The 7 Levels of Change
A STRATEGY FOR CREATIVITY, INNOVATION
AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT


Einstein pointed out that "The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level we were at when we created them." To get different results -- change -- we must do things differently. The framework of this model is divided into seven distinct levels -- from easy to impossible - across a spectrum of continual change (continuous innovation) over increasing levels of difficulty.

LEVEL 1:EffectivenessDOING the right things
LEVEL 2:EfficiencyDOING things right
LEVEL 3:ImprovingDOING things better
LEVEL 4:CuttingStopping DOING things
LEVEL 5:CopyingDOING things other people are doing
LEVEL 6:DifferentDOING things no one else is doing
LEVEL 7:ImpossibleDOING things that can't be done

Each level is progressively more complex, more difficult to undertake that the preceding level. Consider the 7 Levels of Change in the context of moving into a new job or a new business activity to which you have not before been exposed.
