90
guiding principlesq
universal and enduring
91
Focus on value
everything an organisation does needs to link back to value - value comes in various forms

start where you are
identify existing items of value that can be reused before embarking on continual improvement

94
progress iteratively with feedback
feedback should be sought before during and after each iteration to keep actions - act, plan, check, do
95

98
keep it simple and practical
- check important elements are not removed - use minimum number of steps to achieve objective - start with uncomplicated approach then add to it
