Importance of PDCA?
PDCA creates the little “i” of innovation
PDCA
for the
Lean Engagement
Team
The only competitive advantage you have
is the rate at which you learn from your
customers.
Positioning your organization in your customer’s
playground is the most important role marketing has.
Marketing with PDCA
PDCA = Knowledge Creation
• Knowledge is limited at
beginning
• Key information not known
• Feedback to justify hypotheses
• Customers changes mind
• Each cycle closer to the goal
PDCA is a Call to Action
Start with a problem that you don’t have the current
knowledge to solve.
What don’t I understand that I need to learn?
What change do I need to see?
Close the knowledge gap
before closing the performance gap.

PDCA uses 7 Basic Tools
• Affinity diagram: organizes a large number of ideas into their natural
relationships.
• Relations diagram: shows cause-and-effect relationships and helps you
analyze the natural links between different aspects of a complex situation.
• Tree diagram: breaks down broad categories into finer and finer levels of
detail, helping you move your thinking step by step from generalities to
specifics.
• Matrix diagram: shows the relationship between groups of information and
can give information about the relationship, strengths, the roles played or
measurements.
• Matrix data analysis: a complex mathematical technique for analyzing
matrices, often replaced in this list by the similar prioritization matrix.
• Arrow diagram: shows the required order of tasks in a project or process, the
best schedule for the entire project, and potential scheduling, problems and
solutions.
• Process decision program chart (PDPC): systematically identifies what
might go wrong in a plan under development.
