Developing a Robust Process for Improvement
Part 4 of 4: Improving at Improving
The fill-in-the-blank form that I (Alaina) presented in part 3 may be useful as a robust process for improvement. Really, its usefulness relies on having your own personal knowledge and experience about strategies you might use to improve.
And now I get metacognitive when I say: the more knowledge you have about the process of improvement, the more you can improve your process of improvement. So, the last post in this series is a list of related reading on the topic of improving your process of improvement. Enjoy!
