The Lean journey to consistent near-perfect performance requires continuously aligning People to Process resulting in improved business performance. This 2 day workshop will teach attendees high performance team theory, share lessons learned and best practices, and generate a rich learning environment to help any team improve their business performance—Heartbeat Leaders First! What do Lean Best Practice Companies have in common? “Heartbeat” Leaders whose performance is the leading indicator of the core business metrics: team engagement, cost, schedule, quality, and safety. We call them different names like Foreman, Team Leaders, Planners, Sales Representatives, and Procurement Specialist but they served the same key roles regardless of location—they get the job done! If they have a good day everyone has a good day and if they have a bad day then everyone has a bad day. This workshop will shine a spotlight on how to identify, train, prepare, and develop Heartbeat Leaders so their first day is a performance day not a “let’s see how this goes day.“ An overwhelming amount of organizational effort is spent measuring, managing, and controlling the business process often described in cost, schedule, quality, safety. These are all lagging performance indicators. The true leading indicator of future business performance is engaged teams, who understand the rules of the game, and have focused on those leaders who are the Heartbeat of the business.
