Continuous improvement is first of all about finding the easiest way to do and get things done, always using common sense and involving people. This is the only way to aim for sustainable growth of the culture of improvement.This is exactly how I live my daily life at work: I mainly try to be a good coach, always explaining to people why certain paths are taken without ever frightening anyone with the "method," but rather precisely by being helped by the "method."Of course shared planning with all stakeholders based on objective data (priorities and kpi) is essential, but then we have to work on the "gemba" to grow the culture of improvement and achieve increasingly important goals.
