Business Excellence Consortium
Special Interest Group (SIG)/Tour Events
World-class organizations understand that their learning never ends. They are constantly looking for ways to improve and embrace the need to better themselves on a continuous basis. SIGs give participants the opportunity to learn from other practitioners as well as a BEC coach. Attendees have the opportunity to discuss application techniques and learn how others have achieved results from the application of continuous improvement techniques.
By attending a SIG event, you will:
- Gain valuable insight into how other organizations are using improvement techniques
- Become a part of a network of practitioners that shares your improvement commitment
- Be challenged to think of things different and to continue to learn
