When Improvement Projects Don’t Progress

Improvement practitioners know the fear: you’ve done the work, you’ve found the solution… but your improvement project just doesn’t progress. The reality is that sometimes budget shifts, priorities change, stakeholders block. But stalled improvement projects aren’t wasted.

In this episode, Damion Albinson joins Susannah Clarke to unpack what you still gain when implementation doesn’t happen. From uncovering hidden quick wins, to spotting strategic misalignment early, to resetting how teams think about feasibility, Damion shows why these moments are some of the richest learning opportunities in the improvement cycle.
