3 pillars of a successful culture of improvement (Part 2)

The last pillar of a successful culture of innovation is “Technology”.

Technology allows leaders to participate in the improvement process and allows them to provide a simple, consistent and disciplined improvement method without taking them too much time.

Through technology, employees easily send out ideas for improvement, and leaders easily capture information, quickly provide support and guidance. Leaders not only easily participate in the improvement process but also increase their understanding of each improvement and address areas of interest just before they lead to waste of resources.

Technology provides a unique place to find all the improved information, a unique method of recording information, ensuring files are organized, easy to find and update. All of this simplifies the process for both managers and employees.

Innovation management software, if it is simple enough for all employees to use, and powerful enough to bring true value to leaders and improvement professionals will help any organization create and maintain. A culture of continuous improvement. Such management platforms facilitate transparency, accountability, and collaboration. Even the leadership’s software deployment action proves employees a commitment to the improvement approach, by providing a platform specifically built to support innovation, thereby promoting organization’s improvement culture.

Technology supports continuous improvement in many ways. It helps workers easily seize and implement improvement opportunities. It helps improve work with smart alerts and notifications, and provides a dashboard for managers to track the progress of improvement projects. It also gives executives a look at the progress of the entire organization. Multi-functional collaboration is easier when everyone has a platform to communicate around improvement work. It also acts as a knowledge repository for organizational improvement, breaking down barriers and ensuring that each innovation has a lasting and widespread impact. Perhaps most importantly, it allows measuring the effectiveness of improvement.

There are certainly other factors that influence the success of building a culture of continual improvement, but the three pillars are the basis for a successful and sustainable improvement approach.
