M. Suggestion Scheme for ‘Bottom Up’ Improvement

Blue Buddies leadership has been persuaded by an external consultant that they are not using the intelligence in their organization effectively.  A series of employee mixed group meetings is proposed to generate “many small improvements that will add up to a lot”.  The project involves a 3 month launch identifying 150 co-coordinators of the 150 ‘mixed groups.  Thereafter, the coordinators will decide what suggestions should be implemented and in what order.  One person is appointed to coordinate all the projects from a central point.  This project is not as low cost as it may seem, since it takes a lot of employee time to initiate.

The cost of implementing this project is given in section 6.19.

Note. This corporate project cannot be implemented in Round Red. It becomes available for selection at the beginning of Round Blue-1.
