The Hililehe model of diminishing returnsA Business Biomimetics™ idea

Hililehe - High impact, Low impact, Low effort, High effort


Goal deliveryHow well are you balancing the effort you are making and the impact you are creating?

Text


Biologically…..Nature focuses on just good enough to get the best return on effort and available resources


Using lessons from nature the Hililehe model balances two factors to ensure you are delivering change effectively by knowing where you are

Balancers (HiLe)

leveraging networks and resources

Alpha heroes (HiHe)

leading the charge

Repeaters (LiLe)

unhappy having little impact

Diminishers (LiHe)

bags of enrgy not focus on making a difference


This is how the model looks - map your current projects and programmes. Are you balancing impact and effort

Balancers Alpha heroes

Repeaters Diminishers

For example if you map the amount of resources and their impact and it looks like this - would you change your strategy?

5% 2%

60% 43%

Effort

Everyone is busy giving 110% is this this actually

what you want?


Looking at your business what do you observe?

Balancers (HiLe) High impact Low effort

this is a sustainable approach and will work through tough times. It’s smart, principle based leadership - exactly the way nature does it

Alpha heroes (HiHe) High impact High effort

will lead to big strides to begin with followed by frustrations with leadership teams and either burn-out or abdication by the hero

Repeaters (LiLe) low impact Low effort

almost what’s the point for both the individuals involved and the organisation - tends to be the way things have always been. Often shows up as organisation shuffling ( same people different job titles) pro ices work only at the detail end or the need for innovation as a new department/person

Diminishers (LiHe) Low impact and High effort

projects and initiatives that are focused on method and being on time to budget, many reviews and reports and internal meetings - no-one focusing on whether the problem will be solved or if a rela difference will be made
