Everyone likes a good annual review. Here's one I received as a process improvement leader.  I'm humbled.

1.  Assigned projects and activities beyond key job responsibilities - Contributions toward company’s strategic initiatives

Special Projects
Ed has become recognized throughout the company as a knowledgeable process improvement leader. He is sought out for various projects and provides solid process recommendations.

Best Practices & Procedures
Ed recognizes the need to introduce new concepts in ways that do not threaten or disrupt the situation. In this way Ed is able to guide the appropriate resources to manage change effectively instead of forcing change upon unprepared associates.

Improved Tools and Methodologies
Ed has initiated many process improvement discussions that have led to an overall awareness of process & procedure in the organization. The awareness that Ed creates has prompted more thoughtful analysis of our processes and a better understanding about how those processes help and/or hinder us on a day to day basis. In this way Ed is cultivating the soil for more comprehensive process reforms in the future.

Perform Project Tasks Productively
Ed manages his time well and consistently delivers his work in a timely manner. This is especially notable when Ed is asked to perform a job on short notice. He has frequently been asked to prepare something quickly and it is always delivered in a form that doesn’t look as if it was thrown together at the last minute.

2.  Organizational Competencies – Behaviors, skills and knowledge expected from all associates

Communication

Dependability

Ed takes advantage of any situation where he finds an opportunity to discuss his passion for process improvement. He maintains contact with individuals from across the organization and has frequently organized opportunities to bring people together (i.e. lunches) to discuss process improvement. 

3. Job Family Competencies – The knowledge and skills as defined in a job family

 Leadership

Ed demonstrates leadership in many forms. He frequently leads from the front when driving a process improvement initiative. But he is more often leading from the back by assisting a project leader or manager. Ed is able to contribute valuable insight and knowledge to assigned leaders to help them direct project to a better outcome with respect to process decisions.

Decision-Making
