Four Conditions•Capability 1: Seeing problems as they occur!

•Complex work is managed so that problems in design are revealed •They see problems as they occur, through relentless testing of assumptions

• Capability 2: Swarming and solving problems as they are seen to build new knowledge!•Problems that are seen are solved so that new knowledge is built quickly •Improvement of daily work is prioritized above daily work

•Capability 3: Spreading new knowledge throughout the organization!•The new discovery of local knowledge and improvements are turned into global improvements, shared throughout the organization •Learning is fed back to prevent future failures

•Capability 4: Leading by developing!•The job of leaders is not the command and control, but to create other capable leaders who can perpetuate this system of work

"I intend to make Alcoa the safest

company in America. I intend

to go for zero injuries."
