A Systemic approach to Continuous Improvement
Germania
Description :
This workshop focuses on the topic of Continuous Improvement in teams, organizations, and companies by exploring how to get better at current processes and ways of working by using the A3 method in combination with Systems Thinking and the Toyota Kata model.
You have a vision (or a desired target state) for your organization and you face challenges, problems, and hurdles to reach this vision or have ideas on how to improve the existing system. All those issues follow a similar pattern and you will be faced with one or several of the following conditions:
- you and your colleague do not share the same understanding of the vision (or target state)
- you and your colleague do not share the same understanding of the issue
- you do not know what to do next
- you are overwhelmed by the amount of options to choose from
- you don't know whether the path forward will bring you closer to your vision
- you forgot to measure your progress and whether you will get closer to your goals
It's time to enhance your competence and skills by applying a systemic approach to Continuous Improvement. What differentiates a “traditional” compared to a “high-velocity” learning organization? How does Deming’s PDCA look alike in those firms? What does it mean to improve with a systemic approach and why is this important? What is tje role of experiments? In order to make this workshop even more meaningful and interesting for you: we will examine your own improvement areas in this workshop!
