Prevention

Notes

Prevention can be considered as a type of Multiplier, because we handle a problem while it is still small or even none existent, instead of dealing it with when it is large, complicated or urgent. It is also a form of Effort Storing, we make an initial investment now in order to save much more down the road. It is a much easier and healthier version of Risk Management because we take care of problems while the risk is low.

Prevention requires us first to know what we are trying to prevent, and take a proactive. approach rather than dealing with problems as they arise. For example, a process of Pre-Mortem might help us discover in advance what could go wrong and what can we do about it. Since Problems have a Ripple effect, preventing problems in advance solves much more than the immediate effect. For example, a certain disease might be so taxing that you would have to quit work, so taking a vaccine against that disease saves you not only from that illness, but also from losing your job.
