A Unique, First-of-its-Kind Event
Celebrating Continuous Improvement at UC San Diego
What started in 2017 as a unique event focused on business process improvement has spawned a universitywide embrace of continuous improvement and business excellence.
Process Palooza is now a recurring event. All are welcome - UC San Diego staff, as well as those from other UCs, Cal State campuses and the international business community.
Our goal with Process Palooza is to change culture by growing a continuous improvement mindset. We do this by sparking an interest in, and commitment to, continuous process improvement by learning from one another and seeing it in action. This fun-filled, highly engaging event has even been adapted into a virtual format while campus gatherings remain restricted. No matter the format, Process Palooza promisies inspiring speakers and presentations, a process improvement competition, and networking and relationship building.
More Than an Event
This is not just an event, it’s a movement! Beyond a one-time event, Process Palooza spawned a universitywide embrace of continuous improvement and business excellence. The first-of-its-kind event hit a max capacity of 500 participants, resulted in 30 practical improvement ideas across two large campus processes, engaged all VC areas, and launched two core initiatives to sustain this mindset shift: Lean Bench and Business Excellence Community of Practice.
The story of Process Palooza begins here; where it ends is up to us! Read up on:
