Continuous Improvements were made 'official' in my company, by moving to Smart Sheets. This meant that employees can access the Smart Sheet through an app, leave a suggestion, and it will go in the Sheet, where the manager has to approve or deny it, with a reason. Sounds like a good idea, and that's why they did it. OBVIO.
I had experience making a CI suggestion before this novel idea (on a form, LOL), and it disapeared, without a decent answer. Another one of my CIs was hastily adopted AFTER the auditors read it, and asked why it had not been responded to.
Thing that I realized is: Auditors look at those CIs, because the suggestions are perceived to come from people that are 'on the ground', or 'on the coal-face', if you like. Those people know what they are talking about, and have legit ideas.
So, Smart Sheets has a history (my point, on the subject of papertrails). Which anyone can look at. Do you see the LOL-loophole for pepes? Of course I put in some nice CIs. LOLoL, cannot wait for the popcorn when auditors start wondering why no-one answered the suggestions (as is happening now). LOL. ROFL, even. And to be sure, they are real bona fida suggestions, not just lame darts thrown at the manager. But, it's a win.
isn't software so obedient, recording every access, and every retrieval or download.
Not so much software. SCIFs are everywhere. ✌️
In any case, there is a giant papertrail. Hmmmm.
Recently, I had a laff:
