AC Way Refreshed – Continuous Improvement
Coming in Late Summer 2023, the AC Way team will be releasing just-in-time training, workshops and resources related to Continuous Improvement, Lean, Six Sigma and change management. With the AC Way Refreshed approach approved and endorsed by ACLT in December 2022, the team will introduce monthly content in a new and inspiring manner that highlights activities and resources around five key areas of continuous improvement to drive value to our learners and staff. Stay tuned to myAC announcements for details and check out the website to learn more.
What is the AC Way?
The AC Way is a method of working at Algonquin College that encourages all employees, partners, and stakeholders to maintain a continuous improvement mindset. The primary focus is on improving the student, learner, and client experience, aiming to make processes more efficient, and generating value through engagement and innovation. AC Way is a people-first way of thinking and not solely an office or group of people. It’s a framework that uses various continuous improvement tools and best practices, rather than solely Lean methodology, to improve day-to-day work.
