This 2-Day Shingo Discover Excellence workshop is the foundational Shingo workshop and introduces the Shingo Model, the Guiding Principles and the Three Insights of Organisational Excellence.

In this workshop you will witness at first hand how Shingo principles drive behavior throughout the entire organization to deliver world class results. This course is accredited and certified to both the Shingo Institute and CPD service (Continual Professional Development). You will learn to align your organizational principles and core values with your systems. Group activities are used to help develop skills in assessing alignment and how to address misalignments by embedding your principles into your work and management systems.

  • LEARN and understand the Shingo Model
  • DISCOVER the three insights of Organizational Excellence
