This year has made any inefficiency or gap in our operational processes blatantly obvious. What may have been hidden before by exceptional customer service or excess inventory or heroic performance has now been highlighted. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused all of us to stop, very abruptly, and re-evaluate who we are, what we are or were doing and we can do now. It is also the perfect opportunity for us to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational processes. This 2 hr session will help you and your team:

• Understand what processes you have in your organization and which ones are critical versus enablers
• Prioritize the areas requiring the most improvement due to the gaps felt over the last 8 weeks
• How to map our your processes and identify the areas of process waste that go unnoticed
• Methods to streamline and improve your processes to be more efficient and flexible going forward

Daily Management is one of the most engaging tools for any team. These two days will train the team on how to run efficient daily huddles (5-7 mins) in order to keep them working efficiently without lengthy meetings. It also includes the implementation of a visual management board which allows the team to always know the plan for the day/week and how they are doing (the score) while at the same time facilitating the reduction of interruptions and increasing time spent on value added work. In this session, you and you team will:

• learn how to motivate employees without cake & pizza parties
• be introduced to daily management techniques that drive team performance
• learn how to create a visual management board for the team to know the score

Professionals are technical experts in their fields, they know how to do surgery, how to teach, how to weld, how to draft legal briefs. It’s what they are good at. Most professionals are not however trained in the field of operational efficiency & improvement and therefore they are wasting precious hours each day and each week on non-value added work. We have created a society that judges people based on how busy they are versus how productive they are, and this is driving the wrong behaviors in our workplaces. In this workshop your team will:

• be introduced to what productivity truly is and is not, and why you should care
• learn how to identify what is the true priority work you need to focus on
• find the minutes & even hours you are unknowingly losing each day
• learn how to maximize and optimize the time you have at work

25-50% of time at work is not actually spent doing something of value. Most organizations evolve over time into vertical silos or functional groupings of tasks: HR, finance, manufacturing, operations, shipping, sales. All of these functional areas have their own priorities and deadlines. But, the value being created by the work done flows horizontally and not vertically. This is where the waste hides.

The waste, or non-value added work, is what makes the day hard, frustrating, and often demotivating. Eliminating the waste in your day-to-day processes isn’t nearly as difficult as first being able to see it and recognize it as waste. In this workshop, your team will:

• learn the differences between functional and process focused organizations
• be able to identify what value added work is, versus value enabling & pure waste
• learn why simply adding more people or more capital never works to improve things
• be introduced to all the forms of process waste and how to identify them
• learn solutions to minimizing & even eliminating waste in your processes

This webinar will help you and your team prepare for post-Covid recovery and be more ready to weather future unexpected events.  This two-hour session will help you:

• Develop a Response Plan for re-opening your business.  
• Identify the critical roles and responsibilities for your “Plan Ahead” team.
• Develop or improve key processes to help you be ready for future challenges.
