Intro to CQI Online

In the summer/fall of 2018, many FBO staff attended the classroom version of "Intro to CQI," where they gained perspective on the components of a process; used a handy tool to help identify process waste; recalled many ways CQI is at work across campus; and got inspiration to improve their own individual or team processes. This learning experience is coming soon to a computer screen near you. Whether you want a refresher of what you learned in the classroom, or didn't get the opportunity to attend, stay tuned here for more info!
