DEFINE
Make sure you define what problem affects your company. What does success look like? Without this step, you might be solving the wrong problem. Start with a good value stream map of your operations.
MEASURE
Before you can improve, you need to know where you are. This is often laborious and time-consuming, but critical. Are you seeing measurable results right now? if not, can you start documenting your processes.
ANALYZE
Figure out why things are wrong, broken, or not working. The majority of analytical tools fit in here: fish bone diagrams, Pareto charts, maturity models, business cases, waterfall charts, RACI charts, RFPs etc. . .
IMPROVE
Make the change. Too often companies want to make changes internally and fail in program and change management, and politics busting. Most cases, fail to set clear accountability and strategy settings.
CONTROL
Key process controls are needed to ensure sustained continuity of improvements in the company. Requires collaborative support for the importance of ongoing diligence, vigilance, consistency, and habit.
