What is the Practical Continuous Improvement course about?
Teams often apply well-intentioned changes locally, only to see them unravel across sites due to misalignment, inconsistent data, or lack of governance. Without a unified system, continuous improvement becomes fragmented, reactive, and hard to measure.
