Continuous Improvement with PDCA
The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, also known as the Deming Cycle, is a systematic series of steps for gaining valuable learning and knowledge for the continual improvement of a product, process, or service. We apply this iterative four-step management method to continuously improve our sales strategies and client outcomes.
Plan
Define the problem or opportunity, set objectives, and outline the actions required to achieve the desired outcome. This includes identifying resources and metrics for success.
Do
Implement the plan on a small scale or in a controlled environment. Collect data and observe the process, avoiding large-scale rollout before evaluation.
Check
Analyze the results against the objectives set in the 'Plan' phase. Evaluate the effectiveness of the changes, identify deviations, and understand the causes of success or failure.
Act
Based on the findings from the 'Check' phase, standardize successful changes or modify the plan and repeat the cycle to address new insights or unresolved issues.
