Leading people and cross functional teams in a lean innovation environment workshop
As part of the Lean Innovation Forum taking place in Madrid from 24 to 26 October 2017, we will host the Leading people and cross functional teams in a lean innovation environment workshop at Toyota Auditorium in the morning of October 24.
Many lean change agents cite “the people” as the biggest challenge in the transformation. This was certainly an experience that Goodyear’s lean champion, Norbert Majerus, also had. He learned that people must be fully engaged in the transformation to produce sustainable results.
A lot has been published about how Toyota manages people – and all of that is very good. But many companies have experienced challenges in copying the Toyota model because they have a different culture and organization.
It is obvious to Goodyear now that they have a different organization and culture and that people must be managed differently. To get there, it helps to understand the principles, specific needs and challenges.
Through the workshop, participants will learn about the experience Goodyear’s innovation centers had during and after the lean transformation.
The workshop is based on the training Goodyear provides to its associates, and includes many industrial examples as well as hands-on exercises through which the participants will understand how to lead the transformation from the people perspective.
Participation in the workshop includes:
- The Leading people and cross-functional teams in a lean innovation environment workshop
- A networking lunch
