Many leaders were captivated by Tom Peter's book "In Search of Excellence' that outlined the continuous improvement, innovative practices and customer oriented approaches of some of the world's best companies. In the process of attempting to emulate and implement some of the learnings almost all attempts failed. A similar failure rate occurred for groups trying to implement TQM or Kaizen methods. The error occurred because we neglected to take into account the role of culture. No approach to improvement, creativity and innovative can take place in a vacuum.
If the culture does not encourage innovation and a customer orientation, for example, the interventions are destined to fail.
This workshop addresses the culture changes, the leadership approaches, the norms to be observed and the development needs to be addressed to successfully implement Lean principles and to sustain that intervention.
This workshop is for all organisations and leadership teams aiming to not only implement a Lean approach and mindset but to also ensure it is sustained long after that initial implementation so it does not become another fad leaving staff cynical and suspicious of management programs.
It is for groups who wish to leave a legacy and a culture that supports the Lean principles.
The curriculum will upskill the participants in the areas of culture, culture change, constructive leadership approaches and strategies and capability development.
All e booklets, support materials, work sheets and simulations provided.
