Everyone at the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is encouraged to identify opportunities to make improvements to their workplaces and work processes, every day. These Lean Everyday Ideas (LEI) are innovations and improvements where one person (or a small group of people) will:
Identify a problem or opportunity
Develop an innovative way of doing something better to solve that problem or seize upon that opportunity
Implement the improvement and let others know about it so that they can "borrow" the innovation too!
These innovations and ideas are the embodiment of "everyone, every day, improving every process and every product, to benefit every customer." Read the origin story of the Lean Everyday Ideas program at CDOT.
Thank you, innovators!
The Lean Everyday Ideas Program was named a Top 25 Program for the 2018 Innovation in American Government Award by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard University!
Thank you for being an innovator! Your contribution and improvement will not only improve your work, it will help others with similar processes, services and products!
If you submit a Concept, the Concept to Project (C2P) Team will be in touch soon. If you submit a Suggestion, the C2P Team will let the owner of that process, product or service know about your suggestion and you can work together to improve it!
