• Analyze verified causes and develop future-state alternatives.
• Improve through solution design, prioritization, pilots, standard work, training, and implementation planning.
• Control through KPIs, control plans, governance, audits, visual management, response plans, and transition to process owners.
• Develop a sequenced transformation roadmap with quick wins, pilots, dependencies, resource needs, risks, owners, and expected benefits.
