Of all the organizational capabilities to be developed, problem solving takes the top spot. Yet all too often organizations lack a clear and effective method for solving problems that the entire workforce is proficient in.
These are the slides for the webinar of the same name, available at www.ksmartin.com/webinars
In the webinar--the 4th of 5 webinars based on content from Karen’s latest book, Clarity First--you learn a question-based problem solving method (CLEAR) that helps people at all levels of the organization become stronger problem solvers. You'll also learn the proper way to build these capabilities at all levels of your organization.
If you haven't taken it already, we recommend you take the Clarity First Quiz to see how you and your organization rate (www.clarityfirstquiz.com). You may also be interested in purchasing the book to obtain a deeper understanding that can lead to deeper understanding - www.clarityfirstbook.com.

Too many organizations today suffer from silo-centric behavior and intra-organizational conflict. And yet most don’t understand what’s holding them back from achieving outstanding performance. This is where Karen Martin’s new book Value Stream Mapping comes into play.
Value stream mapping can unleash the full potential of an organization and deliver greater customer value, increased profit margins, and create fulfilling work environments.
In this talk, Karen discussed how to:
• Prepare and engage your leadership team in the transformation process
• Gain a deep understanding about your current work systems and the related barriers to delivering value
• Design a future state that enables outstanding performance on all fronts

Too many organizations today suffer from silo-centric behavior and intra-organizational conflict. Yet most don’t understand what’s holding them back from achieving outstanding performance.
Value Stream Mapping (VSM), popularized in Mike Rother and John Shook’s landmark book Learning to See, is a highly effective method for improving performance across an organization. However, VSM is commonly misunderstood, misapplied and under-utilized. Properly executed, value stream mapping is much more than an operations design tool. It also results in a more engaged and knowledgeable leadership team; surfaces hidden cultural and organizational issues; and aligns values, resources, goals and priorities.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to
* Use value stream mapping as an organizational transformation tool
* Properly scope and plan for a value stream mapping activity
* Obtain leadership consensus about the future state design
* Create and execute a highly effective Value Stream Transformation Plan

Value Stream Mapping is a powerful way to improve performance across a large portion of an enterprise. But, before you dive into mapping, there are significant steps you must take to assure a successful outcome. In this webinar, award-winning author, Karen Martin shares the proper preparation an organization must take to reap the full set of benefits Value Stream Mapping offers.
Topics include:
Leadership – what is their role?
Scoping – how "big” should you go?
Team formation – who are the right people to include?
Facilitator selection – what traits and skills are needed?
Charter development and socialization – it’s far more than a planning tool!
Logistics & communication – how do you make sure everyone is engaged and prepared?

For decades now, "management" has been synonymous with managing people. Meanwhile, processes, the lifeblood of an organization, remain largely unmanaged. In this webinar, Karen shares her views on why we need to change our thinking and her practical how-to's for making this vital pivot.
These are the slides for the webinar https://vimeo.com/507636848
Since releasing her book, Clarity First, Karen has continued to analyze, experiment, and reflect on the strong connection between operating with clarity and successfully deploying Lean management—or any improvement-centric management philosophy. She’s learned that addressing the need for clarity head-on is an accelerant.
In this webinar, Karen discusses:
• The personal and organizational benefits of operating with clarity
• The three ways people approach clarity
• How to use Lean Management practices—the 5 P’s—to cultivate clarity
With a strong appetite for and courage to operate with clarity, there's no limit to individual and organizational performance!

Operating with clear processes makes or breaks organizational performance and it's an aspect of operations that is often fairly weak. Measuring organizational performance—whether overall performance or the performance of a small work team—is another area that we find often organizations struggling with.
In this webinar—the 3rd of 5 webinars based on content from my latest book, Clarity First—you'll learn the five criteria for robust process management and best practices for measuring and managing performance at any level in the organization. Additional topics will include creating and using standard work, how to properly roll out process changes, and avoiding measurement that drives the wrong behaviors.

A lack of clarity costs companies, educational institutions, government agencies, and nonprofits billions of dollars a year. Beyond the red ink, this lack of clarity also inserts unnecessary risk, demotivates team members, and causes customers to question whether the organization can deliver value.
On a personal front, a lack of clarity creates interpersonal tension and hurts the mission of otherwise well-meaning leaders.
In this webinar, Karen shares what clarity is and how a lack of clarity leads to poor performance--both organizationally and personally--and eroding trust. She shares powerful ways to operate with greater clarity to unleash the potential of people and organizations alike.

Effective problem solving is not an innate skill that most people are born with.
Even for those few few lucky ones who are born with natural problem-solving talent, it is often drummed out of them by parents, teachers, and bosses. And those whose academic preparation would lead you to believe that they're highly skilled in this area (such as engineers and physicians) regularly fall prey to sloppy problem solving.
The good news is that effective problem solving is a skill that can be developed. Everyone can learn to solve problems effectively given the will and ample practice with a skilled coach/teacher.
This webinar focuses on the P (plan) phase of the PDSA/PDCA cycle (plan-do-study-adjust), which is the most difficult phase of scientific problem solving for people to master. Topics include:
• Setting a target condition
• Problem clarification
• Scoping and qualifying the problem
• Root cause analysis
Watch this lively discussion and learn the important first steps for closing the gap between where you are and where you'd like or need to be.

Businesses routinely attempt to accomplish too much and quickly lose focus when the next fire erupts or a new "shiny ball" appears.
Strategy Deployment (also known as hoshin kanri and policy deployment) is a highly effective means for creating and maintaining focus on the projects and improvement activities that lead to outstanding business performance.
Though Strategy Deployment (SD) was developed in the 1950's, it's experiencing a resurgence due to the growing popularity of Lean practices and SD's vital role in creating the climate for success.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to:
• Prioritize the laundry list of what you COULD focus on as an organization and create a "must do, can't fail" list of what you WILL focus on.
• Gain organization-wide alignment, the key to successful plan execution.
• Manage the plan to keep distractions at bay and generate the level of results all organizations are capable of.
In short, you'll learn how to accomplish meaningful improvement in a way that aligns rather than divides, and puts improvement in its rightful place as an integral part of achieving overarching business goals.

In Lean conversations, we often hear “it’s 10% tools and 90% people,” “we need to change the culture,” and “they just don’t get it.” While each of these statements may be true, they all reflect that something is missing in our problem-solving and transformation attempts—and that missing element is helping people change their behaviors. In reality if we don’t change the way the organization thinks and behaves, on a day-to-day basis, we won’t significantly impact performance levels.
This workshop includes both theory and practical application around the behaviors of excellence: organizational clarity, focus, discipline, and widespread employee engagement. Activities include class discussions and four major activities representing each of the dimensions.
The clarity activity centers on the words we use and how ambiguity and "softened" language hinders performance. The focus activity is a timed simulation that demonstrates how working on fewer projects at a time increases the total number of projects completed in a comparable given time period. Participants learn metrics-based process mapping, a highly disciplined process for standardizing work. In the final activity, participants practice techniques that lead to engagement and disengagement.
value stream mapping and metrics based process mappingTKMG, Inc.
Since Mike Osterling and I released our latest book, Value Stream Mapping, we've received a lot of questions about which level of mapping--value stream vs. process--people should opt for and why/when. We've also continued to hear people claim that value stream mapping team members should include the front-line staff. Not so.

Businesses routinely attempt to accomplish too much and quickly lose focus when the next fire erupts or a new "shiny ball" appears.
Strategy Deployment (also known as hoshin kanri and policy deployment) is a highly effective means for creating and maintaining focus on the projects and improvement activities that lead to outstanding business performance.
Though Strategy Deployment (SD) was developed in the 1950's, it's experiencing a resurgence due to the growing popularity of Lean practices and SD's vital role in creating the climate for success.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to:
• Prioritize the laundry list of what you COULD focus on as an organization and create a "must do, can't fail" list of what you WILL focus on.
• Gain organization-wide alignment, the key to successful plan execution.
• Manage the plan to keep distractions at bay and generate the level of results all organizations are capable of.
In short, you'll learn how to accomplish meaningful improvement in a way that aligns rather than divides, and puts improvement in its rightful place as an integral part of achieving overarching business goals.

In Lean conversations, we often hear “it’s 10% tools and 90% people,” “we need to change the culture,” and “they just don’t get it.” While each of these statements may be true, they all reflect that something is missing in our problem-solving and transformation attempts—and that missing element is helping people change their behaviors. In reality if we don’t change the way the organization thinks and behaves, on a day-to-day basis, we won’t significantly impact performance levels.
This workshop includes both theory and practical application around the behaviors of excellence: organizational clarity, focus, discipline, and widespread employee engagement. Activities include class discussions and four major activities representing each of the dimensions.
The clarity activity centers on the words we use and how ambiguity and "softened" language hinders performance. The focus activity is a timed simulation that demonstrates how working on fewer projects at a time increases the total number of projects completed in a comparable given time period. Participants learn metrics-based process mapping, a highly disciplined process for standardizing work. In the final activity, participants practice techniques that lead to engagement and disengagement.
value stream mapping and metrics based process mappingTKMG, Inc.
Since Mike Osterling and I released our latest book, Value Stream Mapping, we've received a lot of questions about which level of mapping--value stream vs. process--people should opt for and why/when. We've also continued to hear people claim that value stream mapping team members should include the front-line staff. Not so.
These are the slides for a webinar delivered on 12-17-2015. The recording is available at:

Metrics-Based Process Mapping (MBPM) is a methodology that was developed to support the adoption of lean practices in office, service, and knowledge work environments.
Designed and developed by Karen Martin & Mike Osterling, this technique integrates the functional orientation of conventional swim-lane process maps with the time and quality metrics used in value stream mapping.
The Excel tool provides improvement teams with an easy way to electronically archive and distribute current and future state MBPMs created with paper and Post-it® notes.
Over the 16 years that we've been providing support to organizations at nearly every stage of the Lean journey, leadership has consistently emerged as the single most important determinant of success. Those organizations with strong leadership engagement soar, while those who don't fail to experience significant transformation.
These are the materials for Karen's third (and final) of three webinars on Lean Leadership. In this webinar, Karen reviewed the system of Lean principles, management practices, and tools, and then focuses on the role of leaders in understanding their organization's value streams, setting the strategic direction for value stream transformation, and monitoring the cycle of improvement.

A3 management is a fundamental Lean management practice for making effective improvement, solving problems, developing people, and building a learning organization.
While this disciplined approach generates more effective and sustainable results than traditional problem solving, it’s arguably the process of developing skilled coaches that carries the greatest organizational benefits -- including the cultural shifts needed to accelerate transformation.
With practice, the organization becomes more responsive, focused, and effective in delivering value to its customers and attracting and retaining talent.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• The mechanics of using PDSA (plan-do-study-adjust) for solving problems.
• The vital role coaching plays in building organization-wide problem solving capabilities.
• How to break the “telling” habit that disrespects a worker’s creative potential.
• How to systematically build coaching capabilities to accelerate learning.
Big Data Analytics: The Move Toward Rapid ExperimentationBrillio
Being able to set the appropriate context to ask real questions of this massive quantity of data is how companies will spark change that truly matters. And we must be able to do that now, in the moment – and not minutes, days, weeks, or even months later.
Making Problem Management Work for Your OrganizationAtlassian
Houston, we have a problem. Too many companies are fixated on the definitions of ITIL and problem management instead of actually getting value out of them. When you don't have a bonafide problem management policy, plus the training and skills to back it up, your team is likely to spend too much energy on ineffective activities. But there's hope. IT veteran John Custy will introduce the concepts you need to understand, dispel a few misconceptions, and explain the different problem management methodologies. He'll also cover the pros and cons of each methodology, and when to use each of them.

What Your Customers Really Do Online: 5 Ways to Remove the GuessworkOptimizely
As digital marketers and experience leaders, we have increasingly reduced our customers to merely data points, line graphs, and bar charts.
The problem is that we are losing the necessary insight and experimentation to understand human behavior across digital channels. To uncover our customers’ true intent, and ultimately understand the behavioral impact on the bottom line, we need to start asking WHY.
In this webinar, hear from experts from Clicktale and Optimizely as they share experiences from working with brands like Samsung, Missguided, and RBS to uncover:
- What data and insights can uncover about customers’ digital behavior
- How to align metrics that look at measuring the experience, not just conversion

If you want to check the recording of this webinar, go to: https://hubs.ly/H0chjcC0
Unknown risk can create considerable concern and worrying. However, known risk can be a secret weapon - empowering you to avoid wasteful spending and allocate resources more effectively. Monte Carlo simulation in Companion by Minitab can help you foresee the variety of outcomes likely to occur when you alter different variables.
You will learn how you can:
1. Ensure products meet their intended specifications by studying the process inputs and developing a (y=f(x)) equation that describes the process.
2. Take the equation further by considering the uncertainty in the inputs - which results in a more realistic view of the response.
3. Perform Monte Carlo simulation to predict process capability, and to identify the best strategy to determine optimal process settings using parameter optimization and sensitivity analysis.

In this webinar, Karen discusses:
• The personal and organizational benefits of operating with clarity
• The three ways people approach clarity
• How to use Lean Management practices—the 5 P’s—to cultivate clarity
With a strong appetite for and courage to operate with clarity, there's no limit to individual and organizational performance!

Clarity First: Overview (1 of 5 webinars)TKMG, Inc.
A lack of clarity costs companies, educational institutions, government agencies, and nonprofits billions of dollars a year. Beyond the red ink, this lack of clarity also inserts unnecessary risk, creates demotivating workplaces, and causes customers to question whether the organization can deliver value.
These are the slides for the first of 5 webinars based on the content in Karen’s latest book, Clarity First. In this webinar, Karen shares what clarity is and why people and organizations need it. She also shows how pursuing clarity is at the core of Lean management systems, and is both the greatest reason for resistance and the most powerful way to unleash the potential of people and organizations alike.

Why is it that even the most successful lean projects often go unrecognized in the executive suites? The issue may be lack of alignment – the fact that executives don't see a connection between Lean progress and the corporate agenda that they are expected to fulfill.
This webinar will help directors, managers, supervisors, Lean champions, and consultants understand how corporate agendas affect executive attention and decision making, and what this means for Lean projects.
Participants will learn how to cultivate an ear for business developments that concern executives, and to communicate Lean results in a language that will resonate with all senior leaders.
The evidence will be drawn from the author’s new book The Lean CEO (McGraw-Hill), which explains, through in-depth CEO interviews, the circumstances leading to enterprise-wide adoption of lean in 28 organizations.
About the presenter:
Jacob Stoller is a Toronto-based writer and consultant who has helped business leaders tell their stories for the past 15 years. His recent book, The Lean CEO, uses narratives from 28 lean-practicing CEOs to illustrate the true meaning of a lean transformation. A frequent commentator in the business press, Jacob has delivered a variety of learning events in Canada and the US, and authored documents for clients such as Microsoft, Dell Computer, Staples, Pitney Bowes, International Data Corporation (IDC), CMA Canada, and the Conference Board of Canada.

Organizational culture – everybody talks about it, few understand its underlying mechanisms and even fewer know how to truly establish the culture they need to succeed.
A structure that enforces discipline can help you develop necessary habits, but that won't be enough to achieve breakthrough performances and ensure long-term success. That requires establishing an atmosphere where people wholeheartedly engage in their work and are enthusiastic about continuously improving it. This is where culture comes in. Culture is the abstract root cause for why teams with the same training, following the same routine and using the same tools, can produce completely different results.
In this webinar, you'll get a completely new perspective of what organizational culture is and learn how to establish a culture where your entire organization continuously and methodically improves!
Joakim Ahlström is an internationally recognized expert on establishing continuous improvement cultures and helping organizations achieve excellence in all fronts. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, he’s the author of How to Succeed with Continuous Improvement and the Head of Consulting at C2 Management.

All too often people use Lean solely to drive daily incremental improvement (kaizen). What we don't hear as much about is the power of Lean to create substantive business improvement (kaikaku), such as gaining significant market share, growing sales within existing customers, creating disruptive products, increasing cash flow, and growing margins. Margin growth is especially important. Even non-profits need money to reinvest in their operations.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to make improvements that grow your top and bottom lines. You can create better work environments that deeply engage the workforce, while also thrilling your CFO, shareholders, and Board. THIS is what assures that Lean management continues to be taken seriously.
Specifically, you will learn:
• How to calculate the financial impact of your improvement efforts.
• Ways for improving margins (profit) through expense reduction (but not layoffs!).
• Improvements that help grow your top line (revenue/sales).
• How to engage executives in the process.

Showing respect for people is something that most people agree with in theory. But many organizations don't show respect the way it’s meant in Lean management. The result? Poor business performance, difficulty attracting and retaining talent, and customer service that leaves much to be desired.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• Why respect goes far beyond how you interact with someone.
• How work systems & processes create disrespect.
• How blame and disrespect are inextricably linked.
• How robust problem-solving demonstrates respect for people.
• How to use improvement to build a highly respectful culture.
People work far too many hours and give too much to organizations to not receive respect in return. Watch to learn how.
