ABSTRACT
In the continuous Improvement by Improving Continuously (CIBIC) system, true excellence and continuous improvement both rise from the frameworks, models, and methods that comprise the system. At the heart of the CIBIC system is the comprehensively elegant EDGE framework. Superficially, EDGE highlights the huge fundamental importance of planning and action as promoters of continuous improvement. At the actionable level, the EDGE framework emphasizes the importance of exposure, discovery, insight, configuration, development, deployment, and continuation as promoters of excellence. The development phase emphasizes the need for the sustained development of the inner drivers and outer qualities as a precursor to the pursuit of excellence. The nine outer qualities represent the nine outer attributes that control, influence, and facilitate the tangible worldly pursuit of continuous improvement and sustainability as visible to the outside world. The nine inner drivers are stability, adaptability, planning, patience, humility, intelligence, resilience, enthusiasm, and sustainability.
