1. 3E's: What do customers expect, express and what would excite them? What customers expect and express feed your improvement activity. What customers express and are excited by feed your innovation activity. Sustainable growth activities are the result of being able to do both.
2. END TO END SUPPLY CHAIN PROCESS: Over 85% of our organizational problems are caused by our processes, not our people. The secret, slow down and blame the process. Then engage people to find root causes and improve the process. The only way to see the process is map the end to end flow. What is Supply Chain's biggest problem?
3. IN and ON – Do you know the difference?: We go to work every day and work IN the organization answering emails, returning calls, and producing widgets for our clients all while generally running off of heroic effort — day in and day out. What is working ON the business? It's the time you spend focused on improvement and innovation. While IN work is executing to deliver value to the customer, ON work is changing form fit or function of how you deliver value to the customer.
4. FMS: The use of a Formal Management System provides the guidelines for aligning and coordinating Purpose, Process and People in order to help organizations improve at a rate that is faster than those with ad hoc systems or management practices.
