Kiss: Keep It Simple and Sustainable: Lean Leadership Methods That Build Sustainment

Description

Lean Enterprise has been a leading strategy to drive business improvement for
over twenty years. When the tools are thoroughly and consistently applied, the
results can exceed comprehension. Too often however, Lean efforts fail
outright or generate middling results, with improvements disappearing; buried
by changes in markets, strategy, or the loss of key personnel. The most common
reason for failure in Lean is an organizations culture, and while many of
those cultures possess behaviors that run counter to the Lean principles, it’s
more often an undercurrent created by non-Lean management behaviors that drive
change efforts adrift. KISS IS about Managing Lean! Its goal is to expose the
management behaviors that provide energy to that undercurrent, while
suggesting systemic approaches eliminate them, freeing up your culture. The
result will be sustained improvements and a steady evolution to a Lean
culture. KISS will help you to define your leadership role, walk you through a
strategy check, and draft your objectives. Next, it guides you through
organizing your change management team and resetting their key priorities.
Finally it shows how to use the Lean tools to initiate behavioral change,
supported by updated metrics and revised business systems. KISS clears your
path to sustaining transformational improvements. Read more
