We use A3 and 4dx

A3 is a tool that helps us identify a problem (gap), determine how we want to improve it, find the root cause of the problem, improve it, then follow up to see how we're doing.

PDCA, a3, Tedx on continuous improvement

The 4 Disciplines of execution

4dx

While a3 helps us define a gap and tells us how to fix it...

4dx

4dx gives us a technique for making it happen!

How?

  • Focus on Wildly Important Goal (WIG)
  • Act on Lead Measures
  • Keep a Compelling Scoreboard
  • Create a Cadence of Accountability
