Transcript: We Are Already Doing It! Process Improvement It packages Process Improvement as a tool offered by the department Answers about funding are already laid out prior, so the marketing collateral 'only' focuses on the outcomes: Process Improvement Partners are already aligned to support - reduces bureaucracy Companies find an easy solution to complex issues - with one stop Divisions work in a coordinated approach to deliver one final product Manufacturing takes the lead Innovation assists with certain programming and works with clients Regional offices help with programming and find perceptive companies Trade with Supplier Development evaluates needed process improvements for intentional markets Investment Attraction takes FDI requests and matches with pre-qualified partners Staff - they are actually doing this work right now Financing - programming already exists. We'll just develop a system of Q&A and a template to determine which program helps with each aspect of Process Improvement Marketing - a brochure/email/website text can all be developed in-house What will the initiative focus on? With minimal effort, we can package Process Improvement as a Strategic Initiative of the Department without adding more resources! Why will this Benefit the department? Our companies need to take advantage offered by the Natural Resource sector now!

FDI is easy with qualified companies! Foreign marketing is easier with certifications! What Will this Look Like? Lean and process efficiency Green certifications Health, Safety, Environment certification Quality Assurance planning ISO, CWB, and other industrial certifications Our Opportunity to Brand the Department with Work We are Already Doing! Thank You Companies become more efficient (more with less) Companies become more competitive better margins better marketing better supply chain capabilities Increased capacity Companies become targets for FDI smaller companies partner for larger projects What resources already exist? How is this different than what we are already doing? How? Why Process Improvement?
