Managing Remote Teams: A Lean Way
2020-06-17 19:30 - 20:00 (Asia/Dubai) | Webinar
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.

Driving Change & Engagement through your Business Management Systems
2020-04-15 19:30 - 20:00 (Asia/Dubai)
Leaders can influence change and increase their staff engagement when they understand that they either have systems in place or can create systems that can reinforce a new way of thinking and acting in the business
“If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don’t bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool or a system, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking.”
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Buckmaster Fuller’s thoughts from over 50 years ago

Principles set the direction, and Lean Tools and Techniques are applied by the teams to solve business problems, but it is the Business Management Systems that bring the leaders and managers into the workplace to observe, challenge, support and coach their teams in a way that makes it meaningful and educational for the teams.
In this 30 minute webinar we will look at why and how your Lean Business Management Systems support your transformation and explore the most common and most useful Lean Business Management Systems leaders and managers can apply to influence and drive the change
