Good, Better, Best

In this episode of the ABB Solutions Podcast, host Mike Murphy is joined by Randy Stevens, North American Training Manager for Automation Solutions. They explore the “Good, Better, Best” mindset and how it applies far beyond product comparisons, impacting project execution, training, team performance, and continuous improvement. Randy explains why striving for perfection too early can stall progress and why delivering something good is often far better than delivering nothing at all. Tune in to hear insights on:

• Good, Better, Best Thinking: Why having something functional is better than waiting indefinitely for perfection.
• The Hidden Worst Case: How having nothing is often the most damaging outcome in projects and processes.
• Perfection vs. Progress: Why perfectionism can create paralysis and delay real world impact.
• Continuous Improvement: How starting with good creates momentum that leads to better and eventually best outcomes.
• Training and Product Development: Applying the mindset to classes, learning content, and real world execution.
• Feedback and Debriefs: Using lessons learned, customer feedback, and team input to refine and improve results over time.
• Leadership and Team Enablement: Supporting teams by encouraging progress, learning, and growth rather than nitpicking details.
