In this class, we'll show you why it's important to really understand why problems happen, why guessing can be risky, and how to pinpoint the things that will make a big difference when you're trying to improve your work.

Explain what 'value' means and understand it from the perspective of whoever is receiving your service or product
Recognize the 8 types of unnecessary activities or 'waste' and get good at noticing them when they happen
Realize why it's important to go right to where the problem happens and ask open questions to get more information

Learn how Organizational Excellence can support you and your team
