Summit Highlights

 Join us for our 13th annual gathering of thinkers and practitioners from around the “local” lean community as we explore how to integrate scientific thinking into your organization.  In this Summit we will bring together experts and practitioners to discover:

  1. What does it mean to "think scientifically"?

  2. What are the strategic advantages to a scientific approach?

  3. How do you get managers to coach scientific thinking?

  4. How do you get ALL your employees to practice scientific problem solving in their daily work?

 

Scientific thinking and process improvement is at the sweet spot for people like us that want people, business, and technology to play well together.  Please forward this message to anyone you think would benefit from collaboration with other professionals on integrating scientific thinking and plain good leadership into their organizations.

If you have never been to a Central Coast Lean Summit before, prepare to be pleasantly surprised.  Rather than a smorgasbord of tracks and rooms, where everyone hears something different and integration of ideas are left to chance, we allow everyone to hear and question two great subject matter experts Dr. Sylvain Landry and Katie Anderson.  We then have you breakout with your functional or industry peers to talk about what you just learned, clarify your thinking, and put together a plan for action when you return to work. This allows you to get the most out of your learning/reflection day.  If you need more targeted help, we provide our "Lean Coaching Cafe" with Tracy O’Rourke as our Lead Coach.  Or stay for day two for a master class on lean leadership with author and thought leader Katie Anderson.
