ABSTRACT

The "improved" idea will overcome some of the prior inertia of the obstacles and issues that seemed to exist. If the idea is really good and accepted by many people, then the evolution of the idea continues. Each new level of improvement removes more of the obstacles from the previous level, and each new level is presented as a form of unification of ideas from the previous level. The Interference Diagram (ID)structure and concepts are very simple, and yet very powerful in the results provided. The combined thinking power of the ID/Intermediate Objectives Map is referred to as the Simplified Strategy and will enable an effective strategy, and detailed implementation plan, to be developed. The objective has to be at a level high enough to include the many. However, with that said, it is also important to understand that good strategy development can happen within a specific organization, such as Engineering, Procurement or Manufacturing.
