    • 1h 27m
    The Con­tin­u­ous Improve­ment Lean Col­lab­o­ra­tive (CILC) is a not-for-prof­it, mul­ti- state net­work of pub­lic and pri­vate indi­vid­u­als, orga­ni­za­tions, and com­pa­nies who togeth­er pro­mote con­tin­u­ous improve­ment in busi­ness, gov­ern­ment, and ser­vices. Its goal is to pro­vide oppor­tu­ni­ties for busi­ness, gov­ern­ment, and ser­vice lead­ers to share enhanced approach­es and meth­ods for attain­ing greater excel­lence in oper­a­tional effec­tive­ness, effi­cien­cy, and val­ue to cus­tomers, employ­ees, and stake­hold­ers. It pur­sues this goal through pro­vid­ing a forum for prac­ti­tion­er and orga­ni­za­tion­al learn­ing — with active col­lab­o­ra­tion and shar­ing of knowl­edge, expe­ri­ence, and re- sources across all sectors.
