How to Keep Getting Better! |
If you stand still, you're going to get caught and overtaken - by competitors, by problems, or by life itself. Whether it's a product, a process or your career, you need to be continually striving to improve it.
Progress can be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Small, incremental improvements can deliver excellent results over time, and you can learn how to achieve them with our articles, Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) and Kaizen.
You can apply the same principle of continuous improvement to your team. Our article, After Action Review (AAR) Process, describes how you can systematically learn lessons from every important team activity and project.

A Final Note
No product or system is perfect. As we say in our article on Kaizen, "everything can be improved." Continually fine tuning your processes delivers real benefits, such as less waste, increased competitiveness, and higher customer satisfaction.
Next week, get your "thinking hats" on as you learn how to examine a problem from different perspectives, and find out how to create simple action plans with our new video.
Have a great week!
