  • Has your organization or quality management team gone through the effort of adopting the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) strategy for making improvements to various processes?
  • Do you think the process has been effective?
  • Have you personally experienced or observed others changing their practices due to findings of the PDCA program in place?
  • Are people really learning anything new, applying lessons learned during retrospectives on their next endeavour?

In this session  Karen Chovan will dive into what it really takes for an organization, or even a department within, to make true gains from the PDCA process.

Leading organizations, or those referred to as “High-Velocity” in the book The High-Velocity Edge: How Market Leaders Leverage Operational Excellence to Beat the Competition  have been found to demonstrate key characteristics and capabilities, all of which revolve around the philosophy behind PDCA.

However, as you’ll see, their practices are much more holistic than just utilizing a set of tools and analysis methods to monitor performance and correct issues, as has been applied in most situations.

These lessons will be shared with the primary objective of showing their significance in how programs and projects can clearly gain from a culture shift and full adoption of such strategies, with some highlights to relevant Lean-based tools that can be utilized to engage personnel, and facilitate some of the changes required.

Skilled professionals turn to today’s growing list of employment websites in search for job opportunities, but what makes a job posting stand out among the crowd?

Going up against millions of job postings means they must bring their A-game…and maybe a good pair of scissors, too. Figuring out how to bypass regulation and formal rules might be the most challenging part of creating an eye-catching post that job seekers can’t resist!

If companies want to attract the best, they have to post the best.

Join Michelle Amici (LinkedIn profile) and learn how to elevate your job postings, and how to break from tradition along the way.
