Maximizing your Process Improvement ROI through Harmonization

Abstract

Different challenges require different tools, so your organization is probably using more than one model, standard, or technology. Some are discipline-oriented; others are discipline-neutral and serve the overall enterprise. Some describe what to do; others prescribe how to do it. All offer unique features and address particular problems, to be sure. In this environment—where several improvement initiatives are concurrently implemented at different hierarchical levels and across different organizational functions—different parts of your organization are championing those technologies that best address their problems.
