Developing a Lean culture may have its struggles. Yet, how do you ensure you are getting the right people on board who will support this culture once it’s developed? Ensuring you have a method to recruit talent that supports your new found culture will be critical to the success and sustainability of Lean in your organization.

This workshop will encompass a discussion on critical recruiting/interviewing components to ensure successful candidates are chosen as well as a roadmap for integrating new hires into a Lean culture by utilizing Lean philosophies.  Walk away with a toolbox of information to incorporate a Lean culture that starts at the beginning! In this session, you will learn…

  • What values are critical to interview for in a Lean culture
  • How to assess a candidate’s ability to continuously improve
  • The importance of visuals in recruiting
  • The failures and successes of others on this journey
  • How onboarding a new hire with Lean tools is imperative for successful integration
