Getting lean with work roles
Pulling team members together whilst keeping them a part
Do you feel you are trapped in a cycle of growing expectations and reducing resources?
Many factors increase expectations at work and erode our effectiveness:-
- The continually changing nature of work
- The increasing emphasis on performance
- Growing complexity of work
In parallel to this individuals are increasingly demanding about job satisfaction. We need a new language to help us understand teams working practices, clarify expectations and see problems as opportunities.
Our Approach:
Our approach encourages people to be more discriminating about what work they complete, what they give up and what they ask others to do. It helps people understand:-
- What has been successful
- What wastes time
- Where systems and processes need developing
Once an understanding is created concerning different aspects of the work, a dialogue can occur concerning whom and how work is carried out. Without this we are confused as to why misunderstandings have occurred.
Getting Lean is designed to improve the management of work whilst at the same time allowing teams the scope to remove inefficiencies and improve processes. It is a world class approach to:
- Improving Working Processes
- Managing Team Effectiveness
- Building Work Satisfaction
