Highlights
Learn how to more effectively assess improvement effectiveness in your organization using the AME Excellence Award criteria to provide an alternative perspective.
Overview
Perhaps only 10 percent of organizations in any given industry—including manufacturing, health care, government and other sectors—are highly effective at improving. Why? Because most people don't have the discipline to consistently align daily improvement activities to the organization's key strategies and leaders underestimate the behavioral changes needed by senior executives and middle managers. In this workshop, you will learn practical actions to encourage your organization to consistently practice getting better at getting better. Work a case study that demonstrates the attributes and practices of a company that is highly effective at improving. Walk away with the skills and capabilities of an AME Excellence Award assessor.
