8.7.4 Seven-Step Improvement Process<br />

There is just one process in the CSI lifecycle phase. The seven-step improvement process<br />

is based on the PDCA cycle and is derived from the CSI approach (both were discussed<br />

earlier in the chapter).<br />

The seven steps also follow the knowledge management’s data-informationknowledge-wisdom<br />

model, called the knowledge spiral, because the activities are set to<br />

be performed in cycles.<br />

As mentioned earlier, CSI stretches across the other four lifecycle phases and can be<br />

triggered in any of the phases to identify and implement improvements. Figure 8-5 shows<br />

the steps involved in the seven-step improvement process. The details of the process are<br />

discussed in the sections below.<br />
