Are your improvement efforts yielding short-term gains? Has your journey been all about the tools? In this learning session, participants will explore two architectural methods for improvement: 1. Tool-based architecture, and 2. Principle-based architecture. Both are necessary for the evolution of an improvement culture.

You will discover the key concepts behind The Shingo Model ^TM, which has guided lean transformations in many industries for more than 25 years and is now being applied in healthcare. Learn practical method and a framework to accelerate to world-class organization performance and operational excellence through the appropriate application of lean principles, systems, and tools. You will also understand why lean transformations are about more than the application of tools – they are about transforming the culture.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Describe the benefit of focusing on principle-driven behavior.
• Identify and create key behavior indicators (KBI).
• Discuss the evolution and integration of tools, systems, and principles.
• Create a roadmap of next steps.
