1 p.m. | Why we need Continuous Improvement in an ever-changing world

Michel Doppert will highlight why continuous improvement is essential for organisations to stay competitive and avoid obsolescence. In a rapidly changing environment driven by shifting customer needs and technological advancements, organisations often react to problems without addressing their root causes. Continuous improvement offers a structured approach that aligns business processes with customer expectations, leading to sustainable growth and innovation. Without it, organisations risk falling behind in an ever-evolving market. Michel will explain how adopting continuous improvement ensures long-term success and future-proofs businesses against uncertainty.

Meet the speakers

Michel Doppert

Michel Doppert, a GE certified Master Black Belt and a Continuous Improvement specialist, will discuss why organisations must adopt continuous improvement to remain competitive and avoid becoming obsolete. He explains that business transformation involves a fundamental change in how companies operate, driven by evolving customer needs, market demands, and technological advancements. Without a structured approach, organisations often resort to “firefighting” problems, addressing symptoms rather than the root causes. Michel will demonstrate how a clear structure helps align business processes with customer expectations, ensuring sustainable improvement and innovation. Join him to discover how continuous improvement can safeguard your organisation’s future in an ever-changing world.
