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 Step 1 and 2 of the above proposed system in the Summer and Fall of 2019. We will bring our improvement proposals and system design back to the ECB and affected institutions in winter, as we prepare for the 2020 project development season.
The VocabularyTo understand what we are talking about, it is important to know how we are using words to represent specific concepts. Some of these words refer to specific parts of our social-political system. Others are borrowed from manufacturing theory.
