Culture Of Continual Learning
TCII is not only driven to provide top notch continuous improvement tools to its clients, they truly practice what they preaches. TCII believes a culture of continual learning must be linked with continuous improvement. To this end we are dedicated to attending all kinds of events to broaden our culture. We not only look at topics within our wheel house (Lean, Six Sigma, Data Integrity, to name a few), but also ones outside which have a profound influence on an organizations effectiveness. Topic like leadership, culture, change management, and interpersonal communication are some examples. Here we document a some events to keep sharpening our saw (like Steven Covey would say in his ‘7 habits of highly effective people’).
