Achieving excellence in an organization is a journey that requires commitment, constant effort, and reflection on where you are and where you need to be. It requires total commitment to the work of continuous improvement. This topic will be front and center at the upcoming  2022 Carnegie Summit. As our guest in this episode puts it, the summit brings together "champions of improvement" from across the country, offering an opportunity for leaders to share their learnings with one another. In this episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher and our guest, Senior Director of Thought Leadership, Dr. Pat Greco, discuss great improvement work currently taking place across the nation, why committing to this process is so important, and what attendees can expect from this year's conference. 

This episode addresses questions, such as:

• When is the best time to commit to the work of continuous improvement in an organization?
• Why is it important to have a framework and set of principles to guide the effort of commitment to organizational excellence?
• How do organizations build a foundation for the work of continuous improvement?
