1. Assign people the job of perceiving problems, give them time to investigate, and make sure they have independent reporting lines so that they can convey problems without any fear of recrimination.
2. Watch out for the “Frog in the Boiling Water Syndrome.”
3. Beware of group-think: The fact that no one seems concerned doesn’t mean nothing is wrong.
4. To perceive problems, compare how the outcomes are lining up with your goals.
5. “Taste the soup.”
6. Have as many eyes looking for problems as possible.
7. “Pop the cork.”
8. Realize that the people closest to certain jobs probably know them best.
