Organizational Excellence requires well-designed systems to drive ideal behaviours. This workshop will help you to design systems that will deliver sustainable results.
A successful organization is usually made up of complex systems that can be divided into layers of subsystems, each containing the necessary tools to enable the successful outcome of the system. An example of this would be the Continuous Improvement System which pulls together all of the tools & techniques used by an organisation or the HR System which guides human resource activity.
The Shingo Model Insights tell us that:
-
Ideal results require ideal behaviours
-
Purpose & systems drive behaviours
-
Principles inform ideal behaviours
,
For this reason Systems Thinking is fundamental to the success of Enterprise Excellence and this interactive workshop will provide you with the skills to recognise, define and establish the ‘right’ systems within your own organization. This training workshop builds upon the knowledge and experience gained in the DISCOVER EXCELLENCE* workshop, and focuses on the Systems and Tools diamonds in the Shingo Model™. It begins by explaining that all work in an organization is the outcome of a system.

*DISCOVER EXCELLENCE is a pre-requisite to this workshop
