Established in 2020, the Gear Field Team is a community comprised of Continuous Improvement Practitioner training program graduates.  With nearly one-hundred members representing 14 State organizations, and the Judicial Branch, the team is delivering value through the execution of dozens of projects that leverage the skills and tools of continuous improvement, which include project management, business process analysis, and change management.

As the GEAR Field Team’s efforts have evolved, additional focus areas have emerged with a business process management sub-team being formed, as well as a project management sub-team under development.  Overall, the GEAR Field Team continues to leverage industry best practices to develop the skills of its membership base as the number of projects and continuous improvement trainees increase.

The business process management sub-team focuses on sharing best practices in the use of process analysis tools, techniques, and establishing a playbook to enhance the ability of State employees to effectively implement process mapping, identify waste, and streamline business processes.  The project management sub-team will be established to share best practices in the domain of predictive, adaptive, and hybrid project management techniques, as well as to serve as the core subject matter experts to consult on development of the GEAR Project Management Playbook.
