In November 2018 the Ecosystem Coordination Board (ECB) agreed that developing "kaizen" mechanisms in Puget Sound recovery could be useful for improving how we do ecosystem management. We have been given the opportunity to develop an inter-agency kaizen system in Puget Sound, and the ECB agreed that the "coordination community" would be the appropriate workforce for designing this kind of effort. If empowered with adequate capacity, we would be positioned to implement. We have formed a temporary volunteer workgroup from within the "coordination community", staffed by NOAA Restoration Center. This workgroup has agreed to a plan by which we'll rapidly stand up a rudimentary but functioning continuous improvement process. We envision a four step system:
Our assumption is that continuous improvement of the Ecosystem Recovery System is not really optional--all business models require some kind of kaizen; we just don't do it well. Kaizen can be achieved by organizing existing resources and efforts. We will test Steps 1 and 2 of the above proposed system in the Summer and Fall of 2019. We will bring our improvement proposals and system designs back to the ECB and affected institutions in winter, and aspire to work on steps 3 and 4 through the 2020 project development season.
