Presentation Abstract:
Academic achievement is important, but modern workplaces, and life in general, require much more. In a world where innovation is what separates most organizations from their competitors, can Continuous Improvement programs in public school classrooms make a difference? Maurice has written an article in The Journal for Quality and Participation and will share his perspective in person with ASQ Silicon Valley Section. You can find the article link at ASQ Silicon Valley website.
