Lean Transformation Program

A Lean Transformation program is one of the best investments any organization can make. The return on investment (ROI) is better than many other strategic initiatives. Eliminating waste will improve customer satisfaction, increase revenue (or impact), and reduce costs.

The best Lean programs will contain three critical components:

1. Lean Projects: Our research and experience has revealed the key to success is executing well-defined Lean projects. These projects must engage employees to eliminate waste and deliver significant improvements.
2. Continuous Improvement: Lean projects will provide you better and stable processes. This is the time to leverage continuous improvement to keep getting better and respond to the constant change swirling around you.
3. Program Management: Maintaining a portfolio of improvement projects, communicating the exciting accomplishments, dealing with change management, and providing educational events for everyone are just some of the requirements for a successful Lean Transformation. You need a champion focused on your Lean Transformation program.

Effective Problem Solving

Problem solving is one of the most sought after skills. Organizations need people who can find and eliminate the root cause of complex problems. The easy problems have been solved! Eliminating the complex problems will improve customer satisfaction, increase revenue (or impact), and reduce costs.

The best Problem Solving programs will contain three critical components:

1. Problem Solver: People solve problems and need the knowledge, time, and support required to identify the root cause and implement sustainable solutions. The Problem Solver takes responsibility to solve the problem through a systematic process to develop and champion a sustainable solution which eliminates the root cause.
2. Coach: If there is any silver bullet when it comes to problem solving, then coaching is that bullet. The Coach takes responsibility to guide the Problem Solver through a process and provide advice on options and alternatives for being successful. A Coach unlocks a person’s potential to maximize their own performance by helping them to learn.
3. Systematic Methodology: Getting to the root cause and implementing sustainable solutions is most effective when using a systematic, or step by step, approach. Chaotic trial and error can be fun in a laboratory. It’s not so fun when a problem keeps coming back. Your customers, suppliers, or employees wonder who is routinely driving your bus into the ditch.
