It is simply not possible to survive in today’s climate without continuously improving the way work is done.  \nOrganizations are faced with three challenges as they undertake process improvement:  \n1. The improvements they make have to be extensive. When competitors are improving their performance by  \n20 percent or more a year,“slow and steady” will not win the race. Now it has to be “quick and steady.”  \n2. Extensive improvement requires a cross-functional approach. Functional efforts can just go so far. Only when each function’s change effort is connected to the larger process, and the needs of the final consumer, can process improvement really succeed.  \n3. Process change requires a revolution in organizational culture. The changes created by process improvement will be more extensive than anyone had thought possible, and they will require a truly cross-functional perspective. As a result, most organizations will need to build a culture that is prepared to accept and foster the effort.  \nAccelerated Process Improvement gives managers and employees the skills, methods, and tools to meet these challenges head on. This system will enable everyone in your organization to pitch in and contribute to process improvement at the points where that help is most needed.  \nCourse Overview—Accelerated  \nProcess Improvement  \nThe API system is divided into the following three modules:  \nactivities. Exercises, presentations, and process improvement tools include “Strategy Selector,” “Process Selection Matrix,” “Relationship Diagram,” and “Developing Review Questions.”  \nTeam Leader Guide  \nThis module is designed to give team leaders the background and guidance they need to effectively lead teams. Working with the internally trained facilitators, team leaders will be able to ensure process improvement is successful.  \nImproving Work Processes  \nThis module prepares all employees to apply a five-phase process improvement template to analyze work processes, identify gaps in work process performance, and pursue breakthroughs in process performance. Exercises, presentations, and process improvement tools include“Cross-Functional Flowchart,” “Impact Wheel,” “Data Source Menu,” and “Measures Development Guide.”  \nODI can provide expert consulting support for your implementation of Accelerated Process Improvement. Specifically, we can work with your organization to:  \n• Coach and counsel senior-level process improvement teams;  \n• Plan, schedule, and prioritize your efforts to achieve breakthroughs in process performance;  \n• Identify the best in-house resources to deliver API training;  \n• Create unit, divisional, and on-site support structures for process improvement teams;  \n• Revise, review, and modify your process measurement systems.  \nLeading Process Improvement  \nThis module prepares managers to identify the most important improvement projects, select and support process improvement teams, determine when to start and stop team activity, and effectively review process improvement  \n\n| Accelerated Process Improvement (API) |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | ODI's Rapid Results Process-Improvement System |  |\n\nImplementing Accelerated Process Improvement  \nAchieve Rapid Results  \nLearn as you go, develop process expertise, cut classroom time in half, make process-improvement affordable and achieve rapid productivity increases.
