Developing Lean Leaders: TOYOTA WAY

The Missing Piece in Lean Transformations

DATE & LOCATION

June 12th, Perú

June 14th, chile

Description

Companies around the world boast about the results they have achieved from their lean programs. Yet despite all the lean projects that have been implemented over the past two decades, no company in any industry in the world has attained the same level of consistent operational excellence in its field as Toyota has. What are these companies missing? The answer is leadership with the right skills and knowledge to teach and coach others to use disciplined approaches to process improvement.  In The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership (with Gary Convis, former Toyota managing officer) we present a leadership development model and use examples from Toyota to illustrate the patient painstaking process of growth of leaders from developing themselves, to developing others, to leading daily kaizen and finally maturing to aligned goals from top to bottom and sideways using hoshin kanri (policy deployment).
