Continuous Improvement to the Construction Industry

As construction processes and systems become more progressive and adaptive, it is imperative for organisations to look toward Continuous Improvements (CI) and to adopt a quality-embracing culture via effective organisational learning. As such, a thorough comprehension and exploitation of the mechanism of Learning and Quality will remain pivotal to this evolving global industry that is, thankfully, inclining towards the principles of CI, which could only be effectuated via a functional equilibrium between acquired theoretical knowledge and the actual established industrial practices. Construction entities should remain resolute that corporate operations and performance, guided by a vehement customer focus and fervour for quality, should determine organisational growth and success in the precarious trade of construction; growth being a bolstered confidence in all respective undertakings, judged ultimately by success: stakeholders satisfaction and financial profits.
