Many organizations struggle with their continuous improvement (CI) efforts; achieving real bottom line results, whether in cost savings or increased revenues, has proven to be difficult. In spite of the widespread implementation of Lean and Six Sigma principles, poor results persist.
The TLS process generates 15-20 times better performance than Lean or Six Sigma. This presentation will show the root causes of poor CI program performance and a systematic framework to create ongoing bottom line results.

28. The Reasons for Unsatisfactory Results? Projects not geared towards the bottom line (phantom cost savings) Lack of focus Emphasis on tools, not results Lack of leadership of CI Process No structure to reinforce improvements or manage improvement process Accountability for sustained improvements is not clear No alignment with global goals or strategy Teams are “self-directed”, not led TLS Process Addresses the Core Problems http://pinnacle-strategies.com 28

Diffused arches(Intermediate)To reproduce the shape effects on this slide, do the following:On the Home tab, in theSlides group, click Layout, and then click Blank.On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Shapes, and then under Lines click Curve (tenth option from the left). On the slide, click three points to draw a simple curved line, double-clicking the final point to finish. Select the curved line. On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click the arrow next to Shape Fill, point to Gradient, and then click More Gradients. In the Format Shape dialog box, click Fill in the left pane, select Gradient fill in the Fill pane, and then do the following:In the Type list, select Linear.Click the button next to Direction, and then click Linear Down (first row, second option from the left).Under Gradient stops, click Add or Remove until two stops appear in the drop-down list.Also under Gradient stops, customize the gradient stops that you added as follows:Select Stop 1 from the list, and then do the following:In the Stop position box, enter 0%.Click the button next to Color, and then underTheme Colorsclick White, Background 1 (first row, first option from the left). In the Transparency box, enter 50%.Select Stop 2 from the list, and then do the following: In the Stop position box, enter 100%.Click the button next to Color, and then underTheme Colorsclick White, Background 1 (first row, first option from the left).

What is TLS?

What is your “hit-rate” EXPECTATION for making “Change = Improvement”?What is your CURRENT REALITY for making “Change=Improvement”?Is there a GAP between YOUR Expectation and Current Reality?Could it be that there is a simple LAW that governs whether a CHANGE=IMPROVEMENT for the System as a whole?
What is the chance of change = improvement in the traditional approach?
What should our expectation be of change = improvement in the systems approach?
Industry Week Survey 2007
As cited by LEI in 2007 Survey of lean implementers. Note that unrealized financial value ranks very low in obstacles, indicating the practitioners themselves do not understand the source of the resistance. Moreover, this demonstrates a disconnect between the practitioners and management; emphasizing tool adoption over results achievement.
An Empirical Investigation of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Causal ModelDarryl D. Wilson David A. Collier Sam Walton College of Business AdministrationThe objective of this research is to test the theory and causal performance linkages implied by the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA). The survey instrument used a comprehensive set of 101 questions that were directly tied to specific criteria in the 1995 MBNQA Criteria. Results reported here represent the first published article that tests the MBNQA performance relationships and causal model using comprehensive measurement and structural models.
