Facilitate better thinking
Objective: Enhance team problem-solving skills using a structured A3 approach. Foster creativity and engagement in collaborative solutions.
Purpose: Engaging associates in problem solving is key to building a lean culture. In particular, A3 problem solving (e.g., Theme, Current State, Problem, Goals/Targets, Analysis, Countermeasures, Plan, and Follow-up) is a powerful concept for lean practitioners. This workshop teaches participants how to use A3 problem solving while simultaneously using Liberating Structures to engage teams or larger groups.
Approach: This intensive 7.5-hour workshop offers a blend of theory and hands-on practice. Participants will:
- Learn the fundamentals of problem-solving
- Develop strategies for engaging all associates in their operations
- Receive expert guidance to create actionable implementation plans
