We are on the sixth day of our challenge to improve your business in 77 days. Yesterday, we talked about improvements to your implementation plan.
Now, you have improved the creative process in your business. You have improved the communication process of your ideas, which results in the improvements of the basic ideas. You have a great community around your business, you know what the priority number one for your business is, and you have the implementation plan for the ideas that need to be implemented.
Now, it’s time to start with the implementation process.
Start Continuous Improvement
What can be improved there?
We need an answer to that question, but first, let’s see what makes an implementation process to be an excellent one.
- We need the process to be implemented as it is planned.
- We need improvements in the process when we find something is wrong.
- We need a process that will create more value for our customers as soon as possible.
- We need a process that will escape possible resistance.
That’s the basic things that you need to improve when it comes to your implementation process.
Each process has its own starting point and finish line. The start is based on the implementation plan. The finish line must be something that can bring accomplishment of our goals. This not means that we can’t improve the process because we have a clear plan.
Plans are based on assumptions and cannot be taken for granted, and something that cannot be changed in the implementation process. We talk about improvements, and everything that can be improved is allowed to be changed.
Questions You Need to Answer About Implementation Process
When you are in the implementation process or after the process, you always need to find answers to these questions if you want to have continuous improvement in your business:
- Is your plan implemented?
- Are there some mistakes that need to be corrected?
- How can mistakes be corrected from your plan?
- Why is there an existence of discrepancies between the plan and the results from implementation?
- What do you need to do to eliminate those discrepancies?
- What do you need to do in the future to minimize occurrences of such a discrepancy?
- Whether what you implement now is something that creates value for your customers?
- Can you increase the value to your customers?
- What do you need to implement to increase the value to your customers?
- Can you somehow shorten the implementation in such a way that it will be finished as soon as possible but will deliver more value to your customers?
- Is there some type of resistance to changes?
- How can you minimize or eliminate possible resistance?
These questions and their answer will lead you through continuous improvement when you implement new ideas in your business.
We will continue tomorrow with the seventh day when we will work on leading and the leadership processes.
