Steve Jobs on Continuous Improvement

In the first episode of our process improvement playlist, Steve Jobs discusses how quality processes are formed by questioning what a company does and why they do it that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can someone with no prior knowledge on process improvement start implementing these playlists in their organization?

Someone with no prior knowledge on process improvement can start implementing these playlists in their organization, first by familiarizing themselves with the concepts and methodologies detailed in the playlists. They should take the time to understand the principles of process improvement. Having basic knowledge of this will help them understand how these strategies can be applied in their organization. Additionally, they can take advantage of training courses or webinars related to these playlists, if available. It would also be beneficial to involve other team members in the learning process for collaborative understanding and implementation.

Is there any preferred order in which to explore these playlists or can they be used randomly based on individual needs?

You can explore these playlists based on your organization’s individual needs or challenges. There’s no need to follow a specific order. Starting with basic concepts of process improvement, however, could be beneficial before diving into more specific methodologies like Six Sigma or Scrum. This approach ensures you have a comprehensive understanding of the foundational concepts, which can potentially lead to a more effective application of these methodologies in your organization.

Besides Six Sigma and Scrum, what other methodologies can be explored using these playlists for process improvements?

In addition to Six Sigma and Scrum, these playlists can also assist you in understanding other process improvement methodologies such as Lean, Agile, and Kaizen. Lean works on minimizing waste, Agile allows for quick adjustments, and Kaizen, a Japanese philosophy, promotes continuous improvements across all levels of an organization. By studying these playlists, you can choose the best-fitted methodology for your business needs and even consider combining them for a comprehensive approach.
