Yes, that means anyone. Because at one level or another, improvement is part of everyone’s job description. In the timeless words of one of the most famous coaches of all time, Vince Lombardi, "Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.“  We look forward to chasing perfection with you!   Topics: [lean](https://www.parkavenuesolutions.com/blog/topic/lean) [continuous improvement](https://www.parkavenuesolutions.com/blog/topic/continuous-improvement) [process improvement](https://www.parkavenuesolutions.com/blog/topic/process-improvement) [lean tool series](https://www.parkavenuesolutions.com/blog/topic/lean-tool-series) [Continue Reading](https://www.parkavenuesolutions.com/blog/welcome-to-the-pas-blog) [** Prev](https://www.parkavenuesolutions.com/blog/tag/lean/page/1) [All posts](https://www.parkavenuesolutions.com/blog/all) ### Featured   ### Subscribe to PAS Newsletters Including tips, tools, & resources to help you on your continuous improvement journey.
