Описание: This is self-study guide for facilitators of rapid process improvement workshops helps those who feel they are not truly gaining the full results of improvement initiatives and kaizen events. They know they can do better, but don`t know how.

Using real-world examples, the book shows how to get the benefits of group buy-in and ownership. .
Whatever kind of change facilitator you are, be it business or NGO leader, internal or external organizational development consultant, coach, or educator, you already know the importance of inspiring change around critical organizational challenges. But you may be tired of investing energy, time and money into change initiatives that are difficult, if not impossible to implement due to a lack of organizational focus and alignment.
There are many books that explain the "whys and how's" of creating and formulating a vision statement. What's missing, however, is a deeper understanding of the real possibilities and broader impacts of visionary thinking as an approach to proactively addressing change. This book will fundamentally reframe the possibilities for how visionary thinking and the creation of shared visions can positively impact an organizations' ability to facilitate many kinds of change. This book is about accessing the collective intelligence of a team to identify challenges and discover new opportunities critical to the future of your organization. It shows you how to access both your team's and your own innate creative capacity to envision solutions to these challenges - solutions clear and motivating enough to provide a framework for making decisions today.
This practical step-by-step guide will arm you with tools and strategies for facilitating change through engaging your teams and stakeholders in creating, communicating and implementing shared vision, whether the changes are large, medium or small. The book begins with an overview of key terms, like vision, shared vision, visionary thinking and the difference between goal setting and creating shared vision. In Chapter Two we focus on helping you find opportunities to use visionary thinking in your organization and we share actual examples that illustrate the many kinds of challenges that have been well served by this approach.
Chapter Three identifies the steps needed to lay the groundwork for the shared visioning process and, in Chapter Four, we guide you through the all-important process of writing a script for fast-forwarding your team into a desired future state. We explain the types of questions that can free teams' imagination and stimulate relevant images of new possibilities and give examples of how to bring the desired future state to life. From there, in Chapter Five, we explore how to facilitate the team from their individual visions into one shared vision. Chapter Six focuses on making the vision real by using creative thinking to ensure that the vision is successfully adopted and implemented. Our final chapter discusses the longer-term impacts of facilitating change through shared vision.
As thought leader Juanita Brown, Ph.D., Co-Founder, the World CafE has written: "The authors, Marjorie Parker and Anna Pool, are true pioneers in fostering creative processes for visioning. This practical guide provides leaders at all levels with tools and perspectives that can help a team, a department or an entire organization to shape tomorrow, together. Creating Futures that Matter Today- Facilitating Change through Shared Vision fills an important need in leadership literature that emphasizes the importance of vision, but often provides few practical roadmaps. This book helps to fill that gap.

Описание: A study of how ISO 9001 and CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) can be used together to improve process quality. It shows how organizations can streamline their quality process improvement programmes by capitalizing on the similarities the models share and minimizing their differences.
Описание: This comprehensive book presents a methodology for continuous process improvement in a structured, logical, and easily understandable framework based on industry accepted tools, techniques, and practices. It begins by explaining the conditions necessary for establishing a stable and capable process and the actions required to maintain process control, while setting the stage for sustainable efficiency improvements driven by waste elimination and process flow enhancement. This structured approach makes a clear connection between the need for a quality process to serve as the foundation for incremental efficiency improvements. This book moves beyond talking about the value contribution of tools and techniques for process control and continuous improvement by focusing on the daily work routines necessary to maintain and sustain these activities as part of a lean process and management mindset. Part 1 discusses process quality improvement with an understanding of variation and its impact on process performance. It continues by stressing the importance of standardizing a process to achieve process stability. Once process stability is reflected in a consistent and predictable output, attention is turned to ensuring the process is capable of consistently meeting customer requirements. This series of activities sets the foundation for process control and the sustainable pursuit of efficiency improvements. Part 2 focuses on efficiency improvement by eliminating waste while improving process flow using proven tools and methods. Although there is a clear relationship between waste elimination and process flow, these activities are discussed separately to allow those more interested in waste elimination to work independently from those looking to optimize value stream flow. Part 3 explores the principles, practices, systems, and behaviors required to maintain process control while creating a mindset of continuous incremental improvement. It considers the role organizational structure, discipline, and accountability play as essential components for long term operational success. This book will: Provide readers with a clear roadmap for establishing, achieving, and maintaining process control as the foundation upon which to pursue efficiency improvements. Establish direction and methods for continuous and sustainable process improvement Define the practices, systems, and behaviors required to realize desired results and develop a culture of process control and continuous improvement along the road to operational excellence.
