The Shingo name has over 100 years’ experience with Toyota; most recently Ritsuo Shingo, who has recently retired from Toyota.  You could say this is the old guard.  Toyota has most recently taken a liking to Scrum, and the Scrum Coach for Toyota at ground zero is Nigel Thurlow…the new guard.

 

Our featured speaker, Ritsuo Shingo is president of the Institute of Management Improvement and senior advisor to the Lean Leadership Institute.  Ritsuo incorporates many of his father’s teachings (Dr. Shigeo Shingo), into his own, and following in his father’s footsteps, has had a very successful career with Toyota. 

 

Nigel Thurlow has over 25 years of experience in Lean implementation and process improvement, has trained Toyota in Scrum, and will lead the Scrum Master training at the summit.  All attendees will leave this event as a certified Scrum Master, learn the Toyota Way to A3 problem solving, Agile thinking, and Financial Overall Equipment Effectiveness.

 

Our experts will teach you how to apply effective tools of coaching, decision making, project management, and communication, ultimately improving the quality and effectiveness of your leadership.

Steven Bonacorsi's insight:
The Ultimate Guide to Business Transformation Failure and How to Avoid It

Change is an essential part of business. Competitors, customers, industries and technology are rapidly evolving in markets meaning companies must continually reinvent themselves to retain market share and grow. This is something that will never go away. http://tiny.cc/cbuxcy

The trouble is that companies – especially large ones – are often poorly equipped to deal with change. Today’s requirement for transformation and the speed at which it is required is particularly difficult.

So there are plenty of examples of ‘what not to do’. But why would you want an ultimate guide to failure, anyway? http://tiny.cc/cbuxcy
Shouldn’t we be focusing on success instead?

“Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker.” - Denis Waitley, author The Psychology of Winning

It’s in studying failure that we learn what to avoid. Amazingly, many organisations continue to make the same mistakes over and over again when they’re well known to lead to undesirable outcomes.

Download the guide http://tiny.cc/cbuxcy to discover what will cause your organisation's business transformation to become a statistic, and what you can do about it before you even press ‘go’.

Enjoy the free guide
