BPI Skills Development - LS01- Fundamentals of Lean Systems Thinking; Overview Workshop (Grant Thornton)

Lean Systems Thinking is a way of designing and managing work by managing the organisation as a process rather than a top down hierarchy.

This FREE one day overview workshop, delivered by Grant Thornton is designed to be as interactive and practical as possible in the time available. An expert practitioner, experienced in the application of Lean Systems Thinking in a Local Authority environment, will deliver the workshop which will introduce delegates to some of the key concepts on Lean Systems Thinking and encourage delegates to think about their own approach and experience.

What is it?
Lean systems thinking is a new way of designing and managing work by managing the organisation as a process rather than a top-down hierarchy.  It gives you more control, lower costs and better service by putting the customer first and in line with customer demand. The results are higher customer and stakeholder satisfaction, less waste, more capacity, lower costs and more scope for growth.

Who should attend?
Anyone involved with or thinking about doing, leading or sponsoring process improvements or service re-design around customer needs, improving efficiency, effectiveness and accessibility.
