Shingo
  How true is this statement by Dr. Shingo?  Oftentimes improvement means trying something new, different or out of the ordinary.  This is the essence of innovation. Whether it is a new diet, new technique or a unique innovation, trying something new will help you improve.

Make Life Better!

Greg Louganis
  Sometimes you may feel as though the small and simple improvements are easier to work around or that eliminating a little waste here in there is not as important as other things you do.  As Greg Louganis once said: “Never underestimate your ability to make someone else's life better – even if you never know it.”  You never really know how your actions today could affect tomorrow so don't underestimate yourself.

Nothing is impossible.

Quotes
  We've all been told that we can do whatever we put our mind to.  Would you believe it if we told you it's true.  There is nothing impossible in this world.  Some things take more work than others. But, impossible is not part of the improvement language.  Audrey Hepburn said it best when she shared: "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, I'm Possible."  No matter what you're trying to do understand that it is possible.

The most effective way...

8/24/2018

Lean Strategies International LLC
  Many years ago one of the best books on Continuous Improvement (Lean) was written, The Toyota Way.  Still today this book is studied and referenced in many different operational excellence ventures.  In the book author Jeffrey Liker discusses 14 management principles that are important in a Lean Strategy.  While these 14 principles are quite important one of the common themes you may think about and hear through the book is the idea that "doing something is always better than doing nothing."  Amelia Earhart's quote above is a perfect reminder of this powerful behavior; "The most effective way to do it, is to do it."  
  It is quite common for all of us to dream of an imagine the absolute "perfect" situation when looking to improve, but, perfect is not always the correct way to imagine.  Perfect is hard to achieve but better can always be achieved.  If your moving in the right direction it doesn't matter how far you move just that you keep moving and as Amelia and Mr. Liker's book hints sometimes, moving in the right direction requires first that you get started.

Rewarding and Recognizing Great Work!

7/26/2018

  Sometimes we can focus more on finding forms of waste and issues than we do on rewarding the hard work that people do.  Part of making improvements is celebrating your victories and taking the time to say: Good job, Great work and Way to go.  The quote below from Abraham Lincoln helps remind us that if we took sometime to celebrate even our small victories not only would it have a profound effect on our companies but it would also make for a much happier world of people.

Persevere Through Your Lean Journey

7/20/2018

0 Comments

 
At the start of any initiative, one can feel a buzz in the air. There is an energy where people are excited for the prospects ahead. With that excitement often comes expensive software, new materials, trainings, and endless meetings.  Eventually, the momentum wanes and improvements fade into old habits. Shifting the culture of an organization and implementing a new initiative is a journey; one that takes patience. Simplify the process and focus on the small steps that lead you towards your goal. The changes will come with simple daily steps. Once you find what works, do it again. Improve upon it. One day, you will survey your organization and instead of shadows of innovation, you see a community transformed with employees who are invested in bettering their environment.

Everybody Makes A Difference

Nelson Mandela was one of the most influential political leaders in recent history. His journey was truly inspiring transforming from a prisoner to an iconic world leader who broke barriers of racism. Mr. Mandela recognized that in order for a society to be successful each person needed to feel empowered and know that they matter. Likewise, the success of any organization is forged on the backs of it's employees. Each member has the capacity to influence an organization in unprecedented ways. One does not need a title and a corner office to make a difference. The development of an organization happens with the individuals as well as the leaders.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible.’

  – Audrey Hepburn -

  Though the quote itself is not directly related to continuous improvement, Audrey Hepburn shares with us a very inspirational thought.  In continuous improvement it is important that we remember nothing is impossible.  There will be times when you feel as though the journey is impossible and although you may not be able to influence or change the thoughts of others it is important to remember that no matter where you are on your continuous improvement journey you can be an example of what is possible.
