We do this by mapping these. Kaizen: Japanese for "improvement", or "change for the better" refers to philosophy or practices that focus upon continuous improvement of processes in manufacturing, engineering, game development, and business management.

Have Faith in Yourself Believe you can and you're halfway there. Theodore Roosevelt Without faith nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible. Mary McLeod Bethune Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other. Abraham Lincoln

Make Mistakes It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
Aesop Fable: Wind and the Sun • The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming down the road, and the Sun said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveler to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveler. But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveler wrap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on. • Kindness effects more than severity

PRL’s Communication Plan Who - All personnel What - Define key messages When - Continuously Where - Department Meetings, staff meeting, performance plans, posters, newsletters Why - clear expectations; understanding how what we are doing today, contributes to our strategic direction; know what we have done has been effective; etc.
Communication Plan It is critical that Managing for Results is supported by Administration and the County Board. Olmsted County started implementing Managing for Results using the Balanced Scorecard in 2005. PRL completed their first Balanced Scorecard in late 2007. Skeptics thought that this may be the flavor of the month. However many of them have begun to embrace the concept over time. I have found that staff are energized by being informed about the big picture and how, “what they do”, contributes to the overall goals and objectives of the department and the county as a whole. There is feeling of being part of something larger than oneself. PRL developed and implemented the Balanced Scorecard as a Management Team Assistance from the Associate County Administrator. The following year we reworked the scorecard with non management personnel. This was very effective in improving understanding of the scorecard and Managing for Results as well as better buy in from Staff.
