Real-World VSM Facilitation Examples
• Two VPs arguing over which leader’s area should perform a
certain process
• Discussion about outsourcing a functional area that will result
in 30 people being laid off
• Candid discussion about the risk of losing the company’s #1
customer
• Candid discussion about a legal or regulatory matter
• Value stream needs level loading, work balancing and pull
© 2015 The Karen Martin Group, Inc. 39
Real-World MBPM Facilitation Examples
• Frontline team member begins to recognize that the work he
does is 100% non-value-adding
• Supervisor dictates future state improvement ideas
• Manager reveals that she doesn’t support the targets begin
set (nor the objective of the mapping session)
• Team doesn’t feel authorized to make tactical decisions
• Two team members have obvious tension between them
• A team member shuts down
