the consortium OUR STORY


 

Our Consortiums develop the World’s Best Continuous Improve Organizations.

CONSORTIUM MEMBERS BETTERING THEMSELVES
BY LEARNING, THINKING, APPLYING AND SHARING

 

Our member organizations have a life long commitment to continuous improvement and provide the support for their people to apply what they learn from benchmarking, collaboration and exchange events.  We work hard to create cross-organizational improvement teams and develop relationships that result in the acceleration and sustainment of our member’s CI journeys.  We work hard to develop the thinking to help members evolving their thinking to continue to be the best.

 

Why a CI Consortium is the Smartest choice to develop the World’s Best Continuous Improvement Organization.
