> "The people using the checklists have little ability to change them or to improve them" I was listing to an interview with the author of The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande, and he cited this as one of the main reasons why attempts to use them fail in some organisations. He seems a big proponent of the people using checklists being the ones who should write and imporve them or at least be involved, and that they be kept short and focused. They shouldn't be stuffed with needless detail, they are not instruction manuals. Checklists imposed from above without input from those who use them is just another version of beauracratic organisations imposing processes on people.
