Spark improvement ideas

CI Options Generator

Sometimes the hardest part of continuous improvement is knowing where to start. The CI Options Generator combines your business areas with improvement factors — faster, easier, cheaper, simpler — to spark ideas you'd never reach by staring at a blank page, then turns each one into a tracked task.

Why it works

Never start from scratch

Combinations of areas and factors give you a structured prompt every time.

Capture the spark

Log the idea the moment it appears, with the area and factor that generated it.

Launch into action

Turn a promising idea into a tracked task without leaving the generator.

How it works

  1. 1

    Define your areas

    List the areas of the business you want to improve, e.g. 'dispatch' or 'onboarding'.

  2. 2

    Add improvement factors

    Choose factors like faster, easier, cheaper, or simpler to prompt thinking.

  3. 3

    Generate combinations

    The generator pairs areas with factors to prompt fresh improvement ideas.

  4. 4

    Launch the best

    Turn a strong idea into a tracked task and keep the rest for later.

Example use case

Find ideas a brainstorm missed

An accounts team used this tool to look for ways to reduce the customer payment times, something that was out of their control. The random combination was “Invoicing / Prettier”. They’d added ‘Prettier’ as a joke, but it generated an idea that dropped 20% off the lead time for payment. Result!

20%reduction in payment lead time
