EBOOK: The definitive guide to integrative improvement

What is integrative improvement?

Unlike standalone improvement methodologies, integrative improvement integrates all functions and processes across the value chain to embed operational excellence in the very fiber of the business. It is a holistic and sustainable approach to continuous improvement (CI) – combining and integrating multiple CI approaches simultaneously. Integrative improvement provides a solid foundation of best practice and work process improvement, helping to increase end-to-end value chain efficiency, grow revenue faster, maximize value to customers, and ensure the organization remains resilient when faced with any disruptions.

Integrative improvement has already delivered remarkable results for leading global organizations:
