GRI stands for Grass Roots Innovation. This is a unique Process Improvement methodology that puts front line employees in the drivers’ seat for finding and fixing the failure that is hidden in their day-to-day work flows. The end result is a motivated workforce, sustainable improvements in efficiencies, bottom-line profit and long-term culture change.
Process Improvement does not take PI experts to do all the work. Long-term, sustainable change will only occur when the front line is engaged and active in the improvement process. GRI equips the front line to do great PI work.
Although many PI specialists make big claims about millions in improved efficiencies, those improvements are rarely sustained past a few months. Why? The front line was never fully involved. Employees are most often heard saying, “If they had asked us, we would have told them that this won’t never work in the real world!”
GRI gets the front line fully engaged. Change is supported by them and long term sustainability is finally possible, not to mention a seriously motivated work force!
