    How to make Enthusiasm for Problem Solving Contagious

    Don’t leave the tools of lean process improvement in the hands of a few “experts”. Creating a culture of engaged problem solvers in your business is not nearly as difficult as it may sound and is the best way to drive outstanding results from your Lean program.

    In this webinar, Richard Holland, Vice President, Europe & India Operations, draws upon nearly two decades of experience as a Lean practitioner to explain how you can make enthusiasm for problem solving contagious.

    “How many people are there in your organization who try to make a difference? How effective are they in improving the various issues? Are the same problems recurring again and again? Are your improvements short lived and struggling to sustain?

    Richard Holland talks about important measurements other than improvement tools which are required to create a culture in which daily improvement is everyone’s responsibility and unpredictable issues are tackled in a structured way. He will present the management system that is required to link the day to day operations of the business to the strategic direction and ensures that improvements are also aligned strategically. Mr. Holland will describe how to deploy this strategy throughout the organization so each individual understands their role in carrying out the organizations goals.

    No matter what structure is in place we need to help people work in that structure and the business culture will need to adjust in order to accept it. Richard will therefore also present the changes in behavior that leaders need to portray to ensure that people are successfully motivated to solve problems at root cause. It is about the business creating the right environment where everyone strives for success. Strangely enough this is not always true....
