    Chapter 16. Power Tools for "Improve" Getting Better and Better

    Perhaps the biggest challenge in Improve is to keep from feeling a bit like Jekyll and Hyde as you bounce back and forth between creativity and practicality. The tools described in this chapter will help ease that transition by guiding your team both through creative brainstorming and detailed planning. The chapter covers the same steps described in Chapter 15:

    2. Cook the raw ideas.

    3. Select a solution.

    4. Pilot test and implement full-scale.
