Highlights
How do you master the people part of lean transformation? Getting all people engaged.
Overview
People who have led or participated in a successful lean transformation will agree that the people part of the transformation is a lot more challenging and important than the process part. That is because all people must be engaged in the transformation, workers, professionals, leaders, executives. In this hands-on workshop, the key principles of people engagement from respect for people to humble leadership will be explained. These principles will be illustrated with many practical examples and engaging stories. A roadmap will be presented in addition to guidelines that participants can take home and use in their own work.
