How to define Continuous Improvement? Small steps matter, especially when they’re all taken in the same direction. And there are plenty of examples of innovations that have made a difference – not through a sudden big bang but, instead, through a slow, continuous attack on a problem. Driving incremental improvements may seem like taking only small steps, but those small steps combined can add up to big change.

Don’t judge a book by its cover or a process by its name. The design sprint is not just about design, not only for designers, nor it has anything to do with running. But it has plenty to do with guiding a team in the right guiding a team’s innovation efforts. A problem, after all, is at the core of good design and successful innovation. And that’s exactly what a sprint is meant to do – solve a well-defined problem.

In one of my favorite essays the physicist Richard Feynman wrote “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that.” He goes on further to say that simply being honest isn’t enough, you also need to “bend over backwards” to provide information so that others may prove you wrong.
