Bottom-up Framework?
Ricardo Henrique Vaz Claudio, Manager, Brazil, Member
My point-of-view of the Bottom-up Approach is that there must be some kind of framework to bring to the discussion what decisions make sense or not.
So, when you have something to change or enhance, you need to scratch this up into a cost x benefit analysis and an idea sketch, as a presentation, movie or draw. And, of course, a cost reduction or/either a revenue increase onto a spreadsheet to support your idea.

Framing a Bottom-up Approach
Jaap de Jonge, Management Consultant, Netherlands Thanks Ricardo for your interesting topic. Do you mean to say that to make a bottom-up approach feasible or more useful, you have to "frame" and agree on the issue beforehand? Communicate the precise situation/problem clearly in advance? And agree before even starting on how you are going to measure the outcomes?
Depending on the circumstances, culture, environment, company, etc., it could be you are then trying to over-control/steer/manage the process and people, while the very essence of a bottom-up approach is to trust the people that are involved and let the process flow in a free, natural, creative and open way.
Still, you got an interesting point in looking for ways to combine a bottom-up approach with some framing or framework.
