Continuous Improvement Local Practitioner Development Programme
Our hugely popular programme will teach you to apply CI tools, resources and mindset on a live project for your area or department. Learn in a supportive environment with online learning, class events and one-to-one guidance from an experienced CI Practitioner.
Do you want to learn as a team and improve a local process together? The programme consists of 3 workshops with an experienced CI Practitioner taking you through the steps and learning as you go. You’ll be able to take what you’ve learnt and use to improve other processes.
A Daily Update is a very short regular team “huddle” to share news, updates and concerns if appropriate, that can help improve communications and performance. In this online course you will learn about the meeting format, hear about experiences from regular users and get some hints and tips on how to get started.
Improving yourself - using CI approaches in your own personal development
How can you apply CI to your own personal development? In this course you will learn about CI tools for self-improvement that will help you prioritise reflection and growth
Do you often think “there must be a better way?”. Process mapping is a way of visualising the current process and gaining consensus on how to improve it. It is a key tool in Continuous Improvement and this course will teach you the main concepts and how to put it into practice
