Training: Lean

Pick up a recent issue of the Harvard Business Review or read the latest management blog and you’ll see: The debate between which is worse—your strategy or your execution—rages on. There are plenty of studies that show how “80 percent” of companies don’t have a well-thought-out business plan. The idea being that if they just had the plan, then the organization would be ready to deliver. Then there’s just as much literature that espouses the exact opposite: It’s not the strategy that’s lacking, but the sound business processes needed to execute.

Uniquely designed and rigorous in its simulation approach to learning, this workshop-oriented course fully prepares you to run Kaizen events that rapidly solve problems and improve processes in your organization.

There’s no room for activities that don’t add value to the customer. This course enables you to uncover and eliminate unnecessary activities, so you can focus more on what matters most to your customers. A certification option is available, transforming graduates into implementation experts and change agents who drive Kaizen events in direct support of strategic objectives.

In care settings, risk management is often viewed as “risk elimination,” resulting in complex solutions that burden providers and slow the care process. In this workshop, learn how to apply Lean principles to better understand and redesign failed processes in order to eliminate waste and improve safety—ultimately reducing risk.
