It’s #wisdomwednesdays so it’s time to share things I learned.
Here are 10 Process Improvement Mistakes you Don’t Want to Make.
I was actually going to create a list myself, but my friends Karlo and Tracy at GoLeanSixSigma.com have already put this together, and I agree 100% to all of what they said!
So I thought I would just share it with you!
My personal favorites are:
1. The Glory Hoarder
An example of is when Project Leads take all the recognition, and the team members are not given any credit whatsoever.
Sometimes, Project Leads tend to do this unknowingly too. Like when it’s time to present and demonstrate the project results, the Leads feel they should always be the one to take stage, while somehow leaving the rest of the team out of the spotlight.
How about letting the team members who actually developed the solutions take center stage?
2. The Pet Solution
This is where people already have a preferred solution to the problem.
In my experience, what happens here is that people tend to reverse-engineer their Pet Solution into the DMAIC approach just for them to be able to complete a Lean Six Sigma project.
That’s just wrong!
3. Passing the Buck
This happens when you try to eliminate steps within the process you’re looking to improve, only for another department upstream or downstream to end up taking on that piece of work.
Continue on to see the rest of the mistakes you don’t want to make, along with some great examples.
