Less than 20% of companies implementing any form of Lean related improvement programme manage to achieve worthwhile results. Effectively, 80% or more of companies fail to complete the Lean Marathon!My experiences of working with a wide range of manufacturing and service sectors companies who have suffered problems with their improvement programmes has led me to the realisation that to be truly successful at implementing any form of improvement programme (including Lean) and achieve sustainable results in the medium to long-term, an organisation must di

19. Try proposing a project that puts a fresh spin on an existing idea -- be innovative, creative and educational. Private foundations often seek creative solutions to problems/needs, but they usually do not wish to fund risky projects.
20. Have an evaluation plan. Grantors want to know if the projects they fund are successful--that your project is meeting its goals.
21. Formulate your plan. Begin with a written account of the project's:
· background. Document the need for your project with demographics, test results, and anecdotal evidence.
· goals and objectives. Make sure they are specific and measurable.
· mission statement. Identify the project’s potential outcome.
· planned assessment tool(s). Be specific.
· required materials, supplies, and personnel.
· timeline.
· total cost.
22. The proposal must be written in sufficient detail to allow reviewers to understand:
· evaluation and dissemination plans;
· if the project personnel have the necessary expertise to accomplish the goals and objectives;
· the impact and cost effectiveness of the project;
· the potential of the project to improve people’s lives; and
· what the project hopes to accomplish.
23. If your project is rejected, ask the grantor for reviewer comments. The comments can offer invaluable tips for improving your future grant applications.
24. Write a ‘thank you note’ - even if your project is not funded initially.
25. Never give up. With each proposal that is declined, you gain more expertise -- which makes it more likely that your next proposal will be accepted.
