Why A Refresh?
Best organizations set a course, implement, evaluate, adjust, and relaunch. Starting over every five years is not conducive to continuous improvement. Instead, we refine and build upon our existing foundation.
Continuous Improvement Cycle:
- Set a Course: Define clear, long-term goals.
- Implement: Execute strategies to meet these goals.
- Evaluate: Assess the effectiveness of implemented strategies.
- Adjust: Make necessary modifications based on evaluations.
- Relaunch: Update and reapply strategies with adjustments.
