course objectives
In today's "Global Market", featuring vanishing borders and global competition, all industrial concerns should aim at new, higher Performance targets, in line with the "best of the class".
As the ultimate secret to obtain high performance is "people", new ways of managing people and of organising and supervising them, as well as new ways of obtaining high levels of efficiency and effectiveness (performance) from people should be looked at. Most organisations want their employees to be involved, but employee engagement can range from a simple suggestion system to self-directed work teams. The essential problem is how to structure the involvement process.
Total Employee Involvement is the core discipline of the Lean Thinking philosophy.
This course is designed to illustrate in detail the TEI discipline and its deployment in all Industries, and give a solid overview of its most up-to-date developments (TEP - Total Employee Performance).
A comprehensive approach to Lean HR Management will be illustrated in detail, and supported with numerous case studies.
This two-day course gives you the opportunity to find out what are the latest trends in employee management and directly relate it back to your strategies. It will be a highly interactive event designed to be interesting and to offer great learning experience.
In this course you will learn to:
Explore the key requirements for successful employee performance
Understand the implementation requirements and strategies for getting started
Learn how to develop a meaningful employee involvement process in your own organisation
Discover the organisational structures that support an effective employee involvement process
Discover what braking forces are hindering the present efforts to obtain higher levels of performance
Understand the lean path and ways to instil the lean philosophy into people
Implement strategies to increase productivity, quality and performance from personnel while assuring their job satisfaction
See how differently some world-class enterprises are structured and what benefits they ripe
Touch the benefits associated with "simple is beautiful" and "small is beautiful"
Understand the inadequacies of the First Industrial Revolution principles and grasp those of the Second one
target audience

Dear Delegate(s),
Research by Gallup has uncovered that less than 30% of employees are truly engaged in their jobs. Lean Thinkers have long shown that an additional 25-40% of the work done by most organisations is waste or non-value added. This means that at least 40% of every payroll dollar is lost. Is this an acceptable level of performance?
This course will be a shocking course for many of you. Because it demystifies all traditional principles of the first industrial revolution on which the majority of enterprises, still today, are built or around which they operate. By presenting in rather great detail the philosophy of the second industrial revolution and its impact on people management, this course is a door-opener to lean HR practices for whoever is: ready to listen to the message - prepared to abandon obsolete principles, formulas and approaches - willing to have really performing people.
You see, there are enterprises in which "employment" as such does no longer exist. They are not many, but their achievements are astonishing: their people think, act and perform like businessmen, not employees - their people operate in strict contact with customers and target at maximising clients' satisfaction - their people are driven to self-guidance, controlling a value/profit-generating "area of purpose" - their people are a real "wealth pump". Can this concept be replicated in all types of Organisations? This course wants to prove that yes, it can.
I hope to see you there, best regards
Dr Carlo
