Guest Speaker: Michael Bremer

Topic: Keep Your Gemba Walks Fresh & Meaningful – Engage Your People

The meeting will be delivered via Zoom.

Getting started with Gemba Walks isn’t hard, but maintaining their effectiveness, engagement, and impact is another story.

Too often, leaders fall into the trap of turning every walk into a “waste walk.” While identifying waste is valuable, that’s only a fraction of what’s possible. In this one-hour session, we’ll explore how to:

  • Keep your walks engaging—for you and your team
  • Make each walk a learning experience, not a routine
  • Use walks to actually drive performance improvement

We’ll also touch on virtual Gemba Walks—how they differ from a physical walk. And how outside executives can conduct site visits that elevate improvement maturity.

Join us to re-energize your Gemba Walks and deepen their impact.

Lean Forum Charitable Sector Virtual Group

About the visit

About 15 years ago we founded a networking group called the LEAN Forum® to encourage the sharing of ideas and inspiration on Continuous Improvement and Lean Thinking.
The LEAN Forum is a not-for-profit network that has grown to over 400 members located across the UK, Europe, and the USA.   A number of our members operate in the charity/third sector and have asked if we could consider creating a group that specifically engages and supports Charitable organisations in their Continuous Improvement and Lean Thinking journey.
This initial kick-off meeting will be on the 22nd November 2022 at 2-3pm GMT. 
At the initial meeting we will be looking to establish agreement on the networks purpose and vision, governance, format/content, and the frequency of the networking sessions.  To reiterate, the network would be free to attend, and run on a not-for-profit basis.
 
Based on the success of the LEAN Forum®, we believe this new network could make a very positive impact on your charity and support your teams develop their skills. 
 
If you believe this network would be of value to your organisation but feel others are better placed to attend, then please feel free to share this link.
