Slide share presentation - building a people-centric culture

Association for Manufacturing Excellence

For years, manufacturing companies have been striving towards enterprise excellence throughout their organizations utilizing the philosophy, thinking and tools of lean. There are two basic pillars of lean including continuous improvement tools, and respect for people. There has been a very strong focus on the continuous improvement tools (kaizens, value stream mapping, A3 problem solving, 5S, cells/flow, setup reduction, etc.) with very little emphasis on respect for people. Businesses struggle with understanding the skills and abilities of leadership at every level of the organization required to inspirationally lead towards excellence. As a result of the combination of the process initiatives over the past 100 years, seven out of eight people report leaving their jobs each day feeling that they work for a company that does not care about them. People are disengaged and unenthusiastic about their work resulting in huge losses of productivity to the entire organization. Recently, the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), the premier not-for-profit organization dedicated to the journey of continuous improvement and enterprise excellence, invited Barry-Wehmiller to partner with them in addressing the challenges facing manufacturing today. Together they hope to lead the way in transforming manufacturing companies through adoption of people-centric leadership practices. Their vision is to ignite a manufacturing renaissance driven by people-centric leadership coupled with enterprise excellence.

1 Coffee Pot, Many Disciplines: Why Space Matters for Innovation

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

These are the often requested slides from a SXSW 2013 presentation by MIT Prof. Sanjay Sarma and I about the importance of space design and location for innovation, with very specific recommendations. One example is the often overlooked importance of a coffee system. Investing in a great central coffee system can promote serendipitous human collisions from multiple disciplines and thereby increase innovation.

Business networking- Perspectives, practices and tools for a sharing economy

Rajiv Upadhyay

What distinguishes highly successful people from everyone else is the way they use the power of relationships - so that everyone wins. The secret to accomplishing personal career objectives can be found in reaching out and helping other people in what they want to accomplish. So if you want to exercise more influence and impact on your stakeholders and see your recommendations being implemented more often, networking is the place to start.

Jane will answer this question by considering the ‘anti-problem’. She will share 10 ways designers and business people can guarantee their behaviours and activities will ensure they never see eye-to-eye, their efforts will be wasted and everyone involved will know it is not their fault. You will probably recognise most of these techniques in action in your own organisation. That is the anti-pattern. If things are going to change for the better, do the opposite.
