Process Improvement & CI Coaching

Turn Continuous Improvement Into a Repeatable Management Habit.

Your Presto coach works with the team on real operating processes, helping people map how work actually flows, identify waste, understand root causes and turn workshop insight into owned, governed improvement.

Practical CI coaching, not classroom theory. Bring the real process. Walk through it together. Map it, challenge it and leave with improvement actions the team owns.

See the work clearly. Find the waste. Understand the cause. Turn the insight into governed improvement.
Learn by Improving Real Work

Use the Coaching Session to Make Progress on the Process.

The coach facilitates structured improvement exercises using the client's real operating processes. The aim is to build capability while producing useful outputs that the team owns and continues after the session.

01

Observe the Work

Walk through the current process with the people closest to it and understand how the work actually operates today.

02

Map & Analyze Together

Use SIPOC, process mapping, TIMWOODS and root-cause techniques to make flow, handoffs, waste and recurring problems visible.

03

Turn Insight Into Action

Agree practical improvements, assign ownership and use Presto to govern the follow-through rather than leaving actions in workshop notes.

Bring the Real Process

Coach the Process, Not Just the Tool.

A session can begin with the process that is actually causing frustration: unclear handoffs, repeated waiting, rework, unnecessary approvals, overloaded queues, poor standardization or a problem that keeps returning.

The objective is not simply to fill in a template. It is to help the team see the work differently and use the right improvement discipline for the problem in front of them.

SIPOC & Process MappingClarify suppliers, inputs, process steps, outputs, customers and ownership so the team can see the end-to-end flow.
TIMWOODS Waste AnalysisChallenge waiting, movement, overprocessing, defects and other forms of waste that have become accepted as normal.
5 WHY & Root CauseMove beyond the visible symptom and structure the conversation around the underlying drivers of the problem.
PDCA & Follow-ThroughConvert improvement ideas into governed actions, owners, dates and checks so the learning continues after the session.

What the Coach Watches For

Catch Improvement Habits That Make Teams Solve the Wrong Problem.

Continuous improvement weakens when teams jump to solutions too quickly, map an ideal process instead of the real one, or generate actions without enough ownership and follow-through.

01
Unclear Process BoundariesIs it clear where the process starts, ends and who the real customer is?
02
Hidden HandoffsWhere is work waiting, bouncing between functions or becoming unclear between owners?
03
Normalized WasteWhich delays, rework loops or unnecessary steps have become accepted as simply how work is done?
04
Symptom FixingIs the team addressing the visible issue or understanding why it keeps happening?
05
Weak Improvement OwnershipAre actions clearly assigned with dates, accountability and a way to check whether they worked?
06
Poor SustainmentHas the improved way of working been built into standard work and recurring management routines?

Learn Through the Improvement Work

Turn TIMWOODS Observations Into Prioritized Improvement Opportunities.

The coach teaches teams how to identify waste in the real process, capture each opportunity directly in Presto and size the potential benefit so managers can compare opportunities, prioritize the right improvements and build a stronger improvement pipeline.

Identify & Classify the WasteUse TIMWOODS to recognize transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, over-processing, over-production, defects and skills-related waste that has become embedded in everyday work.
Capture It in PrestoRecord the opportunity on the Presto dashboard with a clear description, process context, waste category and supporting evidence so the observation becomes visible and governable.
Size the Potential BenefitEstimate time saved, cost reduction, capacity released or other measurable benefit so the opportunity can be compared with other improvement ideas using consistent reporting.
Prioritize & Launch ImprovementUse the benefits-sizing view to focus management attention on the opportunities with the strongest potential value, then move the selected items into PDCA with owners, actions, dates and follow-through.

Who Benefits Most?

For the People Expected to Improve How Work Gets Done.

The coaching is designed for leaders and practitioners who need to build improvement capability while making progress on real operating processes.

Primary

Team Leaders

Build confidence spotting waste, improving handoffs and turning everyday operating problems into structured improvement actions.

Primary

Operations Managers

Use process mapping, root cause and PDCA to improve recurring operational problems and strengthen management routines.

Also Valuable

CI & OpEx Practitioners

Develop facilitation, analysis and sustainment habits while using Presto as the system for governed improvement follow-through.

Weekly or Bi-Weekly Rhythm

Stay Close Enough to Keep Improvement Moving.

The recurring coaching rhythm gives the coach enough proximity to understand the process being improved, review homework and agreed actions, and challenge whether the new way of working is beginning to stick.

Over time, the conversation naturally evolves from learning improvement methods to building a repeatable internal continuous-improvement discipline.

Customer Story · Practical Improvement Coaching
“The strongest sessions are the ones where we bring a real process problem and work through it together. The coaching helps us slow down, understand what is really happening and leave with actions the team can actually own and follow through.”

The Outcome

Better Improvement Habits Should Produce Better Processes.

The objective is not simply more workshops or more improvement terminology. It is a stronger operating discipline around how teams see waste, understand problems, test changes and sustain the improved way of working.

01

Clearer Process Flow

Teams build a common understanding of how work actually moves across people and functions.

02

Better Waste Visibility

Managers become more capable at seeing delay, rework and unnecessary activity that was previously accepted as normal.

03

Stronger Root Cause

Improvement conversations move beyond symptoms and toward the reasons problems keep recurring.

04

Owned Improvement

Actions have clear accountability, timing and governance rather than disappearing after the workshop.

05

More Capable CI Leaders

Team Leaders, Operations Managers and CI practitioners build practical improvement capability through real work.
