Forum | QLD - Continuous Improvement

Join us for our QLD State Forum on Building and sustaining Continuous improvement in your business.

Many workplaces have practiced Continuous Improvement (CI) for decades, yet still face challenges in turning CI aspirations into reality.
So how do you build a sustainable Continuous Improvement system where improvement becomes part of the organisational culture?

Implementing and building a sustainable Continuous Improvement system entails more than executing numerous process improvement projects. Driving sustainable results over time and throughout the organisation requires a Continuous Improvement culture, “the way we do work”.

Sustainable improvement requires engagement at all levels as well as a robust management system that addresses the long-term, incremental nature of culture-based change.

This state forum will address the ways in which you can build and sustain Continuous Improvement in your business.
These events are great opportunities to come together with others in your field to share and acquire knowledge. Attendance typically exceeds 30 people so you will depart with increased knowledge and a broader network to call upon in the future.
