Tennessee Heroes of the Flags

Posted by craigastevens@westbrookstevens.com | Art |

Although these are Tennesseans, they represent service men...

As explained in our first post “Practicing the Three Phases of Improvement!“, a Process Improvement Exercise has three important and necessary phases, 1) The Assessment Phase, 2) Problem Solving Phase, and 3) Implementation Phase.
