I’ve been doing a research project on how continual improvement programs are embraced and drive companies from the executive and cultural perspectives. Interestingly, the best practice that seems to be emerging is excellent project prioritization based on alignment with strategies first, followed by value measures. One company tried several times to start continual improvement programs; it didn’t happen until the CEO and others embraced the program as strategic and then followed through with organizational changes such as placing a high level executive in charge of continual improvement programs.

What is your experience with continual improvement? Do you see how high level governance processes can be continually improved and be important to a continual improvement program? Can a continual improvement program exist without the excellent governance processes? I think not- but WHAT DO YOU THINK?
