The core cycle of impi! is a PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act) of continuous improvement to deliver ongoing customer value. Delivering customer value today requires the right combination of Quality, Speed and Cost.
Assessing Value and Risk.
Application of Knowledge
Variations in processes for quality, speed and cost (or non-conformities) hamper your business’ ability to deliver consistent customer value. The largest threats faced are wasteful activities and risk.
Best Operating Practice.
Management of Knowledge
To protect against these threats, standards and routines are set as Best Operating Practices that empower your workers. BOP protects your procedures, your people, the environment, business model and ultimately shareholder profit and is the accumulation of post knowledge.
Best Improvement Practice.
Creation of Knowledge
Best Operating Procedures are never completely optimal for delivering value or managing risk. Processes decay over time. To prepare for the future, Best Improvement Practices are established for day to day practice in the form of problem solving, improvement projects and innovation.
Empowerment.
Transferal of Knowledge
Through training, coaching and the practice of daily routines, everyone develops mastery and becomes engaged, people are empowered to make decisions. As discipline and creativity develop and grow over time, they become a thinking people. Team and individual performance is recognised, success is celebrated.
Leadership & Structure.
Supporting Knowledge Productivity
Leadership designs the organisation structure, it provides direction and resources to its members and establishes leadership routines to achieve daily customer satisfaction and long term objectives. The role of leadership is to “drive out fear from the workplace, so that everyone may work effectively” (Edwards Deming).
