What is UIMPROVE?

UIMPROVE is an integrated system of improvement that can be used by any organisation, team or individual to transform the way they work.

We train people in UIMPROVE through our courses and programmes, and the approach underpins our facilitation work too.

Integrated isn’t a very sexy word but this explains why many ‘change initiatives’ fail. Organisations use one approach for strategy development, another for project management, another for leadership development and so on. The result: Lots of different approaches where nothing fits with anything else. UIMPROVE is different because it integrates all these activities and more.

  • It’s a system not a toolkit
  • No isolated activity, instead activity is linked to organisational Mission, Vision and strategy
  • Everything fits with everything else
  • The whole is greater than the sum of the parts
  • Continuously developed and improved since 1992
  • Development based on real-life application
  • Used daily by thousands of real people working in real organisations
  • Used in a wide variety of industries and sectors
  • Proven track record
  • Appeals to all Learning Styles
  • Works for all personality types
  • Bridges the great divide between Introverts and Extroverts
  • People use UIMPROVE because it work
  • Firmly supported by good theory
  • Stands on the shoulders of the giants: Shewhart, Deming, Juran and Tribus
How we work with you

Consultancy, facilitation and training can help organisations to improve. Our aim is to help you internalise these skills.

We work closely with you to find out what you and your organisation need. If we do a good job, you are likely to be a client for a long time and that is what we want. It’s better for you, and it’s more rewarding for us.

The first steps

Get in touch for a no-obligation meeting. One of our Consultants will find out what’s going on in your organisation, what your priorities are and any areas of concern you might have. We will then suggest some options for you to consider. It’s as easy as that.
