Continuous Improvement

Understand how HypeIMT can support the development of existing continuous improvement programs by using its ability to reach to thousands of people quickly and ask them to collaborate on new processes or issues they experience during work.

You may have continuous improvement programs in place, such as Lean or 6-Sigma. These often address the need for incremental change and improvements on products and services in addition to making the organization more efficient.

The Challenge:

• Often continuous improvement programs can be resource intensive, requiring people to step away from day-to-day activities to work in teams developing solutions to problems.

• Outcomes from CI workshops can suffer from lack of scale due to the practicalities of taking employees away from the day job and work upon an associated activity. This can lead to only a small number of views and opinions included within the development of new solutions.

• It addition, improvement identified locally, may not be shared, tested or replicated more widely due to the very local nature of some CI programs or the cost associated with involving a wider group.

How our solutions help:

• HypeIMT isn’t designed to replace existing continuous improvement processes and thinking, however, it does have some capabilities which can help CI practitioners, for example the ability to reach out very widely and quickly to a diverse audience to test a new approach or idea.

• Normally, giving thousands of people the ability to share issues about a business process would be slow and expensive; with our Innovation Software, a short campaign can be issued and within minutes you can begin to gather responses.

• Many configurations of HypeIMT encourage employees to collaborate and build upon the ideas of others. This improves the quality of solutions and ideas, leading to stronger outcomes for established continuous improvement programs with the benefits spread more widely.
