Lean Transformation Summit 2008
21 November 2008 - Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London, UK
Over 300 delegates listened to 12 presentations on lean process, lean management, lean leadership, lean transformation and lean strategy at the first one day UK Lean Transformation Summit for senior managers on 21st November 2008 at the QE II Conference Centre in London.
Audience reaction was very positive and we will organize further events of this kind in the future.
What the Summit was about
Are you realising that there is more to lean than engaging employees in eliminating waste through deploying lean tools, running rapid improvement events and sending lean experts from HQ to help?
Are you struggling to get functional managers to cooperate in linking activities across your organisation and beyond into seamless end-to-end processes that deliver more value at lower cost?
How much time do your managers spend fire-fighting instead of leading process improvement activities and developing the problem skills of their employees?
Are you using the scientific method to define your key objectives, to plan your improvement activities and to reflect and spread the results across your entire organisation?
Are you spending a huge amount of time and effort to sell your products to strangers rather than working with your customers to help them solve their problems?
