Captured Where the Idea Is
An improvement proposed on a unit, in a round, or during an audit is logged where it happens rather than remembered until the next meeting. The person who thought of it stays attached to it.
Capture an improvement anyone proposes, score it the way you score a risk, and give it an owner and a review date. Track what it was supposed to deliver and whether it did, against the quality objectives it was meant to serve.


The reason opportunities go nowhere is that nobody scores them, nobody owns them and nobody checks. Give them the same three things your risks already have.
An improvement proposed on a unit, in a round, or during an audit is logged where it happens rather than remembered until the next meeting. The person who thought of it stays attached to it.
Opportunities are ranked on impact and effort with the same discipline as risk scoring, so the list has a top and the top is arguable. A list with no order is a parking lot.
Every opportunity has a name and a date on it. An unowned opportunity is a note; an owned one with a review date is a commitment that shows up on somebody’s queue.
Connect an opportunity to the objective it serves, so improvement work is visibly in service of something the organization already said it wanted rather than being a separate list.
An opportunity closes against what it was supposed to change, the same way a corrective action does. What was promised, what happened, and whether the two match.
When something works, it is worth recording as something to spread rather than something that happened once on one unit. The record is the mechanism for spreading it.
Clara notices the good news. She finds the improvements buried in audit results, rounding forms and closed corrective actions that nobody thought to write down as opportunities, and proposes them for your register. You decide what enters it, the same rule the risk register runs on.

Clara proposes; your team accepts, edits or rejects each one, and the committee sets the score it acts on.
