Don't miss the Leading with Lean in Healthcare seminar on October 14th!
Featuring David Mann, award-winning Shingo prize author of Creating a Lean Culture
About the Workshop:
This hands-on workshop addresses these questions through a concise, behavior-based model, specific steps, and tools: a lean management system. Lean management along with the process changes of lean implementation leads to a dramatically different culture – a lean culture – and strengthens integration of the “hard” and “soft” sides of lean for sustained success. The workshop moves briskly between brief presentations alternating with hands-on tasks to create working prototypes of the everyday tools of lean management.
Participants will leave with working prototypes of everyday tools for a comprehensive Lean management system.
The agenda for this one-day workshop includes:
- Lean principles
- Process focus for improvement
- Lean management for process focus
- Meet Gotham City Hospital: Scenario analysis
- Visual controls, with prototype creating
- Standard accountability for improvement, with prototype creation
- Leader standard work, with prototype creation
- The leadership challenge
Creating a Lean Culture

8:00 am – 4:00 pm
A key change in management’s emphasis when making the transformation from batch to lean operations is the shift from focusing only on results to equal or greater emphasis on process. The typical difficulties in sustaining Lean implementations in plant or office processes come from management practices that remain unchanged from the prior batch mode of operating.
The standard advice from Lean sensei and how-to books offers little guidance in this area, beyond exhorting leaders to “focus on the process!” leaving managers wondering: “What does that mean? How do we do it?”
