Strength-based Lean Six Sigma
By Invitation - A Small Group Conversation with David Shaked Where do you start your process improvement projects? What are you looking for first? What questions do you ask? Where can you find new (and different) insights for growth as well as engage people in business transformation? In the early evening of Nov. 5, 2015 , in Boston, MA., David Shaked will lead an informal dialogue on operational excellence with a different angle - A more generative, engaging and positive approach to achieving efficient organizations. Strength-based Lean Six Sigma is a new way of approaching process improvement that combines the best practices of two established methodologies into a new approach in order to help you develop and deliver increased high performance in any organization – from healthcare to manufacturing. Strength-based Lean Six Sigma blends the energy, creativity and commitment released through the positive approach of Appreciative Inquiry with the rigor of process improvement generated by Lean Six Sigma thus driving effective and powerful change programs that move beyond problem solving and waste/defects elimination.
During this informal dialogue participants will explore their situations with David and he will share stories from his experience and offer the participants useful insights
