The Continuous Improvement Development System and PD

Policy Deployment is one of the first tools taught in our CI Development System for a reason. It does two main things.

It confirms that senior leaders are willing to commit to change. If they don't do it early on, they will likely waver later on down the road when there have been a lot of resources committed to developing a CI-oriented business system.

The other thing that PD does is sets the conditions for success in later phases. It acts as a contract and a highly visible commitment to lofty goals. It takes an 'all-in' approach to hit those goals.
