Concept of continuous improvement has been misused by many as a disguise for poorly managed projects. Projects that often consumed significant resource and led to an insignificant change at best.
Here are 8 signs of false improvement projects:
1. Project documentation does not exist or is very limited.
2. Responsibilities and accountability are not defined.
3. Project timescale and milestones are nowhere to be found.
4. Benefits of the project are subjective and open for interpretation.
5. Cost of the project exceeds the value of the improvement.
6. Financial benefits of the projects have not been calculated.
8. The project has no relevance to the overall business strategy.
It’s easy to confuse continuous improvement with mere convenience.
