Managing for Daily Improvement (MDI): Evolution Curve
Managing for Daily Improvement (MDI) follows an evolution curve as an organization implements the process. [1] The establishment phase focuses on preparing leadership and determining what successful implementation looks like. [2] As struggles arise around disengagement and complexity, the strategy shifts to making the process simple and employee-led. [3] Over time, with addressing of root causes and celebration of improvements, the culture changes to embrace continuous learning and see opportunities for improvement rather than fearing them.
