Building a Culture of Continual Improvement

Building a Culture of Continual Improvement

Continual improvement is the clause most organizations struggle with, because it cannot be delegated to a quality manager and completed. It has to become a habit distributed across the people doing the work.

That starts with making it safe to raise problems. If reporting a nonconformity results in blame, reports stop and problems go underground. If it results in a fix, reports increase and so does the quality of information you have to work with.

The second ingredient is visible follow-through. Teams stop contributing when suggestions disappear. A simple, visible record of what was raised, what was decided, and what changed does more for improvement culture than any amount of training.

It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.
- W. Edwards Deming
