A much better way is to share the workload with your value analysis team members. I will guarantee that by doing so, you will increase your savings output by 300%, 400% or even 500%. If you don’t have a value analysis team(s) now, then it is high time you establish one to lighten your workload, increase your throughput and boost your buy-in on your savings ideas. 

It then becomes your job to facilitate, coach, train and consult with your VA team leaders and VA team members to ensure that your VA team is on track, on budget and on target to save big for your healthcare organization.

One of the secrets of personal productivity is DELEGATION: Assigning others your responsibility, but not your accountability to get things done! That’s what a VA team can do for you. It will provide you with many extra experienced hands that you will need to operate at peak performance.  The alternative is to continue to be swamped, frazzled and overworked while getting little, if any, real, robust savings work done.
