Why Three Times?
Because continuous improvement must become a habit like brushing your teeth. To do it properly you must implement it at three levels at your firm.
- Companywide
- Department wide
- Individually
What is continuous improvement really?
Continuous improvement is traditionally considered an ongoing effort to improve products, services, or processes.
My take on it: It is really a context, belief or perspective that allows one to always be in the process of finding and implementing improvements be it for the individual, the department or the company.

Our 3 Step Process of Implementation
- Companywide
Continuous improvement has to be declared as a focus, ideally made a core value, and supported from the top down. The model and overall plan for program/process improvement needs to be implemented and supported by top management. Step 1 absolutely, positively must state why this has to be done for the company’s survival. - Departments
Each department does its’ own implementation. That allows for different needs yet gets everyone involved. - Individually
Ideally the company has a plan in place that requires everyone to work on his/her personal and professional development. Why? A company can’t grow if its people are stagnant.
