Episode 69 - The War on Waste Paradox - Chapter 16 - Part 1 - Audio Book

A Consortium of Problem Solvers Podcast of Len Bertain's Audio Books

The creation of the CRB is an important part of this process. It is the way that we are able to insure a continuation of the process and move the company to the Quantum Leap Company. It is through the continuation of ideation (the process of generating ideas) and conversion ot the ideas to innovations that our clients are able to sustain this culture.
Recently, we have discarded the CRB because our Internet based video-teleconferencing found that there was another factor working here: The CEO's commitment to the on-going problem solving. We noted that earlier but the ability of our on-line system to capture the CEOs attention by making it easy to use it and track the progress of ideas progressing thru the company.

We have spent a lot of time trying to understand the company that evolves from this initial work of the War on Waste that we call the Quantum Leap Company. As we have created over 20 Quantum Leap companies, we have observed the following characteristics of each. And our Internet clients have all (100% of them) become Quantum Leap Companies and follow the following steps. That they do, was an amazing discovery.

Step 1: Lead the WOW Program. The CEO agrees to participate, lead the War on Waste Program (you could elect to use any number of programs that encourage the input from employees in a change initiative) and follow the procedures of change defined by it. The CEO leads this change initiative, the Phase 0 initiative, and does not pass the responsibility to others. Certainly others may be commissioned to help but the responsibility falls directly on the CEO.
