Creating barriers

I have been struggling with my latest piece of work to establish how to meet information needs to describe the productivity of the healthcare system. It is only know as I am sitting enjoying a curry that I have dissociated myself from the problem to see new openings.

Now, I was trying to believe I was stuck in the 'inner triangle' in which there are 3 key questions.

1. What is the specific goal?
2. Does the reason for the goal provide buy-in from all necessary to make a difference?
3. Is there sufficient belief & capability to move on this?

I have spent enough time going in circles round these questions when I had the answers to these questions already.

What I need to do is take responsibility and move forward to start the possibility thinking.

Possibility thinking is fun, exciting & creative. I had prevented myself getting into this good stuff by creating a pretend barrier.

Now I can stop wasting energy on creating barriers that aren't there & get on with looking at all the possible tasks to do, resources available, assumptions to test, risks & obstacles to get passed and who, why & how to involve others.

Now I have taken responsibility, I have moved the work into the creative box. Guess what? I am now bursting to crack on.

What are you not doing that is allowing you to accept not moving forward as acceptable?
