Consistently implementing new ideas requires a system. Deming is well known in the world of quality management. This is is system and quite an effective tool know as the PDCA Cycle, or Deming Cycle. Here's an image of the concept.
Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA)
It's root lie in the theory that something needs to be change, or is wrong or needs to be fixed. Can you be certain that what you are doing is right? and are you sure that your solution will work correctly?
A popular tool for doing this is the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle. This is often referred to as the Deming Cycle or the Deming Wheel after its proponent, W Edwards Deming. It is also sometimes called the Shewhart Cycle.
Deming is best known as a pioneer of the quality management approach and for introducing statistical process control techniques for manufacturing to the Japanese, who used them with great success. He believed that a key source of production quality lay in having clearly defined, repeatable processes. And so the PDCA Cycle as an approach to change and problem solving is very much at the heart of Deming's quality-driven philosophy.
The four phases in the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle involve:
Plan: Identifying and analyzing the problem;
Do: Developing and testing a potential solution;
Check: Measuring how effective the test solution was, and analyzing whether it could be improved in any way; and
Act: Implementing the improved solution fully.
When it comes to a simple tool for implementing ideas, this is one of the best out there.
