Watch the new Business Transformation Week trailer from the Improvement Team

We all have a responsibility in making improvement part of our daily lives at work but where do you begin? Want to know more about improvement? Then why don’t you pop along to our improvement stall during Business Transformation Week (1 – 5 September)? The Improvement teams will be taking part in the roadshow to answer any of your improvement queries and have also prepared a trailer

to promote the event.

See how you can do some simple process improvement to take back to your own work area, have a go at the puzzle of waste and tell us how you could save the Council £20 a week.

In addition to the improvement stall, case study events will be running on the Monday, Thursday and Friday of Business Transformation Week, each focusing on an improvement project. At the end of each case study there will be a chance to talk to the Improvement Officer about any improvement activity you have a query about.

Improvement professionals are always available to support and assist employees in doing things differently. They can guide staff through problem solving techniques as well as helping address more complex issues. Come to the case study workshops throughout Business Transformation Week and see how the Improvement Team can assist in making things better for you.

The following workshops will be available throughout Business Transformation Week:Improvement Strategy and Framework case studyLearn more about the Improvement Strategy and Framework, how it fits into the organisation and find out how you can dip into the framework to guide you through improvement activity.
