Workshop Title: Breakthrough Manufacturing

Mastering Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing has streamlined organizations, but has not protected implementers from competitors nor guaranteed long-term growth. The recent economic crisis has changed all of the rules. Instead of managing from what you did last year, you need to help your company plan by looking into the future.

Your Team will understand how the following four steps will uncover a new path for market growth.

• Plan for the future not from the past
• Learn from your competitors
• Be disruptive
• Build white space to innovate
