AcmePowerCo The Situation
About a year and a half ago, the CEO and his leadership team decided to implement Innovation Engineering by starting with Division X, where the GM was excited about being the first to give IE a try. By systematically executing a start-up plan to accelerate implementation, success came fast.
This led to a decision to expand and kick off IE in Division Y. The Division Y GM was excited about following on Division X’s success, but she and her team were inexperienced with IE and needed help.

A. Blue Card
B. Yellow Cards
CHECK LISTS are our standardized “game plans” for WHAT (standards), WHY (reasons), HOW (methods) Yellow Cards become reality. The aim of the check list process is to create alignment between leadership, employees & departments.
A strategic “Theory” on what is Very Important for our Organization’s short & long term success.Also known as the “Commanders Intent.”
Tactical “Theories” of a how we might accomplish the Commanders Intent (New or improved products, services or systems). Their only reason for existence is to deliver on the Blue Card.
This is process for how it all comes together when we are doing the work. It’s an iterative system that guides the work on the Yellow Cards by integrating the Commander’s Intent (Blue Card), with the organization’s “game plan” for change (Check Lists).
Our phases for increasing our investment in Yellow Cards.
