Creating a Lean Culture
As stewards of the university’s resources, the commitment to continuous process improvement is a core responsibility to deliver efficient and effective outcomes.
Continuous Process Improvement IS:
- A strategic action, not an event.
- An opportunity for individuals to contribute to the success of their work environment — whether it is from the bottom-up or the top-down.
- A balance of both quantitative (data-driven) and qualitative (experiential) opportunities.
- Achieving small wins that lead to impactful results.
Continuous Process Improvement IS NOT:
- A solely top-down initiative; CPI thrives on active participation from all levels of the organization, encouraging contributions from both top-down and bottom-up perspectives.
- Exclusively quantitative.
- Focused on large-scale overhauls: small, incremental changes collectively lead to significant improvements over time.
