Someone had an idea….

Continuous Improvement is a different way of working…it requires a mind set change. It’s about engaging and empowering through leadership and vision and creating a true CI culture. It’s about closing a gap where there is a challenge, an opportunity, an idea. It’s a different way of behaving and operating, not a set methodology. CICE is about creating the ecosystem for long term change. From command and control to engagement and development. It’s more than one and greater than many! And it can be hard with so many ‘versions’ of what lean/CI is about.

Where did CICE come from?………CICE began as Lean Kiwis, and a vision to connect all the lean/CI dots across the country.

As the CI Specialist at Villa Maria, and interacting with many people and networks across the country Trish thought there must be a way to ‘connect all the passionate people involved in lean/CI nationally’ so “we’re all better off”.

She set out to make that happen! Creating an enterprise with no agenda, with an organic structure. A neutral, independent and national platform, facilitated through a key professional catalyst role.

Initial thoughts were how to create an organisation funded by all the companies, businesses and organisations involved in lean/CI across the country, however what resonated most with people was taking a personalised, individual approach, so that’s what we’ve done. Many networks, interactive connections, individuals and groups of individuals strengthening the whole. Contact Trish to hear the full story, and find out More about joining CICE
