Framework
We built upon the best of what has worked internally and lessons learned from external GO-See’s to create our 1NOVA CI Framework.
![Page 6: Creating CI at NOVA Chemicals Driving Improvement Through ... · •Formalize LSW for Leaders •Learn and practice standardized work •Training and practice complex problem solving](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed9a4d28765f51e2e279084/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Expectation is to have empowered and engaged employees
• CI must be aligned with business priorities and metrics
• CI is the system to improve our performance
• Coaching and leadership are the critical drivers
Four key ideas emerged from our vision statement
![Page 7: Creating CI at NOVA Chemicals Driving Improvement Through ... · •Formalize LSW for Leaders •Learn and practice standardized work •Training and practice complex problem solving](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed9a4d28765f51e2e279084/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Four principles ground CI in the design and the execution
Standards are the basis for improvement
Make performance visibleBe deliberate in how we improve
Respect and develop people
Principles create waves of EXCELLENCE!
