Business inefficiencies can often be hidden by great customer service, excess inventory, or heroic performance. This is the perfect opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of your operational processes so your business can become more efficient and flexible than before, and you’ll be poised for a quicker recovery! 

This two-hour online workshop will help you to:

• Understand your critical processes 

• Find the waste in your processes

• Identify where you need the most improvement 

• Apply methods to streamline and improve your processes 
  

Professionals are technical experts in their fields, they know how to do surgery, how to teach, how to weld, how to draft legal briefs. It’s what they are good at. Most professionals are not however trained in the field of operational efficiency & improvement and therefore they are wasting precious hours each day and each week on non-value added work. We have created a society that judges people based on how busy they are versus how productive they are, and this is driving the wrong behaviors in our workplaces. In this workshop your team will:

• be introduced to what productivity truly is and is not, and why you should care
• learn how to identify what is the true priority work you need to focus on
• find the minutes & even hours you are unknowingly losing each day
• learn how to maximize and optimize the time you have at work

Daily Management is one of the most engaging tools for any team. These two-hour workshop will train the team on how to run efficient daily huddles (5-7 mins) in order to keep them working efficiently without lengthy meetings. It also includes the implementation of a visual management board which allows the team to always know the plan for the day/week and how they are doing (the score) while at the same time facilitating the reduction of interruptions and increasing time spent on value added work.

In this session, you and you team will:

• learn how to motivate employees without cake & pizza parties
• be introduced to daily management techniques that drive team performance
• learn how to create a visual management board for the team to know the score

Did you know that 25–50% of time at work is spent on tasks that add no real value? Most of that waste hides in the day-to-day — buried under silos, processes, and busywork that feel essential but aren’t.

This eye-opening workshop helps teams spot the hidden inefficiencies in their organization and gives them the tools to eliminate them.

Your team will learn to:

• Understand the difference between functional vs. process-focused organizations
• Identify value-added work vs. waste
• Recognize why “more people” or “more money” isn’t always the solution
• Spot all types of process waste
• Apply practical solutions to reduce or eliminate that waste
  
  

Perfect for teams that want to work smarter, not harder — and finally get more value from their efforts.

Operational inefficiencies can often hide behind great customer service, extra inventory, or team members going above and beyond — until they start slowing you down. Once exposed, these inefficiencies present an opportunity to redesign for greater impact and efficiency.

This workshop will help you and your team:

• Understand how to map processes in your organization
• Spot hidden areas of waste
• Distinguish critical processes from supporting ones
• Prioritize what needs the most improvement
• Learn practical ways to streamline and optimize operations
