sharpen your focus on key metrics that will create the results you need, and your customers expect.
Our friends at
MiPRO
are ready to help. Note the new date: September 11th.
The
Metric of Urgency Way or MoU (based on the principles of Lean Six Sigma) is a methodology designed to work within any process improvement framework and deliver Meaningful impact. MoU Way links business strategy to operational execution using a key metric called The Metric of Urgency.
Join Michael Gratz from MiPRO and learn how to select key metrics that deliver the
change that matters. Explore problem statements, leading and lagging metrics, and how your organization can create Meaningful Impact by staying focused on the vital few projects.
This workshop is hands-on using more than 15 exercises to learn how MoU and the MoU Way deliver results. Participants are invited to develop a Metric of Urgency Scorecard on a need facing their organization during the workshop. Did you miss our recent webinar on the Metric of Urgency? You can

When a WOW moment in customer service takes place, it doesn't happen only for the benefit of the customer - it occurs for the employee simultaneously. Inspiring your team to make that connection is the single, greatest tool for maintaining a culture of service excellence.

a special learning retreat
Friday, October 5: "Creating WOW World Class Service Moments: the Disney Way!"

Lean and continuous improvement methods and practices have been essential ingredients in the recipe for market competitiveness for tens of thousands of manufacturers and business service firms across the world.

The Summit will feature intensive presentations facilitated by experts on topics like Design Thinking, Standard Work, and Lean Business Transformation, as well as a showcase of successful lean continuous improvement initiatives from the public and private sector.
