Are you prepared to be a part of continuous improvement (CI) in your organization? All CI programs and many standards and accreditation bodies require a corrective action/improvement process.

This two-day program focuses on the concepts, quality tools, processes and practices you need to apply a fact-based problem-solving process/tools, teamwork, consensus-building and on-the-job application you need to succeed. It is a foundation for the Baldrige Award, necessary for JCAHO, and a requirement of ISO 9001:2008. Problem-solving skills are needed for performance excellence.
