There&#8217;s a frustration, right? Learning how to use some tools, there&#8217;s a frustration barrier. How can we help people break through that in a more timely fashion?<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;QI Macros&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/control-chart\/control-chart-wizard\/\">Control Chart Wizards<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/qi-macros\/wizards\/\">Stat Wizards<\/a> and other things help people break through that barrier of selecting a tool and getting a result and starting to do some analysis. That&#8217;s why I came up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/pdf\/Agile-Process-Innovation.pdf\">Agile Process Innovation<\/a>, right? Hacking Lean and Six Sigma for results. There are ways to go about this that will get us to the outcome we want in a much more timely fashion.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;So what can we do to help people break through that barrier &#8211; their frustration barrier &#8211; to get to the point where they start to feel competent and can start to do improvements? I&#8217;ve done it in a matter of hours with teams.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;I can tell you when there&#8217;s a guy sitting in the room and he&#8217;s got a John Deere hat on, he&#8217;s got a plug of chewing tobacco in his [cheek], and he&#8217;s got his laptop out and he&#8217;s starting to use QI Macros to analyze the data from the plant they work in, I [think] &#8220;All right! Through the frustration barrier!&#8221; Here was a guy I thought might not get through there and he did. Then he helped everybody else who was struggling.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;This is the thing: people help other people who struggle and help them get through the frustration barrier once THEY&#8217;VE been through it. What can you do to help people get through the frustration barrier about Quality Improvement?<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s my Improvement Insight.
