Continuous improvement and project management share a common objective: creating sustainable value by improving the way organizations work and deliver results. However, the two disciplines often use different approaches, methodologies and terminology.

In this webinar, Norbert Schielow will introduce the fundamental principles of continuous improvement and explain their connection to project management. Participants will learn about the differences and commonalities between the two disciplines and gain an overview of practical tools that can support the analysis and design phases of projects and improvement initiatives.

The session will cover topics such as:

• Fundamental continuous improvement principles and methodologies
• The relationship between continuous improvement and project management
• Practical tools for analysing processes and identifying improvement opportunities
• Approaches for designing effective and sustainable solutions
• Lessons learned and best practices from practical experience

The webinar is intended for project managers who are new to continuous improvement. No previous knowledge of methods such as PDCA, root cause analysis or value stream analysis is required.

Participants who already have extensive experience with continuous improvement methodologies may find the content primarily useful as a refresher and as an opportunity to compare practices with other project professionals.
