TASK 2 – Continuous Improvement Project
RESEARCH NOTES
Benefits of Continuous Improvement
The benefits that would entail to Continuous Improvement being deployed at E-OfficeWorx
would be to resolve the current issues that are being faced by the stakeholders and customers
of organization. The delivery timeline enhancement along with the implementation of
regulated processes to control the flow. The benefit would also include the introduction of the
compliance and the streamlined procedures be adhered at the organization.
Continuous Improvement Models
The Models deployed would be PCDA cycle would aid in the recognition of concerns
that are faced by E-Office Worx and as to how the method linked to four steps can be utilized
in business to bring about continuous improvement with regards to several processes.The
customer service employees working at the organization are not in a position to provision the
product advice to customers. The deliveries need to be chased up over calls. In case the
organization is able to deploy the tool of flow chart as part of continuous improvement
technique, the same would be of great help.

TASK 2 – Continuous Improvement Project
Building in Continuous Improvement
It is essential that the methodologies linked to building continuous improvement as part of the
business system along with the procedures encompass performance management (Cohen et
al., 2015; Mac Iver et al., 2018). The continuous improvement can tend to be the driving
force for performance management. With the employees functioning as part of the
organization, the process of creating the work environment which enables the employees to
perform based on their best performance is crucial.
Continuous Improvement Tools
The Continuous Improvement tools would encompass the PCDA cycle and the tool of
flow chart as part of continuous improvement technique.
Strategies for Encouraging Staff in Participating in Decision Making based on Continuous
Improvement
There can be various strategies that can be well deployed to bring about continuous
improvement processes and the decision making done in a coordinated manner (Cohen et al.,
2015; Mac Iver et al., 2018). The
Strategies would encourage brainstorming and ideating by the staff as part of the process.
The employees would need to continually seek guidance with respect to improvement of
processes and this is being brought in with the continuous improvement. The workers are
encouraged enough and improvement of performance can be well witnessed. The motivation

TASK 2 – Continuous Improvement Project
for the employees to perform an process or series of processes can be well brought in with the
efforts contributed.
Process in communication of Continuous Improvement Processes Along with Outcomes
The mode of communication that would form part of the process would be the written
reports, e-mails and handouts.
Ways of Feedback Collection
The feedback collection from the suppliers, customers and linked stakeholders would be
done based on the questionnaire as part of survey (Cohen et al., 2015; Mac Iver et al., 2018).
The feedback would also be observed based o the interaction had to face with the customers
and stakeholders while they are being interviewed.
Ongoing Mentoring and Coaching Processes
In order to ensure that the staff is well able to implement the required Continuous
Improvement Processes, they would be regularly monitored. The controls set up to determine
their levels of understanding would stand to be crucial too (Cohen et al., 2015; Mac Iver et
al., 2018). The staff would be required to appear for the assessments and would also form
part of the simulated exercises in order to determine as to whether they are able to adhere
well to the procedures and requisites.

TASK 2 – Continuous Improvement Project
Strategies to Ensure Continuous Improvement in sustainability
The sustainability achieved with respect to adherence of 3 tiered system stands to be
crucial too. The strategies linked to sustainability encompass the protection and restoration of
environment in a significant manner. The improvement in the processes too can be done in a
fruitful manner with the sustainability.
Discussion of Strategies
The knowledge management strategies would entail the practices linked to continuous
improvement. The competitive positioning for the organization can be enriched and cost
effectiveness achieved to a greater extent.
Ideas for Improvement
The brainstorming taking place with staff can be well deployed at E-OfficeWorx. This
would be for continuous improvement as it would aid in generation of ideas. With the
ideation taking place, the process improvement would function in an orderly manner. The
proves can be well streamlined in order to attain the goals linked to the success of
organization (Cohen et al., 2015; Mac Iver et al., 2018). The crucial strategies as part of
Knowledge Management would be motivation and analysis. The employees need to be
motivated enough to achieve goals. The analysis of data and performance gauged for
employees at E-OfficeWorx would stand to be crucial too.
