Are You Serious About Improvement?

When we talk about Improvement, it is with a capital I. True Improvement is more than just a project here or there. It is a system where people work together within, throughout and across departments, divisions, product lines and supply chains, looking for better, faster, cheaper, more innovative or more reliable ways to achieve organizational goals.

Improvement is both large scale and small. On a macro level, it is looking at how an organization is or should be structured, what its strategy is (could or should be), helping people get ready for change. On a smaller scale, it is providing the help and support individuals need to bring about change and achieve excellence.

At Conway Management Company, we use imagineering - visualizing how things could or should be - and then devise ways to help organizations and individuals move towards perfection. We have developed a rigorous methodology for attacking waste (opportunities for improvement) that helps people to work on projects in a logical sequence. This methodology includes a series of related steps that identifies problems, causes, fundamental solutions and a follow-up system to assure processes stay fixed. It is comprehensive and, we have found, ideal for organizations that are serious about Improvement.

Is your organization serious about improvement? I so, we welcome your thoughts and comments!
