Strengthen Performance Through Value Stream Improvement
Value Stream improvement is essential to any organization looking to enhance operational efficiency, reduce waste, and drive cross-functional alignment —but many fall short when it comes to sustaining focus and achieving measurable results.
This interactive one-day workshop equips business and operations leaders with the tools and methods to turn value stream thinking into actionable results in both manufacturing and service-based environments.
Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to use Value Stream Maps to align people and teams, streamline processes, and prioritize improvements that deliver measurable impact for both the customer and the business.
What You’ll Learn:
- Recognize common pitfalls that undermine value stream efforts in both manufacturing and transactional environments
- Analyze current-state conditions to uncover barriers to flow and performance
- Design future-state systems that reflect lean principles and organizational goals
- Facilitate collaboration across functions to build shared understanding and accountability
- Establish meaningful measures of value that support decision-making and progress tracking
- Develop an approach to managing value streams that drives sustained improvement
Who Should Attend
This workshop is for leaders, managers, and improvement professionals who want to move beyond isolated improvements and create alignment, clarity, and momentum across their organization.
