Principles of Quality Improvement

You don't have to be sick to get better. Every system or process, every person,
can be improved.

Good enough, isn't. The "if it's not broke, don't fix it mentality" promotes
mediocrity that evolves to inferiority.

If you're not getting better, you're probably getting worse. Systems that do not
adapt to changing circumstances not only become obsolete, often they become
counter-productive.

There can be no improvement without change and change is scary.

All change involves risk, but failure to change involves greater risk.

No system is more powerful than the people who create or manage it. Systems,
like belief patterns, are created by the human mind and they can always be
modified or abandoned by choice.

The quality of service cannot exceed the quality of the systems through which it
is delivered. Bad processes, confusing, irrational or out-of-date policies will yield
bad products and services; bad values yield bad choices.

Changing systems even slightly can be costly; not every improvement is worth
the cost.
