CI focuses on making small, ongoing improvements that lead to significant results over time. By encouraging continuous learning and development, CI helps organizations enhance efficiency and maintain a competitive edge while keeping employees engaged and motivated.
Common continuous improvement (CI) methodologies include Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma, and Agile. Kaizen emphasizes small, continuous changes involving everyone in the organization. Lean focuses on eliminating waste and enhancing value through efficient processes.
