Implementing and sustaining improvements

How can I make process improvements stick?

Embed your changes directly into Tallyfy workflows - don’t rely on training alone. A great improvement idea is only half the work. Rolling it out and keeping it going is where the DMAIC “Improve” and “Control” phases matter most.

Implementing changes effectively

Traditional training fails because of the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve - people forget 90% of what they learn within a week. Instead of relying on memory, build the new process right into the workflow.

How to do it in Tallyfy: Modify your procedure templates or document templates. Every new process launched from that template automatically uses the updated version. There’s no paper redistribution and no outdated copies floating around.

Sustaining improvements over time

Making improvements is one thing - making them last is another. Here’s how Tallyfy helps:

  • Standardization - When people run processes inside Tallyfy, they follow the new standard by default. Accidental deviations become much harder.
  • Visibility and monitoring - Use Tallyfy Analytics and the Tracker view to check whether people are following the new process and it’s delivering results (faster completion times, fewer errors, etc.).
  • Feedback loops - Use Tallyfy’s comment features to gather ongoing feedback. This lets your team flag issues and suggest tweaks, reinforcing a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Regular reviews - Schedule periodic reviews of key processes. Tallyfy’s data helps you spot whether things are still running well or if new bottlenecks have crept in.
