My name is Ana. I have been a team leader for a few years now. But I have always been obsessed with continuous improvement, I’m finally getting a chance to apply my knowledge and skills at my current job. Any recommendations, suggestions that can help me develop my role would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

In parallel to start with, Identify and Pursue addressable opportunities for Continuous Improvement this could lead way for delivery excellence moving slowly from “Doing the Same” to “Occasional Improvements” to “Continuous Improvement” to “Innovation and Transformation”
Good Luck.

@cwocarpenter I really like that question. What processes do I dread. I will ask myself this next time I work on something.0January 16, 2020 at 9:42 am #245556
Jay ArthurParticipant@KnowwaremanInclude @Knowwareman in your post and this person will
be notified via email.Start with the worst first. The worst problems (involving delay, defects and deviation) usually have the best data and the greatest chance for dramatic improvement.
Don’t major in minor things.

Mike CarnellParticipant@Mike-CarnellInclude @Mike-Carnell in your post and this person will
be notified via email.@Mrs.Pagan my advice is probably a bit different. I wouldn’t do anything at all for a couple weeks beyond watching and talking to people in casual one on one conversation. Maybe 2 on 1. The last thing you nesd to do is roll in like a new guru there to save them using a bunch of buzz/Japanese words and throwing around tools that nobody gets but you. You are in the change business even more than you are in the continuous improvement business. You need to build credibility other wise your going to come up with solutions that nobody will implement wich is basically the same as not doing anything at all.
Just my opinion.
