How to Spread Continuous Improvement Across Your Organization
Watch Now!
A leadership webinar with Mark Graban and Dr. Greg Jacobson
Most organizations don’t struggle to start improvement.
They struggle to spread it.
A few departments succeed. Others stall. Silos persist. Momentum fades.
This webinar explains how organizations move from pockets of improvement to a true culture where everyone participates in making work better every day.
Why This Matters
Continuous improvement only delivers full value when it extends across the entire system.
When improvement stays isolated:
- Gains remain local instead of organizational
- Silos create suboptimization
- Leaders assume “we tried Lean” when it never truly scaled
Sustainable improvement requires intentional spread — not a one-time rollout.
What You’ll Learn
🔹 What “spreading continuous improvement” really means
🔹 Why improvement efforts stall after early success
🔹 The three essentials: methodology, leadership, and technology
🔹 How coaching accelerates adoption across departments
🔹 Why starting small leads to faster long-term progress
🔹 How ideas spread from one team to many without forcing change
🔹 Leadership behaviors that sustain participation
Key Insight
Continuous improvement is not a project.
It’s a system of behaviors reinforced by leadership, supported by simple methods, and enabled by visibility and collaboration.
Organizations that succeed treat spread as a process — not an announcement.
Who Should Watch
- Executives and senior leaders
- Continuous improvement professionals
- Healthcare leaders and operational leaders
- Strategy and transformation teams
- Managers responsible for performance and engagement
