The department managers meet with you to discuss implementing a safety and quality process improvement process (PIP) within their departments. You have proficiency and experience in using quality processes as part of organizational change and development. But you want to use the most current and effective methods, hence you tell them you want to benchmark state-of-the-art organizational process improvements.

Write a 5 to 7 page report that you can bring to the next department-level meeting outlining what steps you will take to complete this project.

Research current methodologies as well as tools for improving organizational performance through quality improvement processes.
Prepare a high-level overview of methods, options, and recommendations for the types of methods and tools that you believe will be best suited to the situation.
