In fact for companies some years into the journey the questions are now ‘Why am I not achieving as much as I hoped’ and ‘How do I stop things stalling’. The reason for this is that many have adopted the more visible parts of Lean such as the training and application of diagnostic and implementation Tools & Techniques. However, this has often been done in isolation of other key areas. In particular the People element of Lean has often been missed or at least underplayed. This advanced workshop is for middle or senior managers who are seeing just these issues in their organisation. It helps you to understand how to correct this and start developing a Lean Culture. We do this by helping understand what a complete Lean Business System involves and then change to the importance of areas such as Strategy Deployment, Leadership, Engagement and Behaviour. We then drill down in greater detail into the key aspects required to create a Lean Culture at each level of your organisation. Workshop Objectives - Delegates will understand that ‘talk is action’ and that shaping our conversations creates changes in culture - Delegates will be able to define their current and future cultures and outline a path from the one to the other - Delegates will learn from case studies which explain successful cultural change - Delegates will experience how small changes in their behaviour can have disproportionately positive effects Your Host Kevin Eyre Managing Consultant, S A Partners For further information or to book your place contact [email protected] Accelerating Business Performance The Event How to&create a Lean Lean Green Culture Date Dates 19-20 February 2013 7 February 2012 Venue Venue TBC, Birmingham UK Dublin Ireland - How to create a Lean Culture Workshop Content Day 1 - Re-capping and Re-framing CI - Introducing ‘The X-Men’ – small changes in behaviour can have - - Lean Dispositions – the combination of process and behaviour big effects VoicePrint* and The Language of Leadership – what about you! Day 2 - Case Study 1 – Service Distribution - Understanding the cultural context - - Building the right interactional skills Exploring the Disposition of ‘Proximity’ Case Study 2 – Manufacturing * For managers and leaders, talk is action. It is the underpinning skill set for making interactions productive. Our research reveals, however, that almost everyone has gaps in that skill set. Many people rely on having one distinctive voice, not realising that the limitations that this carries with it. Voiceprint is a new specifically developed psychometric instrument that help leaders to develop their skills in this vital area. All delegates will be given the opportunity to complete a profile before the workshop and receive personalised feedback on this as part of the workshop.
