A3 Thinking

Application~, Developing People~, Intermediate~, Leadership~, Solving Problems~

Speciality Workshop Do you think of an A3 as just a document or form to complete? A3 thinking is much more than that! Solving problems is not a linear process, but rather requires iterative thinking, evidence gathering, analysis, and input from stakeholders.

The practice of A3 thinking develops evidence-based problem solving, fosters communication and consensus among stakeholders, and creates better alignment to strategic goals.

Managing Change & Transition

Developing People~, Intermediate~, Leadership~

Change management is most effective when you’re able to integrate change and transition principles into existing change processes. This ultimately helps employees adjust to change through knowledge of the big picture, the purpose of the plan, their part in the change, and the process that will be used to implement the change. People struggle with change because little attention and space is given to the emotional and psychological impacts of change – the transition. This session demonstrates how to manage change and transition effectively by merging the work of change and transition expert William Bridges, Ph.D. with the Lean mindset, methods, and management systems. How you will benefit: Learn the three phases of transition. Explore effective strategies for communicating change and facilitating transitions. Identify action steps to integrate transition…

Leader Standard Work

Application~, Intermediate~, Leadership~

The true purpose of leadership is to empower and develop your employees so they can achieve awesome things.
