Principles and Behaviors of Operational Excellence - Wednesday, May 1, 2019 (7:30am - 3:30pm)

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 in the evolution of culture. Few organizations build on what they have previously learned – that tools alone are not enough, that people need to understand the “WHY” behind the “HOW,” or the “principle-based architecture” behind a lean transformation.  

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. During this one-day program, participants will learn from other healthcare organizations that are making this transition. 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.
• Recognize principles needed within organizational systems.

3P Design - Thursday, May 2, 2019 (7:30am - 3:30pm)

Have you ever wondered what a 3P is and if/when/how you should use it? Rooted in lean methodology, the healthcare design industry has used the 3P as a tool to incorporate process improvement and user engagement into the design (or re-design) of the physical environment. 

The 3Ps - Production, Preparation, and Process - represent the need to prepare for change by understanding how it will influence your processes and ultimately, your space needs. As an event, the 3P is an intense, collaborative workshop that empowers team members to make more informed decisions early on and build the foundation for a culture of continuous improvement. Through this workshop, we will simulate the 3P engagement process, highlighting the integration of lean process improvement into the planning and design process, and ultimately reflecting a more collaborative, flexible, and efficient product and team dynamic. 

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

• Recognize what a 3P is and what it is not
• Determine ideal and “not ideal” circumstances to employ a 3P
• Identify key ingredients of a successful 3P including appropriate goals, objectives, and measures of success
• Leverage your 3P as an opportunity to help create a culture of continuous improvement
