MORE ABOUT ICI

"One thing is certain about today's uncertain business environment... management teams must be armed with the skills to confidently manage the infinite nature of change."...Kay Sever

ICI's leading-edge management training programs are designed to meet this need with tools and methods that help managers consistently meet expectations for equipment performance, cost containment, and department cooperation. Our training includes opportunity-based elements and processes that give managers skills to "manage change like they manage operations" and increase their credibility with more predictable performance. It is effective as a stand-alone program or as an add-on to proposed or existing initiatives.

ICI was founded because management processes ARE DIFFERENT than processes designed to create products or services; therefore, the same tools and methods to improve production and service processes often do not improve management efficiency and effectiveness. Because the success and sustainability of improvement programs hinges on management's beliefs, words and actions, addressing management's role in improvement is a non-negotiable success factor.

ICI is dedicated to the "next generation of improvement theory and practice". What does "Leading Edge" and "Next Generation" training really mean? It means filling a need that has never been adequately filled in the past and providing tools and skills to optimize manager effectiveness before, during and after the change process. Managers learn how to:

Work more effectively with each other.
Consider lost opportunity when setting goals, approving expansions, selecting key measures, etc.
Connect people to equipment to maximize equipment performance.
Connect departments to each other so that they work for a common goal.
Learn processes for addressing problems that may only be discussed behind closed doors.
Understand that their behavior ultimately determines if improvements are made or sustained.

The first management training series to be offered is titled: "OPPORTUNITY FUNDAMENTALS - Equipment, Cost and Culture".

SERIES #1: "Opportunity Fundamentals - Equipment, Cost and Culture"

OPPORTUNITY: An odorless invisible element defined as a favorable set of circumstances in business. The only element with an infinite atomic number and weight. When discovered and captured, it reacts with improvement programs and corporate cultures to produce a desirable green substance found in financial institutions.
