KZN Lean Conference 2021 – Powered by Vodacom Business

3 – 5 November
BOOK NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT
LIMITED IN-PERSON SPACE AVAILABLE

Going Lean is about improving organizational performance – seeing problems and solving them the “right” way, and in so doing, continually increasing the thinking ability and/or intellectual capacity and skill of all employees. It’s not just about applying a set of tools to save costs, it is important to understand the empowering, purposeful culture that drives Lean. Lean is not about directing employees to act differently, it is about developing them and empowering them to think differently. Both tools and thinking are necessary if you are to succeed, and the rewards will be improvements in employee engagement, trust, innovation, customer satisfaction and enterprise value.

This year we bring you a blended conference with options to join:
• the whole conference (either remotely or in person);
• or the sessions that are most relevant to you (and/or your members of staff);
• at an extremely affordable price.

If you:
• Are just beginning your lean journey and desire to empower your team and harness the collective abilities of every member;
• Are wanting to orientate/ capacitate new or recently promoted employees; or
• are just in need of a refresher/ some inspiration

then book now to join:
• Session 1 Day 1: Becoming a Thinking Organisation Workshop to gain practical insights on fundamental Lean concepts and tools; and
• the Practical Workshop on Day 3, which will make it easy to run Lean initiatives using TLC’s Lean Toolkit Templates.
