"Continuous Improvement has made me think about how to be a better steward with time, resources and supplies in other areas of my life."
--Diana Singleton, Custodian
Welcome to the online home of the Office of Continuous Improvement.
Continuous Improvement is:
- a way of looking at, understanding, and changing processes so they work better
- using proven methods and tools to speed up these improvements
- doing this on a consistent basis, with many different processes
- different from "regular" improvement in its focus and use of methods & tools
Our office was launched in January 2010 to help the University meet its strategic goals through the use of special methods and tools. In particular, we offer Continuous Improvement (CI) training opportunities for University employees to prepare them to lead or participate in CI projects, and we provide project support and guidance for project leaders, sponsors, and teams throughout the course of their CI project.
Whether you are interested in learning more about the University's Continuous Improvement initiatives, receiving CI training, or beginning a CI project in your campus unit, we look forward to working with you.
