The following link will connect you to Emily’s and Dane’s recorded presentation on OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE, ORGANIZATION-WIDE: http://www.indyasq.org/?attachment_id=4967

Also, here is a link to the Workshop TED video on “Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe”, by Simon Sinek: https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_why_good_leaders_make_you_feel_safe

Presentation title: OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE, ORGANIZATION-WIDE

Presentation Description: In this session we take a step back from the standard core competencies of a quality professional – the knowledge and understanding of statistical controls to manage processes, the ability to improve organizations through Lean, Six Sigma, the seven basic quality tools, corrective action, etc., and the knowledge of customer, end-user or regulatory needs and the ability to make sure those needs are met – we take a step back from all that and look at the organization as a whole. How do we empower a cohesive effort to execute the strategy? How do we get all functions of the business operating in concert? How do we impact systems-level thinking at every level? How do we galvanize the new behaviors that deliver expected results?

Our Speakers: Emily Bopp and Dane DeLozier are co-founders at Enable, a local company with a big vision: to be the operating model of choice among small to medium businesses. Dane was fortunate to study and apply early Lean thinking in the late 90’s, and over 20+ years’ of mission-specific assignments, refined principles of Lean, Six Sigma, agile and scrum into a reliably repeatable playbook for aligning an organization to achieve its targeted outcomes. Together, Dane and Emily teach what has become the Enable® management system, an accountability model impacting operational excellence, organization-wide.
