This three-session Virtual workshop integrates classroom and on-site experiences at the award winning Host site. It will help you solidify the knowledge and experience gained from the previous five Shingo workshops. The BUILD EXCELLENCE* workshop demonstrates the integrated relationships and execution of principles, systems, and tools that drive behavior in a culture whilst achieving desired results.

The workshop addresses the Shingo Model in its entirety by developing a structured approach that will accelerate a cultural transformation.  In this final Shingo workshop, you will:

 

  • Discover how the Shingo Model strengthens the execution of your strategy.
  • Learn how to shift your culture, guided by organizational purpose, to the next level.
  • Use Go & Observe to understand the practical application of the Shingo Model.
  • Accelerate your cultural transformation by applying the learnings gained from the Shingo Model into a PDCA cycle.

 

*All Shingo workshops are prerequisites to this capstone workshop.
