Shingo Institute workshops provide best-in-class, cutting-edge education, designed to assist you in your organization's cultural transformation.
Countless organizations have begun an improvement initiative of some sort. At the foundation of most of these initiatives are a set of tools or countermeasures that seem to promise earth-shaking results. And, yes, many organizations do see some improvement at first, almost all of these initiatives ultimately meet disappointing ends. Leaders quickly find that these tools (think SMED, jidoka, 5S) are
not independently capable of effecting lasting change.
But now there is a way to avoid this trap. The Shingo Institute has determined the difference between short-lived successes and sustainable results.
The difference between successful and unsuccessful Lean effort is the ability of an organization to ingrain timeless and universal principles into its culture rather than rely only on the implementation of tools and programs. Nearly three decades of assessing organizational culture and performance as part of the Shingo Prize process, The Shingo Institute has seen, first-hand how quickly tool-based organizations decline in their ability to sustain results.
On the other hand, organizations that anchor their improvement initiatives to principles - or understand the "why" behind the "how" and the "what" - experience significantly different results. To best illustrate these findings, they developed the
Shingo Model™, the accompanying Shingo Guiding Principles, the Three Insights of Enterprise Excellence and a four-workshop series to help you and your organization achieve cultural transformation and sustained enterprise-wide excellence!
