The Seven Questions
How P.D.C.A. Solve One of the Problems of “Non-Performance”.
The People Plus Workshop

The Seven Questions
1. Do they have the correct tools / resources to do the job? [Equipment / resources]
2. How enthusiastic are they to get the job done? [Motivation / engagement]
3. Do they get sufficient support from their peers? [Peer / Colleague support]
4. Has the person clearly understood the assignment? [Effective communication]
5. Is there anything personal that is hindering their performance? [Personal problems]
6. How many times has the issue of poor performance been discussed? [A Need to correct
performance and or behaviour]
Please Note
Points 1 to 6 are not Training Needs. If the cause of the lack of performance is any one of
these, no amount of training will improve their performance and / or behaviour.
Only if it is either 7.1. or 7.2, will the appropriate development improve performance /
behaviour.
7.1. Do they understand how to do the task?
[A need to improve knowledge and / or understanding of the task]
7.2. Can they perform the task at an appropriate level?
[They understand what has to be done, but do not know how well to do it – i.e. Skill.
Need to experience doing the task to improve skill]
This also depends on the quality of the training, transfer of learning and follow up.
(To “Close the Gap” and therefore get the Return on Learning Invested).
