You can't sneak continuousimprovement teams in under the radar. Even one CI team needs some kind of corporateblessing. The risk to the culture is huge because you've come out publicly thatthings are going to change and get better. And there are lots of street-smart peopleout there that can smell an onion even when you call it a rose. Chances are goodthat they've heard it all before somewhere, maybe even in your business. But thepayback potential is high. Over and over again, businesses have proved that smallgroups of people who are close to the process can make tremendous improvements ifthey are properly trained and equipped to execute."Ready access to real-time data is high on my list of "must have" ingredients for thesuccessful CI team. - something important to work on- knowledge of the process- knowledge of statistical problem solving methods- leadership supportMiller insists, "If ready access to real-time data isn't on this list, you need toadd it.
