Strength-Based LEAN Six Sigma Workshop with David Shaked

Imagine your organization continuously growing the value delivered to your customers AND increasing efficiency in your organization. Imagine your teams discovering the hidden resources in their processes and systems, and finding creative and energizing ways to improve—searching for value rather than waste and deficits. This is truly a more inspiring road towards efficiency, engagement and innovation!

Looking for ways to:

Increase staff engagement and morale?

Inject energy into your quality and efficiency projects?

Explore ways to build upon your strengths?

Then this workshop is for you!

“Strength-Based Lean Six Sigma Thinking” yields fresh insights and remarkable results, maximizing the value across different streams of business, key business processes as well as people management practices.

The Strength-Based LEAN Six Sigma thinking approach shows you how to identify what is already working efficiently AND generating value, and then define ways to grow and expand those good practices elsewhere. It combines the rigour of LEAN and the innovation and energy of Appreciative Inquiry.

In this workshop, you will look at processes through a Strength-based “lens”:

  • The principles of Appreciative Inquiry and other Strength based approaches like Positive Deviance and Solution Focus
  • The Strength-based “state of mind”—useful when approaching any change situation
  • Reframing typical process challenges and Lean Six Sigma topics—how to look at them in an appreciative inquiring way—the power of asking different questions

Reframing commonly used quality improvement tools such as 7 wastes, 5S, DMAIC, PDCA, Value Stream Mapping and fishbone analysis, to a strength-based version

Who should attend?

Leaders, change agents, consultants, teams interested in exploring a different approach to their work whether it be continuous improvement, efficiency, transformational change, increasing engagement and exploring innovation.
