The core of any lean transformation is built on commitment to “…continuous improvement with respect for people.”
Yet, far too often the human resource functional organization is simply left out of the lean transformation. In other cases, HR leadership and commitment to lean is absent and not demanded. This is a huge oversight and slows the evolution of the lean enterprise considerably and may contribute to its longterm failure.
The lean transformation provides a perfect palette for human resource professionals to supercharge the impact of their key functional areas of responsibility which ultimately extends to all parts of the enterprise via:
Organizational Development
Hiring,
performance management and career enrichment
Education, job training, cross training
Compensation and incentive programs
Benefit program selection and administration
Jean Cunningham Consulting has real world experience in each of these areas through prior leadership of the human resources function, operational leadership roles, and program design that begins with the best traditional thinking and is then enhanced with the application of lean principles.
Through workshops, sensei guidance, kaizen leadership, and discussion of insights, we can help guide your human resource organization to attain lean leadership and engage its functional roles in the lean enterprise.
Contact Jean Cunningham Consulting to discuss your lean journey and how we might contribute to meeting your goals.
