Today I met with one of our portfolio companies and we discussed continuous improvement (CI). I dug out an interesting article from my archives and thought I would make that the blog topic for today.
The following says it all:
Improvement requires Change
Change needs Action
Action requires Knowledge
Knowledge leads to Experience
Experience results in Wisdom
Wisdom is increased by taking more Action
If your organization is taking on a continuous improvement program it has to definitely feel comfortable with Change, Taking Action and Sharing Knowledge and Best Practices.
From what nCompass has noted and many are sure to agree; many organizations decide to take on a program without regard to the ‘other’ programs that play a support role. Every program is the result of a mindset, philosophy, train of thought. Implementing any program is not as simple as saying ‘we’re doing xyz’; to be effective it has to be in line with the organization’s strategy, philosophy, driving force.
