How can companies ensure that their culture of continuous improvement is sustained over time, and not just a temporary initiative?

Companies can ensure that their culture of continuous improvement is sustained by embedding it into their core values and mission statement. They should provide ongoing training and development opportunities for employees to foster a culture of learning and growth. Regularly soliciting feedback from employees and customers, and implementing their suggestions, can also help maintain momentum for continuous improvement initiatives. Lastly, recognizing and rewarding employees who contribute to the culture of continuous improvement can help reinforce its importance and ensure long-term sustainability.
