PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
For over 100 years organizations have been on the quest for the "Holy Grail" of sustainable high performance. The quest included attempts to include Efficiency Experts, Work Simplification, Total Quality Management, Reengineering, Six Sigma and most recently LEAN Manufacturing Techniques.
All of these approaches seem to demonstrate great potential and frequently initial success. However, they quickly lose momentum and fade to black after a relatively short period of time. Invariably the approach is viewed as having been flawed. A few years later leadership is enthralled by a new approach with a catchy name to reach and sustain high performance. The organization grabs the brass ring and the cycle is repeated.
The workshop examines the importance of leadership, change management, empowerment, communications, effective project planning/management and creating a culture to sustain high performance as a foundation to successful and sustainable high performance.
KEY TAKE-AWAYS
Participants will learn the importance of:
- Understanding why the quest of the "Holy Grail" of sustainable high performance is so elusive
- Knowing the role of effective leadership in making and sustaining the transformation to high performance status
- Understanding and accepting resistance to change; as well as the use of change management tools to make a seamless/painless transition to high performance
- Communicating effectively before, during and after the transformation
