7 Transformation Principles
4. Just don't do something, sit there - Creates project delays and unnecessary pressures
5. Change the foundation first - A common knowledge base and view of the problem and its solution
3. Involvement breeds acceptance - People wont accept reengineering until they can see themselves living and working in the reengineered environment
6. Change takes time, but not that much - Transformation is a process, not a single event
2. People believe what you do, not what you say - Team members must be willing to speak the truth, challenge deceit, and act with integrity
7. Progress is not linear, nor is it smooth - Reengineering in an operating environment is a very disorderly process
1.Assumptions & Biases Shape Behavior - Behavior cannot change until the underlying causes of behavior are addressed
Continuous Improvement Principles
3. Pay attention to detail - Improvements are lasting only when people attend to the lowest level of detail
4. Quality requires systematic work - Improving the environment and customer responsiveness required a systematic change
2. Improvement is always desirable - People must be heard and given the power to implement improvements
5. Create an ongoing exchange & sharing of information - People can take action only if they have knowledge and awareness
1. Improvement is everyone's responsibility - Communications, quality, error reduction, productivity, customer satisfaction, cost reduction, worker satisfaction and enjoyment
6. Quality is driven by individual, not organizations - They believe they can improve
