Continious improvement

There's a concept in operations management called continuous improvement.

One approach is

Plan: Identify an opportunity and plan for change.

Do: Implement the change on a small scale.

Check: Use data to analyze the results of the change and determine whether it made a difference.

Act: If the change was successful, implement it on a wider scale and continuously assess your results. If the change did not work, begin the cycle again.

I prefer a slightly different approach for a continuous improvement plan in poker.

Plan Identify a potential problem area or opportunity for improvement.

Analyze Collect data and make observations to determine the extent of the problem or opportunity and potential improvement

Implement If the potential for improvement exists then make changes

Evaluate changes If the change doesn't result in improvement then redo the process to make sure you correctly identified the problem/opportunity.
