Continuous Improvement in Your Business

Gary Harpst • Jun 15, 2022

A system to continuously improve.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than trying to solve them. – Henry Ford

Want to improve by statistical analysis rather than by guesswork?

  • Looking to achieve hard and soft money earnings?
  • Need to improve customer satisfaction?
  • Have improvement ideas but need a proven process to implement them?
  • Want a great way to increase employee engagement?

Discipline V guides your team through a series of best practices to gather, prioritize, and implement employee driven improvement suggestions. Here are all the questions your team will answer:

  1. Capture Opportunities for Improvement (OFI’s)   |   How are OFI’s encouraged and captured?
  2. OFI Triage    |  How do we decide which OFI’s to implement?
  3. Define Opportunity Thoroughly    |   What is the problem/opportunity?
  4. OFI Gap Measures    |  What is the fact-based gap between current and desired performance?
  5. Analyze Root Issues    |  What are the root causes of the problem?
  6. Improve the Process    |  How will the system be implemented?
  7. Control the Results    |   How will the gains be sustained?

To become a more effective leader, it's crucial to recognize and appreciate the influence of desire in every individual you encounter. Understanding and addressing these desires are key to connecting with others on a deeper level, whether in professional or personal settings. Recognizing and respecting these inner motivations not only enriches interpersonal interactions but also fosters a greater sense of understanding and cooperation in all aspects of life, extending beyond the confines of traditional employment.

In biblical language the heart is in the center of our bodies and represents where desire originates deep within us. In this narrative, God points to the heart where the problems start. It says: “The intentions of the thoughts of the heart were only evil always.”
