Write a 1500 word paper explaining what continuous improvement means in the context of

organisational success. Explain how the concept can and should be applied. Explain how it

is possible to lead continuous improvement systems and processes

and how opportunities

for improvement can be managed to provide benefits for an organisation. Outline how you,

as an organisational leader, would contribute to and implement continuous improvement

initiatives.

Include reference to the impact of change on individuals and groups within an organisation,

risk assessment, risk management and techniques for successfully managing the different

types of change.

Use examples or scenarios to support your theories and to demonstrate the need for

effective continuous improvement processes. Tables, graphical diagrams, charts or

statistical information can be included to help you explain and support your work.

You will need to utilise works by several authors to develop the basic ideas. The ideas

presented in your paper

need to be logically sequenced, relevant to the topic and should

provide evidence of wider reading. Quotations and references should be correctly cited in

the text, with a complete reference list, in alphabetical order (Harvard referencing system)

supplied

at the end.

Statements should be justified, supported and explained using evidence from writers who

are considered to be authorities on the subject, using real examples or by demonstration of

your own ability to prove their validity.
