GOALS FOR KAIZEN – CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Any professional organisation has a requirement for continuing education. Here in New Zealand there are various professional institutes such as for Managers, Financial Advisors, Directors, Chartered Accountants, various therapists, Lawyers, etc. The list is almost endless. Often done on a points scheme, the members have to accrue a certain number of points/credits to remain in good standing and a practicing member of the institute. This all makes perfect sense as new competencies are always being developed – and skills do naturally deteriorate or can sadly morph into something un-useful unless we keep ourselves in check. However, beyond what is ‘required’, many are so passionate about their chosen field that they naturally extend and better themselves beyond ‘necessity’ and pursue skills that contribute to their excellence. And it’s no different for us as Trainers.
