CONCLUSIONS ∠ It is good to attempt ambitious process improvements: – Can require substantial efgort and co-ordination. – May throw up novel challenges that require thoughtful solutions. – Benefits are significant and long-lasting. ∠ But quick wins are just as worth pursuing: – May not look impressive, but repeated small benefits add up. – Time savings, less irritation . . .
