Different guys. Related messages. Put them together and you get an idea of the limitless potential for continuous improvement.

Here’s the deal: imagination isn’t just some fluffy, feel-good concept. It’s fuel. Real, reliable, organizational rocket fuel. And when you use it to power a routine, repeatable process for continuous improvement, the force can be enormous.

Most organizations get the general idea, but they fall short in how they apply it. They treat imagination like it’s reserved for the “smart people” and “creative types” – rarely for folks on the shop floor or in the call center.

But that’s where the action is. Every. Single. Day. Those people know where the friction and the bottlenecks are. They see what could be done better. They’ve got ideas. And if you give them a routine process where their imaginations can take flight, you’ll see improvements go from occasional to operational.

You don’t need more suggestion boxes gathering dust in the hallway. You need a living, breathing process where people know:

  • Their input matters

  • Their ideas won’t just disappear into a black hole

  • They’ll get support to put their ideas into action

Imagination becomes powerful when it’s part of the job. So if your goal is true, lasting, continuous improvement, don’t stop at “doing what works.” Give your team the green light to imagine what “could work better” – along with the systematic routine to make things happen.
