continuous improvement
{| left|200 px|word cloud of vision document ||To protect and restore an ecosystem we must use the resources we have as creatively, effectively, and efficiently as possible. Continuous improvement is a cross-agency and staff-led effort to improve natural resource management by increasing dialog and collaboration between local teams and state/federal programs.
This page is an archive of a discontinued effort led by NOAA Restoration Center that began in 2014 with the Coordinated Investment initiative, which led to identification of inter-agency system improvement as an area of weakness and opportunity for improvement in natural resource management. A number of activities led to much learning, many relationships, and a few partial-successes at which point, concepts developed by this effort were left in the hands of the Align Grant Coordination Workgroup process (developed in parallel and also emerging out of coordinated investment), and in the ongoing coordination efforts of the Puget Sound Partnership. These efforts have informed a variety of successive interagency efforts, such as Science Sprints to Support Regulation.
