Step 2: Measure as many aspects of important activities as possible, in as many ways as possible. Each one teaches you something. Step 3: Use the measurements to locate the best way that anyone has ever performed these important activities (the current best practice) and anticipate where this effectiveness will reach in the next five years (the future best practice). Step 4: Move to implement beyond the future best practice. Step 5: Estimate the theoretical best practice (the best that anyone could ever do with current technology and knowledge). Step 6: Approach the theoretical best practice as nearly as possible in the short term so that you can move beyond today's best practice to an even better practice. Step 7: Match the people and the incentives to the key tasks. Step 8: Keep repeating the process. Let us know how you are doing! Learn the Process, Teach the Process and Do this Assignment.
