Things That Show Up Along the Way
Payer Value Propositions are behemoth projects. They entail capturing numerous inputs from numerous people, accurately referencing and annotating, organizing the flow in a way that makes sense, aligning with previously approved material, ….
When things show up along the way, how do you finish faster? (A) Charging ahead without heeding to the nuances that arise along the way; or (B) Taking care of the nuances as you go along, so you don’t have to look back later.
With (A), SOMETHING is ready quickly, but that something may hardly be what you’re proud to show the world.
With (B), the process can quickly become tedious. So tedious that after a certain point, you lose patience and rush to get it done.
The correct answer lies somewhere in between these 2 extremes.
At some point, EVERYTHING that comes up will have to be addressed (nothing can be ignored). Therefore:
- If it makes sense, just take care of the nuance right now, so you can move on.
- If it makes sense, don’t bother with it right now. Take good notes on paper, and revisit this checklist at the end before handing off your work. Writing down these nuances is the ONLY surefire way that you’ll remember all of them (relying on your memory is not).
