You are invited to join members of the Executive Connection for our next speaker session, led by Chris Butterworth on Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement.

The Topic - Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement

Chris  has recently co-authored a highly successful book about how simple habits can embed a culture of continuous improvement. In this workshop he draws from his two prize-winning books, Four plus 1 habits and the Essence of Excellence.

In a very interactive session he covers the five habits

• Why visual management boards are so critical, to go with,

• Team huddles - everywhere!

• Use of “standard operating procedures” which drives

• continuous improvement.

• Underpinning this are the “Gemba” (Literally translated as “where the work is done”) walks performed by the leader

Chris shows when these habits are Joined-Up, they combine to change the culture of an organization through practicing and constantly reinforcing ideal behaviors.

This workshop will explain how the habits link together and will demonstrate:

• how to create visual management boards

• how to run huddles around these boards to get team engagement

• the key elements of Gemba walks for sustainability
