OPTIMIZE MY PROCESS - A Process and Mindset Transformation

This introductory course integrates two of the most effective methods for optimizing processes: Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and the development of a Change Leader mindset.  

Our mindsets are shaped by both empowering and limiting beliefs that significantly influence our actions and inactions when leading change in the workplace.  We help uncover these beliefs and bridge the gap, empowering participants to becoming more effective and successful change leaders.

The map depicts a visual representation of the flow of work and information in a process from start to finish.  This enables businesses to identify inefficiencies, waste and opportunities for improvement by analyzing both value-added and non-value-added activities.  Optimizing the process enhances delivery to both internal and external customers, while reducing time and increasing efficiency.

Common improvements achieved through VSM focus on enhancing quality, optimizing delivery and reducing costs:

-reduced lead time (the total time it takes for a product/service to move through the entire process)

-reduced bottlenecks (smoother transition between process steps)

-elimination of activities/steps that add no value

-more effective communication and coordination between steps

-decreased defects

-reduced inventory

This dual approach equips participants with the strategic improvement tools while fostering personal growth, enabling them to lead process changes and operate within an improved process at the end of 8 weeks.
