Process Palooza

Process Palooza is a high-energy collaborative experience showcasing and celebrating the power of continuous improvement.

In 2017, an extraordinary movement centered around enhancing business processes kicked off, leading to a universitywide adoption of continuous improvement and business excellence.

Process Palooza has now evolved into a regular occurrence, with an engaged audience of change-makers, leaders, and decision makers from industries including higher education, manufacturing, information technology, healthcare, professional organizations from San Diego, the U.S., and across the globe. Our community unites around a shared passion for business excellence, operational efficiency and continuous improvement.

The primary objective of Process Palooza is to instill a culture shift by cultivating a mindset of continuous improvement. This is accomplished by generating interest and dedication to ongoing process enhancement through mutual learning and witnessing its practical application. Process Palooza guarantees thought-provoking speakers, informative presentations, a competition focusing on process improvement, and opportunities for networking and relationship-building.

More Than an Event

Process Palooza is not simply an event; it has evolved into a powerful movement. Going beyond a singular occasion, Process Palooza has sparked a universitywide embrace of continuous improvement and business excellence.

The inaugural Process Palooza, unprecedented in its kind, reached its maximum capacity with 500 participants. It yielded an impressive outcome of 30 practical improvement ideas that were implemented across two extensive campus processes. Moreover, it successfully engaged all VC areas and gave rise to two fundamental initiatives, namely Lean Bench and Business Excellence Community of Practice (BECOP), which are aimed at maintaining this transformative shift in mindset.

Our most recent Process Palooza in 2024 reached maximum capacity, with a waitlist exceeding 100 people. Over 650 attendees experienced professional exchanges, sessions, workshops, games, competitions and tours to inspire organizations and individuals to share, learn, begin or advance their continuous improvement journey.
