AME Webinar: Building the Fit Organization

Presented by: Dan Markovitz

The corporate landscape is littered with companies that have failed in their pursuit of the Toyota Way. Their efforts fail precisely because they’re trying to copy Toyota. What leaders need to do instead is learn from Toyota—learn how to convert their competent organizations into dynamic, constantly improving, profoundly customer-focused entities. A “fit” organization has the ability to continually improve in a manner that delivers superior performance and results over the long haul. This webinar will review three core concepts, based on the new book, Building the Fit Organization, which distills the lessons from the Toyota Production System into six core concepts. This new way does not use Japanese terms, English jargon, or any off-putting references to Toyota. Attendees will be able to think of continuous improvement in new ways with the examples presented.

Topics:

Commit to improvement
Think horizontally, not vertically
Visual management and real time feedback
