Overview

Is your company innovative, agile and positioned for growth in a fiercely complex, global economy? Are the improvements in your operational excellence program aligned to clearly deliver meaningful, measurable value? Do they advance the company’s strategic vision? If you are tempted to answer “no” to any of these questions, you are not alone.

This 1.5 day executive roundtable is designed for executives who wish to experience first-hand how manufacturers are leveraging lean as a strategic weapon for growth.

The Challenge: Out-Performing the Competition

Recent studies reveal that CEOs identify three key success drivers: operational excellence, extending business to new customers and markets, and creating business models capable of delivering growth. Similar research also indicates that executives are concerned about obstacles such as risk-averse cultures, lengthy product development times and inadequate measurement systems.

While more than 70 percent of manufacturers have implemented a continuous improvement (CI) program, over 40 percent of executives say their CI initiatives are failing to achieve operational and strategic objectives. By ensuring their CI programs are meticulously and rapidly executed, TBM has helped companies realize sustainable top-line growth and higher profitability.

Who Should Attend

  • Executive team members and senior leadership from operations and continuous improvement
  • Organizations who have implemented continuous improvement programs yet question the alignment of value creation resulting from its efforts
  • Executives of organizations preparing to launch a continuous improvement program who want to understand the management process and systems required to succeed

This roundtable can help you:

  • Understand how to effectively marry continuous improvement initiatives to the strategic vision
  • Benchmark your operational excellence program to best in class results
  • See how operational excellence at a TBM Client Company has created a responsive and flexible culture capable of driving significant value creation
  • Discuss experiences and strategies with other lean-focused executives in a small-group setting
