of A4 called ‘A complicated problem in this department/team explained for an audience of secondary school students (11-16 year olds)’. Send the story to a local schoolteacher and ask for feedback from the students at his/her school.
