Excellence Culture

“The only thing of real importance that leaders do is to create and manage culture. If you do not manage culture, it manages you—and you may not even be aware of the extent to which this is happening.”

(Edgar Schein, Professor Emeritus, MIT Sloan School of Management)

Systems Design

Management Seminare Kassel
Management Seminare Kassel

This two-day workshop integrates practical instruction with on-site experience at a host company. Building on the knowledge and experiences from the DISCOVER EXCELLENCE workshop, it focuses on the “Systems” diamond in the Shingo Model™. We begin by explaining why all work in an organization is the result of a system and how systems must be designed to achieve a specific goal. Otherwise, systems will develop on their own. Systems drive the behavior of people. Variations in behavior lead to variations in results. Organizational excellence requires well-designed systems to promote the ideal behaviors necessary to achieve sustainable results.

Content:

  • The three most important systems
  • The five key communication tools
  • Creating system maps
  • Using system standard work
  • Driving improvements

Tink Tank Recap – April 3

At our last Think Tank, we had an engaging discussion about how Continuous Improvement (CI) can become an integral part of company culture. Two real-world examples — the 5S principle, where workplaces gradually slipped back into old habits, and an underused problem-solving whiteboard — made one point particularly clear:

The feeling of togetherness doesn’t happen by itself — it is the result of continuous effort and intentional team building.

Key to driving sustainable change are team spirit, communication, and individual accountability. One particularly inspiring insight was the realization that, as experts, we often forget how challenging it can be to grasp a topic for the first time. Becoming aware of this fosters understanding and helps create an open learning culture. A heartfelt thank you to all participants for their valuable contributions — we look forward to the next Think Tank!

What is the objective?

The goal of our Think Tank is to share experiences and learn from one another. The focus is on the challenges that companies face in their day-to-day operations. A wide range of issues are discussed openly — from operational difficulties and project execution and organization challenges to technical and subject-matter questions.
