| “Not finance. Not
strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the
ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare..." - Patrick M. Lencioni |

Our Mission We firmly believe that a company's people are its most valuable asset. Furthermore, we believe that too few companies invest in their people in a meaningful way. Most companies focused on training and skills transfer will tell you the same. But that is usually where the similarity between us and them ends. We founded Improving Enterprises to help people reach beyond their current limitations. The constant desire to do better is ingrained in everything we do, from how we approach our clients, to how we think about problem solving, to how we evaluate our own performance. Most consulting companies are merely interested in outsourcing your projects or staffing your project with warm bodies. We are interested in helping you better execute your projects using your team. We work collaboratively with your team, facilitating skills transfer in the context of project execution. We are happy to work ourselves out of a job. Many people think we are crazy when we say that. We think of it as a strategic advantage. Integrity At Improving, we strive to say what we mean and mean what we say. And, integrity means keeping one’s form, even under pressure. Integrity is the foundation of our open and ethical approach to business. Honesty We believe that great relationships are built on a foundation of honesty and trust. Nothing more, nothing less. Our own team practices openness, transparency, and honesty in our interpersonal dealings, and we believe honesty with our customers and within our customer’s teams yields the best results for the individuals and for the business. Simplicity Entropy affects everything. Studies show that a large number of features in modern computer systems are seldom, if ever used. Systems tend to grow in complexity to the level that they can be managed. Simplicity is something that must be constantly applied to minimize waste and management overhead. Feedback From iterative development, to lessons learned, to exploring acceptance tests with our customers, we actively seek and provide feedback as a means of Improving. |
