Tipu
A pragmatic approach
to managed improvement
Improvement
• All professionals want to improve
• It is expected
• Make a difference
• Transfer knowledge
• Everyone wants next year to be better
Much improvement is done by
projects
?
But what about the rest?
Business as usual (BAU)
We do it as part of BAU, in our “spare time”
Pros and cons
• We own the task
• Work on our own domain, reap the
benefits
• Small is beautiful
• Frustrating when the urgent trumps the
important
• So much to do, so little time
• Working in isolation
How do we coordinate that effort?
• Have a plan
• Empower staff
• Create teams
• Coordinate the work
• Executive support
Professionalism
How do we make the list of work
achievable?
