Turning Continuous Improvement and a PMO into an Innovation Team
Watch Now!
Break down silos and transform improvement work into a strategic innovation capability
Most organizations run continuous improvement initiatives and project management offices as separate functions. One focuses on small improvements. The other delivers large projects. Both create value — but often in isolation.
What happens when you intentionally combine them?
In this webinar, you’ll learn how one organization integrated Continuous Improvement and its Project Management Office into a unified innovation team that drives cross-functional results, accelerates change, and aligns improvement work with business strategy.
Instead of competing priorities and duplicated effort, this approach creates a coordinated system for delivering both incremental improvements and major initiatives.

Why This Matters
Many organizations reach a plateau where improvement programs produce activity but not strategic impact. Meanwhile, project portfolios grow without delivering sustained cultural change.
Combining CI and PMO capabilities can create a system that delivers both operational improvements and long-term innovation — a rare but powerful combination.
This session offers practical insights for leaders looking to move from scattered efforts to a coherent improvement strategy.
