Course overview

Deliver valuable improvement that sticks, without relying on luck

Continuous Improvement isn’t just for Lean teams or process experts. It’s a skill—one that can be learned, practiced, and applied to any environment to unlock measurable, lasting change.


In today’s market, traditional Agile roles are declining, but the demand for efficiency, adaptability, and value delivery is rising fast. 48% of companies now list process improvement as a top priority (Hackett Group).


Continuous Improvement is a skill. This course will help you become the person who can deliver it.


"Practical takeaways from the first 15 minutes! Brilliantly curated course, flexible, engaging and just fun! I'm leaving with many ideas and examples of CI which I can't wait to implement" - Kiran Mistry, Agile Delivery Lead


Improving this skill will:


- You will consistently uncover overlooked inefficiencies & bottlenecks

- You will facilitate sessions that lead to real action - rather than insights

- You will design smarter experiments, driving tangible, data backed outcomes

- You will scale improvement across the enterprise, beyond just the surface level

- You will influence stakeholders with clarity, confidence, with data & value literacy


You’ll won't just leave this course with a certificate - but with a complete toolbox, a repeatable approach, and the confidence to drive change wherever you work.


Less focus on frameworks, more on value delivery.


“Unlike other courses, this brings the different process improvement, change disciplines & methodologies into one place.”

- Risha Januska, Senior Scrum Master
