Welcome to episode 84 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. I am so pleased to welcome back Mr Chris Butterworth, one of our world's leaders in creating a sustainable continuous improvement culture. Today we talk about Chris’s new book in partnership with Peter Hines and Morgan Jones called Why Bother, Why and how to assess your continuous improvement culture. 

09:36min So when we want to make that change, what do we sit down to say, Okay, well, what are the ideal behaviours that we want as a consequence? In fact, even before that, do we say, what's the purpose we're trying to achieve here with this change? And what's the purpose of this system? When we're clear on the purpose of the improvement or the system, we can then say, well, what are the ideal behaviours that we are looking for that will deliver that purpose? And when we clear our knowledge, then we can make sure we design the system that supports them. Now, will we get it right all the time? Probably not 100% right. Again, that's why we need to assess ourselves. Okay, well, we thought that that would drive X behaviour. It hasn't. Why not? Or it's not quite what we were looking for. Why not? What do we need to adjust in the system to get the behaviours closer to ideal? That's what we're assessing.

34:37min I always call that 5S training. And so that's crucial that employees at all levels of an organisation must receive adequate training in 5S for the system to be effective, including upper management, supervisory, maintenance staff, employees on the floor. In 5S, everyone is responsible for doing their part to maintain the system and be secure in the workplace where people understand the thinking behind 5S, not just the steps and tasks they must perform. So, 5S training should explain the pillars of 5S in the application in the workplace and how does the 5S fit in the company goals. And again, it's very important for each role, and each person will play a role in maintaining an effective 5S work. Really simple work. Everyone gets involved, from the director to the shop floor people.

Welcome to Episode 82 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Mr Simon Elias on the show with us today. Simon's mission is to understand how Lean thinking and associated schools of thought can be applied by people in organisations to improve individual and collective performance and achievement of purpose. Simon is the director of the Lean Competency Services LCS, an organisation that operates Cardiff University's lean competency system. Today, we'll explore how to develop people in Lean and associated methodologies to achieve individual and collective improvement and achievement of purpose.  

We are proudly sponsored by S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.

I think, based on what I said, focusing on the people dimension is a critical, critical thing.  You've got to find ways of encouraging, incentivising people, you know, to want to do this, tapping into this intrinsic motivation.  And there are lots of things available to do that, I think.  I think getting people to understand process thinking scientific thinking that's the basis that everything is based on: process and thinking.  

You know, as Deming said, If you don't see what you do as a process, you don't know what you're doing, you know, and that's the big barrier.  A lot of people don't think process is for them.  It's for the people in the call centre on the factory floor.  But for the management, you've got to adopt processes of thinking.  And you know, it's about scientific thinking, becoming a learning organisation as well, you know, one that facilitates the learning of its members and then continually transforms itself. 

For me, this is the basis of which it all starts and sustains.  Yes, you've got to have the right capabilities and the skills and customer focus and value.  But it's that people dimension, process thinking, scientific thinking, and becoming that learning organisation.  For me, concentrate on that first, because that will be the basis on which everything will be successful, I think.

Welcome to Episode 76 of the enterprise excellence podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Mr Avi Schneier on the show with us today. Avi is a leader in all things Agile and Scrum. Avi joined us last week in Episode 75, where he spoke about the link between agile and lean and told many great stories about making Scrum work. If you haven't already, I encourage you to listen to Episode 75 to get the background for this chat. Today we chat about value stream mapping and organisational structure around creating your suite of offerings for customers.

That's a good question. I'll give them two. Tip one. Get professional help, man. When people say to me, oh, you know, we don't need coaches and stuff or consultants. Listen, go take a look at any sports team. Brad, what's your favourite sports team?

Brad

The Queensland rugby league team.

Avi

Great. Okay. Is there a coach on the team? 

Brad

Yeah, yep. Multiple, multiple.

Avi

Multiple? How many coaches do they have?

Brad

There have 4-5 key coaches on different techniques, but they also bring back ex-players as coaches. They call them FOGS, former origin greats. 

Avi

So there's great. Let's just pretend there are five coaches. Okay, how many players are on the team?

Brad

16. 18 in total with subs. 

Avi

So you have 18 people and five coaches. That's a coach for every three people. It's crazy. Yeah. But that's the real deal of professional sports. So these are people who are paid. They call themselves professionals. They are paid exorbitant amounts of money to play a child's game for a certain portion of the year. And yet they have five coaches on that team. Think about that for a second. Now you want to take a multi-billion dollar business with 10s of 1000s of employees, and you want to read a 13-page guide and watch a 20-minute video on YouTube. And you think you know how to do this. Get the hell outta here. Do yourselves a favour get professional help. And that's tip number one.
