This will include exploring how teams form and develop and understanding the skills of influencing and communicating to improve engagement.

Operational Improvement & Efficiency – An introduction to LEAN thinking (Lean Masterclass 1)
LEAN thinking is well developed in public and commercial sector organisations and is an accepted way of organising work to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction through simplification and standardisation. It focuses on creating value and capacity. This MasterClass provides an overview to the principles and techniques associated with improving efficiency through LEAN thinking.
To illustrate how this might be applied in their organisations, delegates will explore a model comprising the ‘7 Wastes of LEAN’, the ‘6 Process Truths’, ‘5 LEAN principles’, ‘4 LEAN laws’ and ‘3 rules for organisational redesign’.
Operational Improvement & Efficiency – Adding Value and Recognising Waste through LEAN thinking (Lean Masterclass 2)
This Masterclass explains the detailed use of techniques that show that if an organisation is LEAN and provides delegates with some tools to test in their organisation. Delegates will build on the learning from the first MasterClass and through examples and debate will develop an understanding of what truly adds value for customers. They will learn why this is important and how this highlights opportunities for operational improvement in any organisation.
Techniques such as Value Stream Mapping, Process Mapping, Value Analysis and Cause and Effect analysis, will be introduced.
Operational Improvement & Efficiency – Implementing LEAN thinking (Lean Masterclass 3)
This Masterclass discusses the problems and challenges to be overcome when implementing LEAN thinking and improving efficiency. We begin by discussing the learning that delegates have taken from the “LEAN review” of their organisations conducted after MasterClass 2. Implementation techniques, including Rapid Experiment Techniques will be discussed and reviewed for applicability in different situations. We will then discuss the common problems that organisations experience when trying to use LEAN and when looking to introduce a culture of continuous improvement. Delegates will be shown tips on how to overcome resistance. Finally, methods of measuring improvement, including costs will be discussed.
