Exploring This Job
The concepts involved in continuous improvement may seem complicated, but you can explore this career by simply seeking to improve some aspect of a club or sports team in which you’re involved. Perhaps a fundraising campaign could be streamlined, or the workout regimen and weightlifting sessions in a football practice could be revised to improve team performance. You should also talk with continuous improvement managers about their careers. You can find interview leads by contacting the American Association for Quality or by reaching out to some of the CIMs who have profiles on LinkedIn.
