Shingo Journey to Excellence

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Introduction to the Shingo Model - We will begin our workshop with a review of the Shingo Model, focusing on how leaders can use the 3 Insights of Enterprise Excellence and well articulated ideal behaviors to inspire and align the organization on its journey to excellence.  We will also spend time reviewing each of the Shingo Dimensions, helping you understand the role each dimension plays in achieving business excellence.

4-Phases of the Shingo Journey - Next, we will discuss our proprietary approach to using the Shingo Model to help our clients transform their culture and generate sustainable business results.  This 4-Phase process provides a structure to your implementation from the start of your journey to successfully challenging and receiving Shingo recognition.

Shaping Behavior with Systems - After exploring the Shingo model and reviewing the phases of a successful journey, we turn our attention to the design, build and improvement of systems.  Our approach to systems design has been used by more than 500 organizations in 14 countries.

Introduction to Self-Assessment - Finally, we will end our workshop with an introduction to the Shingo assessment process.  Leveraging our 20+ years experience and more than 40 Shingo recipients, we will teach you what Shingo looks for in world-class cultures, which questions to ask, and how to develop your own internal assessment team.
