Join us for this month’s fun and educational Lunch and Learn session.

Improvement's Two Prime Directives

1) Learn a key to making your organization better

2) Select measures that enlighten rather than blind

Get your ‘exercise’ with two fun learning activities. 

First, you will experience and apply one of the fundamental principles in making improvement happen. Patterns of work quickly and easily become habits that are challenging to alter. Together we will explore what it takes to innovate and create breakthrough levels of improvement.

Second, you will help to demonstrate why our choices of what we measure can support or hinder improvement. Many of our current management practices misdirect our attention. Those practices shift our focus toward measuring elements of our work and systems that cannot produce the progress we seek. Our session will help us gain a more useful and productive perspective.

Enjoy lunch, meet new people, visit with old friends and share your ideas.

Then, if you wish, apply what you learned in the afternoon, perhaps even lead your own exercise session back at work. When you attend, you will be provided with the materials and slides to be able to conduct your own learning exercises.
