Review your results.

Use your results as “real‐time” information for evaluating and improving your products/services and processes.

Decide what you are and are not doing well.

• Revisit your customer expectations as well as important product, service, operational, and organizational requirements.
• Assess key process paths and enabling processes; then use those results to drive improvement activities.
• Revisit sections 1–7 of “Foundations for a Successful Business.” Assess how well you are doing in those areas.

Decide what you should improve or change.

• Establish a prioritized list of improvements.
• Improvements should include both steps to solve results issues and steps to build on strengths.
• Decisions should be related to your organization’s strategic plan and should serve as input to possible revisions in that plan.
