Introduction to Improve

IIL-LSSGB

6-00-*

Key steps in Improve

  • Develop potential solutions
  • Evaluate, select, and optimize best solutions
  • Develop to-be value stream map
  • Develop and implement pilot solution
  • Confirm attainment of project goals
  • Develop and execute full-scale implementation plan
  • Prepare for improve gate review

The rules of brainstorming are not made to be broken. Adhere to them to keep the free flow of ideas coming.

Note that the worst form of “judgment” happens in people’s own minds (what you can call “self-censorship”). Encourage people to ignore that little voice that tells them: “silly idea” or “they’ll never buy it” and to just blurt out their thoughts.
