Continuous improvement sounds like a no-brainer, right? Make things better, little by little, every day. Most business leaders nod along when they hear it. “Of course we should do that!” But here’s the rub: while the merits of continuous improvement are undeniable, it’s surprisingly rare to see it imbedded in the daily fabric of how work gets done.

Bottom line, in most organizations common sense of continuous improvement doesn’t lead to common practice.

In most workplaces, improvements happen sporadically when someone in management flashes on an idea – or when the crap hits the fan and everyone has to scramble to fix it.

That’s not how Systematic Continuous Improvement works. It gets its power from being part of the regular work routine—like brushing your teeth, but for your business. And it works best when everyone is in on it, not just managers and supervisors. When people at every level are tuned into spotting better ways and taking action, that’s when real savings and gains start piling up.

Take FastCap, for example—a manufacturing company in Washington state that lives and breathes daily improvement. Every employee starts the day by sharing a small improvement they made, whether it’s tweaking a tool or streamlining a task. Over time, those little wins snowball into big-time results –  higher quality, lower waste, greater efficiency and a culture that buzzes with momentum.

The companies that make SCI soar like that are the ones that turn improvement into a habit – from common sense to common practice. If you’d like to learn how that kind of habit can get your team buzzing, click on the link below.
