PDCA is About Not Telling Lies

Sometimes we can lose a lot if we tell the truth (what we think is the truth). Sometimes we can lose someone we love because of that. It can’t be our PLAN. In this case DO is very hard. To say the right words, CHECK the reaction and ACT quick and smart.
How easy it is to write and how hard it is to do…

If everyone is committed to the goal, then there is no need to keep anything secret. In fact it is essential that all are informed every step of the way to assure that every resource is utilized and working to achieve the same set of goals. The problems begin when secrets are being kept, it downplays the strength of the group to maximize its true potential and overcome the situations that can be construed as road blocks. Some misguided members of the group may view it in their “best interest” not to inform everyone. On the contrary, the secret itself presents another problem of being disclosed at a later stage when it already poses as a major stumbling block. The PDCA Cycle asserts the procedures that are needed to assure realization of the goal and achieve its full circle. At a level up – secure sustainability upon completion and strive to seek continuous improvement.

A secret is something that was done without informing the the group after it has already agreed at a strategic plan. In a way the PDCA cycle provides the outline of the strategic plan. The strategic plan is not a problem, it unifies all the resources of the group to gravitate to the agreed goal/s. All plans have levels of detailing that falls in the WBS. Even the Strategic Plan can be a WIP as obstacles present themselves which were not seen in the initial stages. When the plans escalate all the way down and laid in the WBS, it is hoped that all detailing has been made clear to all members of the group.
Even if I do not need help from the group, I would certainly inform them of my own initiatiative as it may in some way affect other on-going jobs that other members of the group are currently involved in.
Having a personal signature of being a Restorative and Developer dictates me to solve problem and not make them, if possible, avoid them altogether by good planning. As a group and being a member in the group, may I ask what value is there to keep a secret if all members of the group are agreed to achieve its goals? Most specially if it concerns tasks related to the goals of the group. I could also learn from your explanation.
