Speaker: Melanie Beaumont - Senior Advisor, Lean Advisors Inc. Defining roles, selecting the
right players, and setting measurable benchmarks for return are critical
differentiators between Lean teams that succeed and those that don’t.
The key is to create a sustaining Lean culture that supports the right
behaviors and values. Lean cultures strive to eliminate the costly
wastes created in the ‘human’ system of an organization, replacing
them with a climate of accountability, productivity and competitive
excellence. Melanie Beaumont has worked with
companies in Canada and the U.S. establishing ways to measure and
benchmark behavioral wastes using a Cultural Current and Future State
methodology that mirrors Value Stream Mapping on the operational side of
Lean. She will be discussing typical behavioral disconnects found in
Lean teams (and with their leaders) and speak to a number of case
studies in Lean culture implementation that set the ‘gold bar’
standard. Melanie has managed
both process and structural change at the enterprise and team level. Her
experience includes organizational design and restructure and she has a
long track record in strategic planning in a change environment. One of
her specialties is setting and meeting measurable benchmark goals for
cultural change initiatives. For Lean Advisors Inc. (LEAD®),
creator of the ‘Cultural Value
Stream Process’, she has most recently implemented the program
with the Royal Canadian Mint, Acrohelipro, and Saeplast Canada Ltd.
Melanie also created and delivered LEAD’s ‘Lean
Leadership’ program for Wachovia Securities, Richmond, Virginia
and Masonite Canada to enable their Lean Enterprise initiatives. Also
for (LEAD®), she created and delivered ‘Customer
Service in a Fast Paced Environment’, ‘Leading Change Management’,
and ‘Managing Change for Teams’ programs at Ottawa Airport. |
