This three-session workshop integrates classroom and on-site experiences virtually at a host facility to build upon the knowledge and experience gained in the DISCOVER EXCELLENCE* workshop.
It takes you deeper into the Shingo Model™ by focusing on the principles identified in the Enterprise Alignment dimension:,
The ENTERPRISE ALIGNMENT workshop continues the discussion around defining ideal behaviours and the systems that drive them. The workshop is delivered over three sessions (13:00 – 18:00 BST – 14-16 September).
*DISCOVER EXCELLENCE is a prerequisite to this workshop.
