Continuous Improvement Project Selection and Portfolio Governance

Improvement programmes often stall because teams take on too many low value projects with no clear priorities. This course teaches leaders how to select, charter, and govern a balanced portfolio of improvement projects tied to business goals. Delegates learn to allocate scarce resources wisely so African organisations get real, measurable returns from their continuous improvement effort.
