EVENT DESCRIPTION
Even though most organizations say, “People are our most important asset” day-to-day actions suggest they don't really believe it. Elite organizations, those that are highly effective at improving, have one key difference from the rest - they elevate the performance of average performers. It is a different way of operating than the norm. Most leaders probably think they operate this way, but unfortunately they don't. Gemba walks provide an opportunity for the walker to get more in touch with reality, to coach team members and to elevate the effectiveness of performance improvement activities.
In this session you will learn:
• How to structure an effective Gemba walk (In the workshop we will do two actual walks)
• Three levers to improve your leadership ability/skills
• Different purposes, based on the type of walk being done
• The importance of effective visuals for performance improvement
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- VPs of manufacturing
- Plant managers
- Supervisors
- Production managers
- Engineers
- Continuous improvement professionals
