ABOUT
Every business environment requires
continuously changing strategies,
processes, tools and skills.
Implementing a Continuous
Improvement program is one way a
company can harness their response to
change and create competitive
advantage. As companies launch
Continuous Improvement programs,
they need to have a plan.

EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING 5
ELEMENTS LEADING TO SUCCESSFUL AND SUSTAINABLE
EFFORTS.
ALIGN CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENT WITH
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES:
Continuous improvement
should not be considered a
standalone initiative or self-
contained goal; it must align
with strategic objectives and
impact them.
DON’T OVERDO PROCESS
EXCELLENCE AT THE
OUTSET:
This is an evolutionary
process, and you need to
understand the base you are
operating from. Most
organizations don’t have the
skills or resources to launch
a major Continuous
Improvement program.

IMPROVEMENT INTO A
CULTURE OF STRATEGIC
EXECUTION
Continuous improvement and
change management go hand in
hand as shown below. There is
prep work to be done in order to
