Does this sound familiar? You find ourselves faced with a powerful opportunity for change—and decide you’d better take it in small doses. Better not get overwhelmed, you think. Better not lose control. So you enter that powerful opportunity, piecemeal.
What does the world of work hold in common—no matter the setting? This week at The Visual Workplace, your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, shares the answer.
What if your 5S was a creative process that engages, enlivens, educates, and elevates? What if your 5S could let the workplace speak? Let’s face it: 5S has a problem, a BIG problem. And it lies at the very foundation of the 5S approach.
What’s hard about a 5S audit? Not much—except most companies can’t get them started. Or if started, can’t make them stick. And did we mention the push back and/or the indifference? But it doesn’t have to be that way.
When 5S came to our shores from Japan in the early 1980s, its purpose and process seemed simple, straightforward, and useful. Easy-peasy. But implementing 5S turned into an entirely different story.
Is yours one of the many companies that has given up on 5S? You tried it once—in great earnestness: Sort, Set in Order, Simplify, Standardize, Sustain (or some other set of “S” words that were supposed to work).
Have you committed to a new operational vision? If so, a lot is about to change—including the role of your supervisors. There are so many ways your supervisors can contribute.
