Release the Performance Already Inside Your Organization
Build a management system that makes continuous improvement stick
OVERVIEW
Maria Mentzer is co-founder of See to Solve with Steve Spear.
Toyota brings them in to help train its own Tier 1 suppliers in the Toyota Production System.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll get to experience for yourself the learning-by-doing approach they use to build that capability.
You’ll work through a real leadership case and a hands-on paper airplane simulation, learning by doing what it takes to build improvement into the way people work every day.
You’ll walk away with a practical understanding of how to unleash more of the performance trapped inside your organization.

1. See where performance gets trapped and what leaders can change to release it.
