Waging war on bad process

We empower improvement by investing in others. Giving them the skills they need to make and lead change, while making improvement a team sport.

Empowerment is essential to any transformation.

Process improvement consulting that empowers.

Starting point

Start where you are.

When you empower others to participate, you get an honest and accurate reflection of where you currently are. Not where you think you are. Or where you think you should be. But a real assessment of where you are and what is possible.

Collaborative

Change happens by the people, not to the people.

When you empower others to participate, you get more ideas than you could possibly act on. And improvement just don’t occur through projects. It begins to occur through everyday activities, as people find ways to add value in little ways, which add up to big results.

Sustainable improvement results

Sustained results.

When you empower others to participate, not only are your results better, they are sustained longer. Because the ideas behind each change came from the people who do the work, accountability to implement the ideas and sustain the ideas will be higher.

I really enjoyed this course! The content and delivery are great, but it also reminded me about the importance of the voice of the customer.

This course breaks it all down- the why, who, what, and how. You’ll see lots of pro tips related to assembling a team, best practices for each step in the process, and pitfalls to avoid.
