On-site Implementation Workshop: Everyday Lean Using the Power of Employee Driven Innovation

 

This is an extremely powerful system that taps into employee’s latent talents and creativity. Everyday people on the frontlines see problems and opportunities that management are completely unaware of.  Oftentimes however employees do not have an outlet or mechanism to surface their ideas and the results are that daily annoyance factors and waste go unchecked or worked around and indeed escalate. Empowering employees to surface and coordinate the implementation of these ideas results in real time learning and enhanced employee engagement. This win-win approach also delivers real bottom line cost savings to the organisation with commonly reported benefits in the region €2500 per employee per year.

 

   

 

Accelerated Idea Generation and Implementation PIT-Stop Workshop

The Power of Frontline Employee Driven Innovation

 

If we look back at the history of employee engagement, there is a common thread running through almost all organisations. 70% of employees do not actively contribute their ideas to established continuous improvement systems.

For this reason we developed an employee interview-based methodology to engage all employees. That is to say, doing it 180 degrees differently. PiT-Stop, as we call our process, stands for problem finding, structuring and solving in teams.

 

We train and certify your local facilitators to conduct 20-minute face-to-face interviews directly at the workplace. On average 3 problems/ideas are generated within this timeframe from every person. Up to 100 employees can be interviewed using 5-10 2-person interview teams. The problems and ideas are clustered and structured and then 20% are immediately addressed in parallel conducted one-hour problem solving sessions. All within a week!

It is an inclusive bottom-up approach that involves everyone. The guaranteed cost savings from this workshop are in the range of 100 - 200K in local currency per interview day. In addition what we promise based on our experience are the so-called “soft facts”: employee engagement, motivation, recognition, team competency, coaching, and facilitator training. As well you receive a database of viable ideas and a controlling instrument for follow-up and implementation efforts.
