Continuous Improvement Workshop - Standard Grant ApplicationAs part of our development process we have selected a potential high value claim of waste, and improvement concept to evaluate. We are hosting an initial workshop among those staff most involved in the processes of concern: CLAIM OF WASTE: As part of the funding decision, grant programs each require similar (but slightly different) applications to describe project proposals, causing local teams to expend labor re-describing a project and potentially stimulating waste in redundant application, administration of discrepant contracts, and redundant reporting. WHO: This workshop is for staff that either generate and run grant RFP processes, or generate grant applications. Please RSVP. WHERE: Snohomish County, ##ROOM##, 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Everett, WA 98201 WHEN: Friday, October 19, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM REQUIRED PRE-BRIEFING: Tuesday, October 15, 1:00-3:00 PM – This WebEx pre-briefing is necessary so that you arrive at the workshop knowing context and able to fully participate. A video of the pre-briefing will be made available if you are unable to attend the pre-briefing live. Please RSVP Prototype ApproachIn 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 agreed that the "coordination community" would be the right group for designing this kind of effort, and understanding whether new capacity is required. We have formed a temporary volunteer workgroup from within the "coordination community", staffed by NOAA Restoration Center. This workgroup is implementing a rudimentary but functioning continuous improvement process. We envision a four step approach:
Our assumption is that continuous improvement of the Ecosystem Recovery System is not optional--our systems are particularly cumbersome and likely to benefit from Kaizen. 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 early winter, and aim to work on steps 3 and 4 through the 2020 project development season.
The VocabularyThere is lots of lingo above. It is useful to know how we are using words to represent specific concepts:.
