Steve is your builder. He integrates 'scattered' improvement efforts into a common system, enabling every staff member to improve every important measure, every day! Steve helped build Lean services at large org's and consulting groups (e.g., Optiprise, Jeff Liker's lean firm), growing revenue at one org to a $25MM backlog before its spin-off. Steve is a thought-leader nationally. He uses a simple, 3-pronged strategy:
1. Training the Minds - Learning to Transform & Think Lean:
Steve uses his arsenal of slides and modules to quickly develop tailored courses. These courses employ one or more of his 30+ hands-on simulations, involve the participants' own projects during training, and get them out of their chairs more than half the time. Transformational rapid cycle projects and Idea Huddles are required immediately after to hard-wire what was learned.
2. Deploying Strategy and Performance Services, starting with the C-level:
While at Johnson Controls, Steve received Hoshin Kanri coaching from Toyota and Nissan. He helped adapt these principles to multiple industries with wide buy-in. He will help you link and align all goals, projects, CI efforts, performance boards and staff to achieve breakthrough results! He will show you how Hoshin aligns goals and efforts for all associates from the CEO all the way UP to front-line staff.
3. Daily Management Systems-building (DMS):
Steve helps organizations unleash the Power of ideas - thousands weekly - by building DMS and daily Idea Huddles. His previous org implemented over 75,000 Ideas in FY18 alone! Pick up a copy of The Power of Ideas to see how you can engage 100% of your staff as well.
