The Work in Progress poster topic
Our Work in Progress poster topic recieved a high level of interest at the recent International Forum in Kuala Lumpur.
If you have any improvement work in progress, you can now showcase the preliminary results of your project at the International Forum by submitting to the topic Work in Progress. In this poster theme, you can present you initial assessment of the problem, the methodology and design of the project and the current stage the work is at. You can present your anticipated outcomes, your preliminary findings, and the challenges or obstacles you have encountered to date. Your submission will still be peer reviewed, but acknowledged for the stage of completion you are currently at. During the International Forum we will hold specific dicussion groups and workshops aimed at people who are at a preliminary stage or in the middle of undertaking an improvement project – this it the perfect opportunity to seek guidance, and inspiration from your peers.
