Description
Most lean initiatives involve the use of complex tools to implement cost reductions. However, decision makers seldom focus on the people who must implement these tools and live with the consequences. By ignoring the dynamics of human involvement in change implementation, initiatives often are set up for failure. The presentation will addresses change management techniques, elements of successful change implementation, and effective involvement of stakeholders. Managers considering the implementation of a new lean program (or other change initiatives) as well as those struggling with implementing change in an organization should attend this session.
