You rarely achieve sustainable performance excellence by taking a top down, project-driven approach with fragmented agendas. What you need is a more integrated, inclusive and culture-focused approach to sustainable change. This means designing and putting in place the interdependent components of strategy, processes, best practices, people capability and reward/motivation. This workshop will provide attendees with a framework for just such an approach so that you too can benefit from sustainable improvement where you work.
In this workshop:
- Hear why many improvement initiatives fail.
- Define integrative improvement.
- Learn a systematic process for leading and managing change.
- Employ maturity assessment as a driver for planning best practice implementation.
- Take a holistic approach to organizational design.
- Use knowledge management to facilitate learning between sites.
- Link best-practice implementation to performance improvement.
- Employ people capability development and employee engagement.
- Engage people at your place of work.
