Continuous Improvement

Once I slow down because I think I have reached my peak, then my skills will go nowhere but down.

Bruce Lee

Continuous Improvement is neither a set of tools nor a one-time action that needs no revisiting. Instead, it is the act of getting better than yesterday, whether at work or at home. Of course, we all want this better-than-yesterday approach, but many individuals and organisations need help to achieve it.

This challenge motivated us to begin our Continuous Improvement practice to enable our clients to become better than yesterday.

Our practice is centred on data and selecting the right tool for the job. The Loughridge Transformations toolbox includes various tried and tested improvement tools, drawing on all aspects of LEAN, SixSigma, Agile Principles and Total Quality Management. Our consultants have significant experience using the tools outside of manufacturing or transactional environments. We are proud to say that we routinely leverage the skills and tools in all we do.

Loughridge Transformations can deliver all our Continuous Improvement practice elements in a face-to-face or virtual setting. Our consultants excel in providing solutions for our clients, whether at the client site or virtually, individually, or in teams. Working across multiple geographies, cultures, and time zones is second nature to the experienced consultants at Loughridge Transformations.

LT partnered with our team from early design through implementation on a project to achieve global alignment on Finance’s future “Ways of Working.” Jennifer and the team did a terrific job facilitating virtual and in-person workshops. Their expertise and experience in corporate finance added incredible value to the project.

LT provided us with strong project management skills and helped us communicate and integrate the changes with a large number of people within our Finance teams. Jennifer ensured that we captured and documented the actions needed for success, even looking forward beyond the implementation date, to ensure that we remained on track, with clear visibility of progress, ensuring that the business retained ownership and accountability.
