Every person, process, product, & service

can be influenced, adapted, or improved.

We've all experienced excellence. A championship trophy, a first place ribbon, or some other Best In Class recognition. These mementoes mark our potential.


Champion moments are achieved through determined effort. 

Successful organizations strive for the same excellence by: 

  - Searching for new situations, and then adapting

  - Exploiting the opportunity in each new problem

  - Nurturing a culture of flexibility & risk tolerance


After each victory, champion organizations take a moment to assess & reenergize. 

Each success is briefly recognized, rewarded, and then replaced by the next new challenge.

These are a few hypothetical, unrealistic, completely imaginary situations:



Requirements

  • + developers
  • + stakeholders
  • + chaotic goals
  • + general dissatisfaction

Effective implementation

  • 1.  Boss provides revised solutions & instructions
  • 2.  Employees do as ordered.
  • 3.  Gradually & quietly, the new procedures are ignored.
  • 4.  Step 1 repeats.

Training assistance

  • Business is growing.
  • Boss is incredibly busy, too busy for trivia.
  • Seasoned employees are promoted into new assignments.
  • New employees are hired.
  • Unresolved challenges and fresh new problems arise daily.
  • Leaders & trainers need coaching. Now.

Continuous improvement culture

  • : analyze critical aspects of new opportunity
  • : change via stakeholder contribution (success sells improvement)
  • : systematically control procedures & specifications (approve, train, protect)
  • : identify & publicize the profitable benefits of prevention

Procedural training for projects

  • Facilitate stakeholder & project team member contributions.
  • Define the situation in straightforward, measurable terms.
  • Analyze the facts, requirements, & possibilities.
  • Anticipate failures in a new product or process using FMEA.
  • Implement process controls & response plans.

Other common areas of opportunity

  • ~ Organization Plans
  • ~ Maintenance / System Support
  • ~ ISO & Quality Systems
  • ~ Obsolete processes still in use
  • ~ Critical, undocumented details

Always subversive, always disruptive, rarely controllable,
radical innovation is expensive & messy.
Something only a competitor would consider.

Just A Story


Our business leader owns the big risks & rewards.

When a challenge blocks our path, we need a solution.

    [ quickly, brilliantly, cheaply ]

With confident urgency, the Boss recommends one.

    [ a good fix with a history of reliable success ]

To the Boss I say, “Okay.”

Then, I postpone his recommendation.

I help stakeholders define the situation & success criteria.

    [ where we are, and where we must go ]

Success requires a clear understanding of the situation.

If the recommendation is inadequate, we find a new one.

Leaders always value success over obedience.

    [ if solution is risky, never ever surprise ]
