Continuous Improvement Culture

Ensure proper training and onboarding

A CI Culture trains all new employees in the basics of Lean and/or Six Sigma to ensure everyone understands the ‘language of the organization' and the approach to solving problems.

Acknowledge employees to prevent them from feeling invisible in your organization and provide regular feedback

A CI culture promotes regular meetings/huddles for updates, encouragement, acknowledgment and to review progress on goals.

Offer freedom and flexibility to encourage employees to take ownership of their role and understand work/life blend

A CI culture provides a clear understanding of roles & responsibilities and check-ins so that managers do not feel they need to micro-manage employees.

Set goals for employees and explain how those goals tie into the overall business goals

Lean Six Sigma calls for definable goals and a purpose for the organization to continually strive for in the most efficient and effective way possible.

Focus on continual development for your employees

There are several ‘belt’ levels available for employees to continually add to their skill sets as they progress in their career.

Regularly collect ‘People Analytics’ to understand your employees on an on-going basis and adjust accordingly

Lean Six Sigma encourages continuous data collection so that organizations are always aware of how they are currently functioning and where they may improve.
