The LEGO Game: Reducing Waste & Increasing Productivity -- April 18 IN-PERSON Pre-Conference Workshop

The Performance Excellence Network -- in partnership with the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence and the Iowa Quality Center — is pleased to announce a powerful workshop: The LEGO Game: Reducing Waste & Increasing Productivity.  The workshop will be hosted April 18 IN PERSON from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM CT and will be facilitated by Edwin Boon of The Lean Six Sigma Company.  The workshop is one of four pre-conference workshops for the igniteEX 2024 conference, held later April 18 and all day April 19.  More information on the conference is here.  You may attend the workshop without attending the conference, but there is a discount for attending both!

It will be a unique, fun, and powerful experience, focused on the principles of continuous improvement and the tools of Lean Six Sigma, but delivered in part through a LEGO simulation.

The Lean Six Sigma methodology has been used to streamline processes to provide services or products to customers, patients, citizens, or stakeholders faster and with fewer errors. Often, the projects take place within the organization, where several people work together (for example, a billing process, licensing process, logistics-, or production processes). The people who run the projects are called Green Belts and Black Belts, but they are dependent on the input and cooperation of their team members to succeed.  This workshop explores the process and tools needed to improve process performance and results.

What will I be able to do after this course?  Here are the learning objectives:

* Understanding the Lean Six Sigma philosophy and translating it to their own working environment

* Optimizing and improving processes using the DMAIC structure (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control are the 5 phases of Lean Six Sigma)

* Identifying customer requirements

* Recognizing improvement potential and selecting projects; better analyze problems, discover root causes and optimal solutions

The workshop explores ways to reduce operational costs, improve quality, decrease lead-times and increase customer satisfaction, equipping you with a toolset that will help you drive value in your organization.  The workshop is ISO-certified and includes simulations, interactive exercises, videos, and much more!

The session will be hosted at Mystic Lake Conference Center, Prior Lake, MN on April 18 from 1:00-4:00.

Investment is $250 for members ($500 for non-members).  Discounts available for those also attending the igniteEX 2024 conference ($200). No group discounts available for this workshop, as space is limited and it WILL sell out!

Don't miss this powerful opportunity to learn how to improve your own personal productivity, as well as create a culture for your team to do the same!
