Process Improvement Principles

This is not a manifesto.

It looks a lot like a rather famous manifesto (the middle of it anyway) but it is not a manifesto.

This is just a set of principles that I've successfully applied in numerous personal and professional settings, always with good effect.

Pull is a better flow than Push

Continuous is more competent than Batch

Agreements are more negotiable than Orders
Brains per Task is more efficient than Tasks per Person

Improvement is a better goal than Compliance
Fail Now is cheaper than Fail Later

Simplicity works better than Discipline

Safety is best

May they serve you as well as they have served me so far.

Peace.
