Well, here we go again.

A new year.

A new set of resolutions.

A new, steadfast commitment to making them stick this time.

The sad truth, though, is most of those resolutions will be in the tank before long. And it’s not from a lack of sincere desire or earnest effort. The reason they don’t work comes down to ONE basic flaw:

They are focused on goals and outcomes without a strong support structure for staying on course.

Whether you’re pursuing a personal goal or a business one, it takes THREE elements for a reliable support structure to work:

• A routine process that guides behaviors in the desired direction

• A monitoring method that keeps score on progress

• A constructive accountability mechanism to keep from swerving off track

That’s more than a way to stick with a resolution. It’s the framework for sustaining systematic continuous improvement (SCI). And for any business that wants to get the most from SCI, itneeds to reach into every corner and touch every person in the organization.

Winning companies don’t rely on just the “smart people” in management to show the way – and they don’t leave it up to chance. They engage every employee in systematic routine processes for tapping their talent and their desire to improve the way work is done.
