A value stream map is a standardized model used to layout the stream of value-adding activities in a process while overlaying material flow, information flow, and non-value-adding waste information to provide a qualitative picture of the actual process in a facility. This tool also maps the information flow from the customer, through the enterprise to suppliers and back to customers. It provides a common language for discussing any process. It provides a means to tie together lean concepts and techniques and a method to develop a working blueprint for implementing lean concepts on the shop floor. It is an excellent method for describing what is actually taking place now on the shop floor and what a company wants it to look like in the future state. It takes an enterprise systematically from its current state of operations to a dramatically improved future state – a Lean Enterprise.

According to a compilation of several studies by Moya Mason, an estimated 100 Million companies are started each year worldwide (11.000 each hour).About that same amount also fail each year. One of the major causes of failure or stagnation in business is growth. There are myriad reasons for this such as poor hiring, financial mismanagement, poor strategy, growing too fast that all can be traced back to mismanaged growth. It is easy to fall into this trap over time which is why most businesses fail in less than a decade.
There is a proven way to avoid this trap.
Companies that endure, that last decades, generations and centuries typically make a handful of decisions right. For instance, when Alan Mulally helped to turn around Ford in the middle of the worst financial crisis of our lifetime, he focused on these four things:
Aggressively restructure to operate profitably at the current demand and changing model mix. (EXECUTION)
Accelerate development of new products our customers want and value. (STRATEGY)
Finance our plan and improve our balance sheet. (CASH)
Work together effectively as one team. (PEOPLE)
In this highly interactive, simple, practical and actionable session, Bill will share how any company can build a healthy and thriving culture and business by developing a systematic Leadership Operating System focusing on four key decisions (People, Strategy, Execution and Cash).
Over three hours, we will cover the following:
How growth can become a silent killer of business
How to build a systematic decision framework for your business like Alan MulallyPractice, Practice, Practice -
Bill will lead us through at least 2 simple, practical and actionable exercises
The audience will come away with a real sense of why and how growth if managed improperly can stealthily stall and/or kill their businesses. They will also be led through practical exercises that they can act upon as soon as they get back to the office.
