6 Customers? Yes! 6

7 Customer Value?

8 Value Stream Mapping Data & People Process Data & People Waste Data & People Ideas 8

9 Common Types of Waste Traditional Knowledge Work T ransport Hand-offs I nventory In-boxes M otion Uncoordinated field work routes W aiting Delays of any kind O ver-production Too many copies of documents O ver-control Too many manager reviews D efects Errors in documents + CYA / Blame + Failure to engage staff creativity 9

10 Where can we start? Functions / Divisions (Org Chart) Projects Cases Plans/Rules Processes Stuff we do 10

11 Meeting Ground Rules 1. Be on time, and be on task. 2. Ask "what", "why", "how" and even "when" but never "who". 3. Remember that CYA, blame, and defensiveness are some of the most ubiquitous and costly wastes in every organization - avoid them. 4. Feel free to challenge others, but do so with courtesy. 5. Receive challenges with generosity. 6. Always allow someone to finish their thought before you speak. 7. Do not refrain from sharing your opinion but avoid dominating the discussion. 8. Leave your ego and title at the door. 9. In God we trust...all others should bring data - Dr. George Box. 10. Our projects, our mission, our people, our budgets, and our rules are real our org chart is arbitrary 11. No one engages in silent disagreement.
