Continuous Improvement Research Agenda

Assignment 2: Continuous Improvement Research Agenda
The field of continuous improvement is constantly changing. With new initiatives implemented on a regular basis and varying methods used across many professions and fields, it is important for an evaluator to review current literature related to continuous improvement as well as to actively participate in sharing knowledge with colleagues. Not only does this provide new information and strategies for practice, it may help an evaluator identify areas of continuous improvement that need to be investigated further or improved upon. As an evaluator, it is essential to identify areas in need of improvement within organizations, but just as important is the need to assess where continuous improvement research can be explored and expanded.
