Just Like New Year's Resolutions Lean/Change Efforts Can Be Hard

We Are Looking For Companies That Have Had a Slow/Failed Attempt at Lean for a Study

Change efforts typically succeed 25-30% of the time the first time you try.  Here are the reasons why they fail:

• Not Strategic
• Attitude vs Behavior Focused
• Agreement vs Alignment Focused
• Procedures vs Outcomes Focused
• The Change is Experienced as Disruption
• Enforce Compliance Over Commitment

Typical results:

• A Few Try to Convince Many That Change is Needed
• Partial Responsibility/Ownership Mindset
• Change is Perceived as a Disruption of "Real Work"
• Pace of Change is too Slow
• Breakdown at Implementation

What's Missing:

• Attention to Stability-in-Change
• Creating Positive Emotional Attraction at the Outset Making Change internally Driven vs. Perception of Being Forced To Change
• Finding a Compelling Positive Future Image - Fosters Internal Drive vs. Perception of Being Forced to Change
• Emphasizing Co-learning vs. Participation for the Sake of Making People Feel They Have a Voice

If you are interested in learning more about a new program we have to facilitate everything that is missing please reply to this email or go to the Contact Page.

The services will be part of a study and the first three qualifing companies will have little  to no out of pocket expenses for services.
