Who Should Use Phase 1 Information

Phase 1 is very unique. It is the phase where people are getting grounded in their understanding of continuous improvement and how they want to try to move forward.

Most people don't know they are in our Phase 1 when they first begin their journey. They may be looking in different sources and exploring other information.

Once you do find our system, though, and decide it is for you, there are a few things that you should accomplish before you start moving on to the next Phase.

So, that is who you really are. Phase 1 users are the people who have decided to see what we have to offer, and want to prepare to move to the commitment phase where you go beyond thinking about CI, and start taking concrete steps.

When is Phase 1 Used?

Phase 1 Timeline

Phase 1 is the 'Introduction & Exploration' phase, so you often enter it without even knowing you are in it. The premise is that whether you have read our content or not, you are still starting on some of the main activities of this phase, namely starting the build an understanding of what continuous improvement is, and what to expect.

Moving On

Leaving Phase 1, however, requires active steps. Use our checklist and leader's guide to identify what you need to accomplish and determine the next steps. This is best done with our CI Toolkit for Leaders.
