Kaizen Workshop
Kaizen is a focused, high energy, high velocity cross-functional team breakthrough event. The 1-week Kaizen Event, following a tightly scoped 3-day Define phase of the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) process focuses cross-functional teams on the Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control phases of the DMAIC process. Teams define current state via value stream maps, process walkthroughs, videotape, pictures, and data. Teams analyze the process to identify root causes, then design, pilot, and implement improvements, train affected employees, and ensure new processes are capable. Findings, results and remaining actions presented to management are completed with facilitation following the event in a tightly scoped 2-day follow-up to the Control phase to ensure gains are being sustained. The total 2-week effort is typically divided into Kaizen Event Prep and Kaizen Event. Participants learn a continuous improvement implementation strategy that is quick and effective. They will also learn how to use a wide array of tools and problem solving techniques as well as how to map, measure, analyze, plan, implement, and sustain significant process improvements. Typical Kaizen results are a 20-50% reduction in Lead Time, 5-20% improvement in productivity, 20-50% reduction in inventory, and significant improvements to quality, on-time performance, and safety, Improved work area (cleaner, safer, better organized). Typical results range from $10K-$250K per Kaizen.

Belbin Profile
Simply putting a group of people together and expecting them to work as a team is not enough. Since people are among the most important assets in an organization, it is crucial that they should be deployed in the most effective way possible. Effective team working is dependent on getting a lot of things right. Individuals within a team have to understand the roles that others play, when and how to let another team member take over, and how to compensate for shortcomings. Belbin profiles complete the team building solution by identifying team members' "preferred team roles". This input is critical to George Group's Team Accelerator course and other of George Group's Team Effectiveness courses.
