Go beyond "tool competency"

Understand the underlying principles of this discipline

Personalize learning to gain deeper insights

Increase ability to communicate LSS techniques

Change behaviors that are hindering growth (KBI)

Expand your ability to apply techniques in a variety of circumstances and situations

Increase thinking "outside the box" or even "off the page"

Charter Example

Business Case

Overall quality of life is related to a multitude of factors. Good

health is critical for ensuring that long term life experiences can

be achieved and enjoyed. A deterioration in health over time

may be inevitable but some aspects can be avoided. If possible,

Problem Statement

Increase weight is one key indicator to overall health. Therefore, the lack of ability to lose weight and keep off the weight is of paramount importance.

Goal Statement

By the end of ninety (90) days lose at least 10% of current body weight. In addition, a maintenance system to ensure that this situation will not be repeated.

(Could be measured by overall weight, BMI, size of wardrobe)

Scope

In Scope:

Personal Health concerns, including calorie intake, level of exercise, basic sleep and relaxation techniques.

Out of Scope:

Other personal issues that may be related to weight gain but are not directly controlled by me.

Elk Cessation Plan

DOE – Bullets

LIP Project: Elk Cessation Plan

Business Case

I am participating in a hunt in September in the mountains of

Montana. Among the many things needed in preparation for this

trip is an ability to successfully climb the mountains in order to get

to where the elk/mule deer are and to be able to position myself

successfully. In order to be effective on the hunt, I must be fit

enough to get into position in a timely manner while carrying the

appropriate gear.

Problem Statement

Currently, I am out of shape and will not be able to keep up with the guide. In addition, my weight is a factor as I am too fat and will need to lose weight in order to replace that weight with gear on the hunt.

Goal Statement

My primary goal is to be able to climb 50 flights of stairs on the stair stepper at the gym at a rate of 1 stair per second before I have to stop. My secondary goal is to lose fat equivalent to 10% of my body weight.

In addition, in order to continue to be successful, I must create a control plan that is effective at keeping the secondary goal .

Scope

In Scope: Exercise programFood intake (quantity & quality)Daily routineOut of Scope:Rifle abilityClothing/gear preparations
