Continuous improvement
Experience shows that implementing continuous improvement is crucial for a company's success. Without it, major turn-around projects are often necessary. Increasingly rapid change in today's market environments demands flexibility and speed in adapting to change. Continuous improvement creates the skills and mind-sets needed to achieve this and out-run competition.
Continuous improvement is not easy to implement from scratch. It involves a complete change of attitude (sometimes called a paradigm shift) for everyone in the company. Management has to create a change-responsive climate, including bottom-up as well as top-down processes and respect for constructive criticism.
We know what it takes to implement continuous improvement. Among other things this includes the design of process and organisation, designing improvement processes, benchmarking, performance management, change management and training employees in continuous improvement. The goal should always be to achieve market leadership, applying the best new ideas in business.
