Where is your business at?
Continuous improvement (CI) cannot be implemented with a one size fits all mentality, it is highly dependent on organizational culture and development. To overlook this important fact will result in a suboptimal outcome of a CI strategy. Our approach at Developing Leaders is different. In my 35 years working in and with organizations of all sizes, I have observed that there are specific patterns of behavior and cultural elements that are fairly universal. These consistent patterns in cultural development dictate what is possible in terms of a firms approach to continuous improvement and leadership. By integrating these observations and insights with an understanding of organizational theory, I have created a model of organizational development that will help you in considering how to design and implement a strategic approach to continuous improvement for your firm.
