Member Connections: PDCA: How to “Plan” for Change

The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle is an excellent tool for Lean practitioners – and if you’re new to Lean, it’s a great way to get your feet wet with Lean concepts. The first step of this process is “planning” the Lean organizational effort you’re going to undertake.

During the “Plan” stage, you’ll define how Lean implementation will help you better serve your clients and achieve your organization’s mission. What problems are you trying to solve for your clients and yourselves?

A new resource is now available for LCI corporate members: Getting Started With Lean: A Guide for Organizations New to Lean. In it, you’ll find valuable information on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle along with exclusives such as an A3 template, a 52-week suggested Lean stand-up schedule, and more!

Download this resource from the Member Hub under “Guides, Reports & Research” on the right-hand side-bar.
