Why use your Customization Log?

There are dozens of good reasons for personalizing your Systems2win templates, but your tools for continuous improvement should continuously improve, right?

Wouldn't it be embarrassingly ironic if your tools for continuous improvement got "stuck" and stopped improving?

All because you personalized a few tools long ago when you claimed to be so "busy" and sloppy that you neglected to take the few moments to jot down a ten-second note about what you did?

Using your Customization Log makes it so much easier to keep up with the latest versions of your continuously improving tools for continuous improvement.

How to use your Customization Log

Your CustomizationLog.xls template can be found in the same way that you find any Systems2win template,
but you need to store your Systems2win Customization Log working document somewhere where your team members can quickly find and use it whenever they make any change to any master Systems2win template.

Like every Systems2win Excel template, there are concise instructions for how to use the template in the template's Sample and Help pages.

It is only a simple 5-column spreadsheet... but if you actually USE IT, it can make the difference between a Class A Continuous Improvement Program and "just another one of management's failed programs".

It is easy. We can't emphasize it enough. Whenever you personalize any Systems2win master template - make an entry in your Customization Log.
