Managing Remote Teams: A Lean Way

June 17, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Many people now work from home. But they remain members of a work team. Until recently they would have met face-to-face to discuss work-related matters, share data and brain-storm improvements.

We will look at how the ‘Toyota Kata’ approach could become a central feature in a world of remote teams that collaborate on continuous improvement experiments. Our case study is a company with global clients that moved seamlessly from office work to remote work, whilst maintaining excellent team work under the guidance of team leaders and managers.
