Continuous Improvement in Difficult Times

a half-day workshop to be held on

Tuesday, 23 June 2009

Venue to be advised

8.30am to 12.30pm

The hardest part of “Lean” is keeping the initiative going.  This is particularly true when management’s attentions are concentrated on survival and fire-fighting.  The inability to sustain an improvement culture can be brought about by the non-engagement of staff; the lack of buy-in that Lean really makes a difference and the committed drive by leadership at all levels to keep the improvement culture alive.  How do you sustain continuous improvement?

We’ve worked with many varied types of companies with their improvement programmes – from taking their first steps towards becoming more efficient; to developing existing skills and knowledge; to revitalising flagging improvement projects.  We know and understand the difficulties involved to keep it going.  A key factor behind successful improvement programmes is good leadership.  This workshop will focus on developing the leadership skills required to:
  • get people to believe in Lean and get involved

  • maintain management's focus

  • create an improvement culture

You will understand:

  • why improvement projects fail

  • why the leadership role is so important at all levels

  • the leadership skills required to succeed

    • motivating your people

    • communicating successfully

    • managing improvement teams
