Virtual Interactive Online Seminar: Deming Management Method for Owners and Executives
About
Leading With a Systems View – Now in a Series of Virtual Sessions!
As the world adjusts in response to shifting health and safety protocols, we’re adapting to continue to deliver our services while protecting participants like you. We’re excited to let you know that we’ve collaborated with Aileron to modify the format of Leading with a Systems View so we can continue this meaningful work virtually.
Aim
For attendees to understand and begin applying Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge to lead and manage their organizations.
Session Description
Dr. Deming said, “a bad system will beat a good person every time”. At this seminar you will learn to look at your organization through a new lens; a lens of how to make your system better – and thus get better results. You will gain new knowledge to remove barriers, increase efficiencies, reduce wasted time, boost motivation, and provide better insight into what’s really going on in your organization. And, you’ll discover how to measure what is (and is not) realistically possible for your organization to achieve.
This seminar explores simple and powerful principles and is appropriate for anyone who manages people or who holds executive responsibility. Topic areas include the four interdependent elements of The Deming System of Profound Knowledge® (a.k.a. The Deming Management Method):
- Understanding of and Appreciation for your Organization as a System – How to lead and optimize a system – not destroy it. Foster Respect and Joy in work.
- Understanding Variation – Conclusions we can/cannot make from data and observations. Actions to take.
- The Theory of Knowledge – Is what we “know” really so? Learning – Improvement – Rational Thinking.
- Understanding Psychology – The truth about how humans react and interact. Beliefs – Behaviors – Consequences.
We’ll host virtual workshops on Zoom video calls, and will provide workshop materials electronically. Just like our face-to-face workshops, these virtual sessions will be highly interactive; Zoom has many features that empower meaningful dialogue, dynamic communication, and one-on-one connectedness. Through enjoyable and engaging activities, small group breakouts, energetic work sessions, discussions and Q & A, you will gain insights into what is holding you back – and where you can improve effectiveness and cost management, increase productivity, and accelerate development, innovation, and teamwork. Please join us!
