Analysis and Decision Making in Lean Companies
2021-03-17 19:30 - 20:00 | Webinar
In any company embarking on a lean transformation, in any industry, the definition of relevant and reliable information for analysis and decision-making will change in some form or fashion. A lean transformation also has an impact on the types and frequencies of analytical practices and accompanying decisions. Another way to say this is a lean transformation changes what internal customers value from a management accounting system.
For any decision-maker, information must be both relevant and reliable. Relevant information improves decision makers’ capabilities to predict future outcomes or provide more accurate feedback of performance. Reliable information represents reality at the time an analysis is performed and the quality (accuracy) and lack of bias in the analysis can be counted on.
In this webinar, you will learn:

The Economics of Lean
The relevant and reliable information needed to analyze the impact of lean and continuous improvement
How to leverage lean for financial success
Standardized work for analysis and decision-making

Leveraging Continuous Improvement with AI
2020-12-09 19:30 - 20:00 | Webinar
Lauren will provide a business perspective on leveraging Continuous Improvement with AI.
The webinar will tackle the rapidly changing business world, moving in the direction of AI (RPA, Machine Learning, etc.). While these new digital approaches are meant to improve, streamline, and standardize business processes, many organizations don’t realize that these approaches do not fix a “broken” business process.
Instead, these digital approaches will show how broken a process is faster than using the manual method. The best practice is to fix the broken processes, standardize them, and then use them digitally.

The Dual Operating System: Lean to address VUCA in Uncertain Times
2020-11-25 19:30 - 20:00 | Webinar
The impact of Covid19 has shown us how business can be disrupted by events. Historically we had thought that most disruptions would probably come from competition enabled by new technology. Either way such incidents typify the VUCA world in which we now live.
So how can we operate effectively and efficiently in today’s world? In periods and areas of relative stability we can use historic data and root cause analysis-based improvement approaches including Lean / Lean Six Sigma, but what do we use when historic data is no effective predictor of future performance?
We have two very different business systems (respectively ordered and disordered) that can operate either sequentially or in parallel depending on business circumstances. Business Agility is arguably both the best form of defence and offense in disordered situations, and Lean in more ordered ones; combined they act as a ‘Dual Operating System’ which we will introduce and explore on the webinar’.

Spark Improvement Behaviors Using Reinforcing Feedback to Generate Desired Actions
2020-11-11 19:30 - 20:00 | Webinar
Change is real. Maybe you’re facing change from COVID-19 – new PPE requirements, new processes, or new products. Maybe you’re trying to engage the team in improving flow or reducing waste or systematic problem solving. All change. Or maybe you find yourself struggling with execution on the things we’re already supposed to be doing – like safety talks and visual management.
The thing is, when team members aren’t consistently executing on actions, we typically find ourselves in a compliance-based follow-up stance. And that’s no fun for anyone. It takes too much time for you, and typically irritates team members as they view you as “micro-managing”.
There is a better way. In this session, you’ll learn the DECIDE framework to spark helpful behaviors that move the business forward, while generating greater engagement
