Is an activity value-added, or non-value-added? That’s a fundamental Lean Thinking perspective and a key question at every level of an organization. We now know that the best Lean projects foster deeply collaborative work environments. But where does “collaboration” (literally defined as co-laboring, i.e., working together) actually take place?

The simple answer is, in meetings – all kinds of meetings: large groups, small groups, one-on-one, formal, informal, stand up, sit down, regular, ad-hoc, feed-forward, feedback, and on and on. But how many times have you heard someone complain that they “can’t get any work done because I am always in meetings”? What percentage of the time that you spend in all of these sorts of meetings is truly value-added, how much just sort-of useful, and how much of it is a waste of time or worse, a drain on your forward momentum? How much is this costing you in direct and indirect costs? What’s the recovery time for participants of a lousy meeting?

This webinar will identify the single most important root cause of non-value-added meeting time and introduce participants to one of “The Five Keys for Collaboration” – Effective Meeting Management. How you plan and manage meetings, identify and engage stakeholders, solve cross-disciplinary problems, make collaborative decisions, and create a collaborative workspace/culture can make or break any Lean Transformation effort. You will leave the webinar with several tools that can help you eliminate the least effective 25% of your meeting time, or transform it into highly productive interaction.
