But what does that mean? This will allow your group to create Improvement Management Process teams for itself or to assess government and private groups with bridge-building sophistication. It will identify needs, document tasks, do key-event flows, create self-managing groups, turbo-charge your to-do list, highlight best practices, focus management, teach metrics, implement a strategic plan, develop a one-time 'auto-budget' and reduce friction dramatically.This is what Libertarian managers have used to create a more open process in government, business, co-ops, unions, and Libertarian groups.
