Introduction

When approaching process improvement, I have found that the most effective changes were implemented when I have followed a structured flow.

I have mapped out the structure below as a principle methodology for when I am working to improve a process.

Although each project is different, some may even skip around these steps or may start halfway through. This process has worked well for the projects I've done.

Stages

Foundational Data

Starting with the data, I identify where there are opportunities to capture and understand the process as it is and be able to scope the need for change and how I would even recognize if recognize improvements if they happen.

During this stage, we're just trying to figure out what data exists, what data is needed, and how we can introduce more ways of capturing data that either is new or is from sources that are not currently being utilized.
