Strength based Lean Six Sigma

Workshop with David Shaked

Coming back to The Netherlands!

The workshop Strength-based Lean Six Sigma is a unique two day inspiring experience for professionals who work with Lean, Lean Six Sigma or proces management and want to add a new and tantalising perspective to their work.

Why Strength-based Lean Six Sigma?

Strength-based Lean Six Sigma is a new way of approaching process improvement that combines the best practices of two established methodologies to generate a new approach in order to help you develop and deliver increased high performance in any organisation.

Strength-based Lean Six Sigma blends the energy, creativity and commitment released through the strengths-based approach of Appreciative Inquiry with the rigour of process improvement generated by Lean Six Sigma. It creates a more generative and engaging way to a sustainable organisation.
Strength-based Lean Six Sigma creates a paradigmshift in quality thinking!

Looking at processes through a Strength-based ‘lens’

• Invites us to discover the power and possibilities in processes

• Offers insights in processes that you would not have seen with traditional improvement methods

• Creates energy and motivation by focussing on what is working well

• Leads to innovation in an easier way

• Offers faster and more sustainable improvement

For professionals who are already working with Lean Six Sigma in their organisation the Strength based approach is a valuable upgrade to bring process improvement to a higher level.

That is why we are offering this two day workshop which is running successfully in The Netherlands for a few years now. 

In the workshop you will learn and experience the following:

• The principals of Appreciative Inquiry and other Strength based approaches like Positive Deviance and Solution Focus

• The Strength-based ‘state of mind’ - useful when approaching any change situation

• Reframing typical process challenges and Lean topics:
  - how to look at them in an appreciative inquiring way
  - the power of asking different questions

• Reframing commonly used Lean tools such as 7 wastes, 5S, DMAIC, PDCA, Value Stream Mapping and fishbone analysis, to a strength-based version

• Practice with the strength-based approach in your own process

• Discover what the characteristics of Strength-based Lean Six Sigma are

The workshop is interactive and will include work in small teams.
You will take home insights and tools which  can be applied immediately.

Extra!

To help you make a start with applying the strength-based approach in your own work or practice, we offer you a 2 hour coaching on Skype (value € 250,00). You can choose on which moment after the workshop you want to have this coaching.
