Improving speed to delivery by focusing on the flow of value
"This workshop gave me the framework and way to articulate value and the 'so what' of spending the time"
Learn how to create a culture of continuous improvement and optimise your team's performance through the principles of flow. By visualising work, limiting work in progress, and stopping starting, you can streamline workflows, reduce sources of delay, and create a laser focus on achieving goals.
This workshop is built on a deep body of knowledge including practical applications of lean principles, all made practical and accessible in your context. Understanding some of these concepts will create a shift in mindset and in the long term a shift in culture.
Our experienced trainers guide you though applying these principles to your specific context, enabling you to reduce lead time, and improve efficiency. Additionally, by showing you how to measure for learning, you will gain valuable tools for ongoing improvement and collaboration.
