Much of what you read about employee engagement is filled with feel-good advice, the effects of which are largely immeasurable, intangible, and…frankly, ineffective. Even the most popular employee engagement surveys miss the mark in measuring what truly matters.
Outstanding organizations have a unique way of helping each employee realize his or her full potential, while generating significant business results. In this webinar, business performance expert and author of The Outstanding Organization Karen Martin, and Jostle CEO Brad Palmer gave a lively and thought-provoking presentation.
You'll learn:
-The three essential conditions for realizing high levels of engagement:
-Why employee selection and onboarding is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT process to nail in any business
-How to use continuous improvement, critical thinking and problem solving as your central means to engage employees
-How to prepare leaders for a new way of operating
Simple demonstration for the PDCA tool that was popularized by Edwards Deming as a continuous quality improvement tool.
Deming has credited Walter Shewhart (American physicist, engineer and statistician) for inventing the tool

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!

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.

Lean thinking aims to remove wastes from work processes. Before diving into the 8 wastes, it is important to understand what waste is. Waste is any action or step in a process that does not add value to the customer. In other words, waste is any process that the customer does not want to pay for. The original seven wastes (Muda) was developed by Taiichi Ohno, the Chief Engineer at Toyota, as part of the Toyota Production System (TPS). The seven wastes are Talent, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Over processing and Defects. They are often referred to by the acronym ‘TIMWOOD’.
The 8th waste of non-utilized talent or ‘Skills’ of workers was later introduced in the 1990s when the Toyota Production System was adopted in the Western world. As a result, the 8 wastes are commonly referred to as ‘TIMWOODS’.
Walking the Gemba is a process of developing your people.
In today's world, business is growing rapidly; corporates are becoming mammoth in terms of number of employees. It is at times getting somewhat difficult for senior leaders of large corporate houses to stay connected with their employees. Practice The Gemba Walk techniques effective way means almost to get connected with employees.

Businesses routinely attempt to accomplish too much and quickly lose focus when the next fire erupts or a new "shiny ornament" appears.
Strategy Deployment (also known as hoshin kanri and policy deployment) is a highly effective means for prioritizing and maintaining focus on the projects and improvement activities that lead to outstanding business performance. But many organizations need to build fundamental skills before they're ready to fully utilize strategy deployment as it was intended.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to build fundamental skills by:
• Prioritizing 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.
• Gaining organization-wide alignment, the key to successful plan execution.
• Managing 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.

This is material from a webinar regarding the problem with tools-centric approaches to Lean transformation, and where the opportunities lie for a more successful journey.
Over the past two years we've begun to learn more deeply about what REALLY makes the Toyota Production System tick. We've learned that, while tools are necessary, they are not sufficient for creating a Lean enterprise. Leadership, culture, and problem-solving proficiency are common missing links that slow organizational transformation, creating the need to build new skills.

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.

A fundamental lack of CLARITY is often at the root of inefficient processes, errors, poor decisions, and mistrust across the organization. Worse, it's one of the reasons why improvement approaches don't produce greater results and why organizational performance often lags behind desired targets.
Gaining awareness about how often we create and tolerate ambiguity is the first step to making the
necessary behavioral changes across organizations.
In this webinar, you'll learn not only how to recognize this insidious problem, but also how to change your organization's course so that clear information that people can act upon and the unvarnished truth becomes the rule rather than the exception.
Outstanding organizations operate this way. So can you.

In this session, you will learn how to leverage the growing marriage of people and process, what type of development today's employees need, and how to help your leaders give the frontlines greater control over their work, which produces significant boosts to both engagement scores and your company's bottom line.

This webinar was held with guest presenter, Mark Graban of http://www.leanblog.org/
Suggestion box programs, while well intended, usually fail to engage employees in any improvement, yet alone continuous improvement. As one healthcare professional said, referring to their old suggestion box, “That’s where good ideas go to die!”
In comparison, the "kaizen" model for improvement, from Lean and Toyota Production System, however, is alive and thriving in many organizations. This webinar will focus on key differences between suggestion box programs and the kaizen model, giving specific tips and ideas that your organization can adopt to make continuous improvement a daily reality.
Guest Mark Graban shared practical methods and strategies from his new book, co-authored with Joe Swartz, Healthcare Kaizen: Engaging Front-Line Staff in Sustainable Continuous Improvements, that will help you engage employees in meaningful, lasting improvement.

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.

More than 80% of improvement efforts fail to make a discernible difference in overall business performance, regardless of the improvement methodology in use. The reason isn’t a flaw in the methodologies, but a flaw inside of companies. Organizations in all sectors fail to meet their full potential because of self-inflicted chaos.
In this high energy session, Karen Martin will share her findings from more than 20 years of working with organizations of all types and sizes and offer practical how-to’s for preventing and eliminating organizational chaos. Specific topics will include:
• Why Lean, Six Sigma, and other improvement efforts don’t deliver the results you want and need.
• The four fundamental conditions for outstanding performance – and how their opposing conditions are preventing you from moving forward.
• How to instill clarity, focus, discipline and engagement into your organization’s DNA, enabling success!
You will leave the session armed with the know-how to build the organizational behaviors you need to achieve greatness.

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!

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.

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.
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.

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.

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. Ahlström has helped global companies such as Coca-Cola, Volvo, Ericsson and IKEA achieve long-term improvement in performance by supporting the development of a high-performance continuous improvement culture.

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.

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.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
