What is Continuous Improvement and Innovation?
|
In general terms, it is a thinking process. However it is more than that, it’s about focusing thinking and action. We can think as much as we like, but if we don’t take action, nothing happens.

Capacity Building workshops and training sessions are regularly held at different venues across Australia and New Zealand. Resources for self-learning are available on the Beef CRC’s website … www.beefcrc.com.au.

The Continuous Improvement and Innovation process relies on ensuring you can focus your thinking and action. To do this, there are various “tools” available to you. These tools are methods and practices to ensure your thinking and action is focussed. A range of tools that can be used in the continuous improvement and innovation process are available here.
|
What sort of things should I be focusing on in my business?
|
We can help you determine your focus by using some simple continuous improvement and innovation tools. You focuses should be areas that would have an impact on your business and you feel you are able to influence or change.
