Talking Lean E-News:
The Importance of Leadership Support |

Leader involvement is good for another reason.

Update: Lean Executive Day at Algonquin College |
|
On February 7th, the filled to capacity event was attended by executives, across many industries, that spent a day discussing with their peers and our leadership team their experiences and challenges with their own lean implementations.
Workshops covered various topics such as resolving conflicting organizational pressures, handling change, managing priorities and achieving support at all levels.
Participants received tremendous value from attending and the feedback from those who participated was that having the opportunity to brainstorm, gain ideas, insights and strategies to navigate individual situations made this event a success.
A Lean Executive Day focused on the Public Service sector will be taking place this spring.
