At my last assignment, a client asked me to create a 'cookie cutter' step-by-step for process improvement employing the 6Sigma approach. It took years of experience and Business Excellence training to model the 'common sense' techniques into a recipe I could implement (though no individual step in the process was new to me or even remotely revolutionary).
Sounded impossible at first. But, big ideas are usually many simple ideas ingeniously put together. I started out with a framework of 11 steps, then developed the individual ideas by example, employing a tool in my repertoire. I think, for straight-forward ideas, the recipe should work fine.
I may have just come up with my own version of the steps to improving process. I may elaborate on the idea and turn it into a handbook.
