WHO STARTED IT ALL?

About Our Founder

Velaction, the parent company of Continuous Improvement Central, was started in 2008 as a part-time business to keep Jeff Hajek in touch with the continuous improvement community. He started writing books. Very soon after, old colleagues started asking him to teach their teams, and Velaction was born as a training company.
As technology evolved, the company shifted from selling PowerPoint decks, to creating videos, to what it is now--a comprehensive, powerful, online training and resource center designed to help you create a business management system powered by a strong continuous improvement culture.

Jeff Hajek
Owner and Founder
Jeff started Velaction in 2008 as a side business when he was a stay-at-home parent, and it has grown from there as life evolved.

Jeff's Vision

Jeff wants to create a resource for small and mid-sized companies to be able to compete with their bigger competitors who can afford to hire in-house staff to develop their continuous improvement systems.
We strive for the perfect balance of support and flexibility. Think of CI Central like Lego-style building bricks. We give you the pieces so you can build whatever your imagination comes up with.
  • Use our forms to support your projects
  • Use our training to build a powerful team--whether you want to train them yourself, or let us do the heavy lifting for you.
  • Get help when you need it. Learning on your own is great...until you hit an obstacle that you need a hand clearing.

Frequently asked questions

How can I choose my courses?

We offer a number of different learning paths, which you are invited to read and choose the one that better meets your needs. However if you need any advice or clarifications, we are at your disposal at any time.

What if the student and teacher’s personalities don’t work well together or the student is dissatisfied?

We have 16 teachers so if a problem occurs – which is extremely rare – we can switch you over to one of the other teachers. If you think you may get more out of lessons from a teacher with a different teaching style, we have the flexibility to change you to another instructor.

What can you offer that I cannot get at other online schools?

With us you will have the opportunity to learn from some of the most notable professionals in the field. We are intricately involved with education across the U.S. Our students regularly participate in local, state-wide, and national workshops and festivals.
