OPERATIONAL DIAGNOSIS “THE TOYOTA WAY”
We will analyze the established management systems, interview different functions and members of the organization, from management to key operational positions. We also analyze the evolution of Indicators (KPI) over previous timeframes with the main objective to identify evidence of Toyota Way’s 4Ps (Philosophy, Process, People, Problem Solving), established in the organization, reviewing their maturity level, and how they are aligned with the company’s goals.
We relate the current management system with the behaviors generated to define the current situation and visualize the gaps against an ideal state (true north). At the end of the assessment, we deliver a strategic roadmap that will be the multi-year work plan deployed by the management team.
SUPPORT IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF SYSTEMS
In a coaching structure, the systems are deployed by the assigned management team, being advised and receiving feedback from the consulting team. Direct responsibility falls on the departmental managers responsible for the deployment. The consultant team will provide the general guidelines, as well as the means for the development of tools by the internal team.
COACHING AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
It is imperative to begin with the development of leaders who clearly understand their vital role as coaches and facilitators. It is important to develop personally before developing others, creating leaders who live the principles and values of the company, aligned with the principles of operational excellence. The initial development of leaders must be at the managerial level, since they will forge the cultural progress of their organization by means of the systems and behaviors that are established.
