What Is An Improvement Cycle?
"Everything we do is a process, every process has a customer"
The Improvement Cycle is a highly disciplined and rigorous approach to problem solving using the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) methodology developed by Dr. W. Edwards Deming.
The Improvement Cycle consists of seven steps, 3 in the Plan phase, 1 in the Do phase, 1 in the Check phase, and 2 in the Act phase.
The PDCA cycle needs to be used in a continuous manner, select your theme or project, assess the current situation, plan and implement your solutions, check the effects of your changes, standardise on your new improved process, and plan for future improvements – the cycle continues.

Although a certain amount of value and benefit may be derived from implementing part of the PDCA improvement process, a far greater benefit will be achieved by sticking to the process and following all 4 phases as best you can. this is especially important when involving internal and/or external team members.

I know, I know. It doesn’t sound too nice. But lets face it, in business, if customers don’t pick your business, they’ve picked somebody else. I want to help you so that the customer picks YOUR business over somebody else’s. This is basically for e-commerce, so for traditional business, emails, e-zines, etc., might not apply but you might still be able to implement the idea behind the statement.* Give people a free subscription to your e-zine.

Many folks believe that all business people and CEOs are greedy Machiavellian types and should be arrested. It is amazing how few people take everything for granted without realizing that it was the businesses and entrepreneurs who have brought in everything you see, everywhere you go. It is Over Regulation in the US that is truly hurting consumers.What is interesting is that with over lawyering and over regulation we are defeating ourselves. The Rule Breaker, Rule Maker Syndrome is certainly coming true for start-ups, which get a foothold and grow into corporate giants, take Google for instance and just as predicted by the Motle

Nearly 30 years ago, I was a guest panelist at a seminar about “Writing for Profit.” -- All day long,the speakers had told the attendees all about how to submit their written works to editors and publishers ... what to expect in a publisher’s contract ... how to prepare a writer’s proposal ... primarily focusing on how to “sell” what the attendees had written.At the end of the seminar, a panel of five “successful writers” ... including me ... was introduced, with a list of each writer’s works and their individual accomplishments given.The first few questions from the audience were nothing more than a rehash of some of the

In twentieth century America while young boys learned construction with Lincoln Logs, little girls instinctively cuddled a Raggedy Ann. Even today Raggedy Ann’s red yarn hair, patched pinafore and button eyes offer images of another era as she celebrates her 90th birthday in museums and private collections.But in 1958 Barbie was born. All grown up and designed with fantasy. This was no rag doll. Barbie’s hair was real and brush-able; her wardrobe generous and trendy. The ‘Barbie’ figure was to become the ultimate achievement of the perfect body. Playing with Barbie during formative years, young girls have acted out all of their d

Ask yourself, will I know, for definite, what the root cause of my success or lack of success actually is?
If You (and your team) developed the plan of action, if you implemented that plan, if you gathered data over the agreed period of time against each of the measures that were set, then you are now ready to check what has happened and why it has happened.
After an agreed amount of time, check the data you have been gathering, what results did you achieve, are you getting the desired results?
N.B. Always check like with like, comparing your original data with new data gathered after you implemented the changes.
STEP 5 Study Your Results
- Are you following your plan? If not, why not?
- Are you gathering data against your performance measures?
- Are results being communicated effectively?
- Is each change being documented?
- Do you know exactly why you're getting what you're getting?
