​​​​​​​Solve More Problems
Create More Value

Develop and Coach a Team of Problem Solvers and Finally Get a Continuous Improvement Culture that Sticks
You get Lean.
And you've developed some pretty solid
​​​​​​​problem-solving skills.

Now you're working to create a continuous improvement, problem-solving culture.

Easy Peasy, Right? 
​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​Not So Fast


Do you find yourself acting as the primary problem solver on your team?

Do you wish you could get more people on the team to be effective problem solvers?

The reality is, as Lean practitioners and leaders, we can't do all of the problem raising and problem solving ourselves.

​​​​​​​We need to develop the problem-solving skills of the entire team.

You've tried teaching PDSA or your problem-solving methdology of choice.You've tried using systems - Gemba Walks or A3s or Daily Meetings or Kata or 2-Second Improvement Videos - to spread problem solving to the whole team.

You've had some results you're proud of.


​​​​​​​But you know there is still a piece missing - that critical link that makes this work easier and generates sustainable results for the organization.

Have you . . .
. . . been stuck as the "answer" guy or gal? Do you find yourself carrying the weight of other people's monkeys, leaving you without enough bandwidth for the priorities that matter most to you and the organization? 
Have you . . .
. . . or your team felt like you're just spinning your wheels. Like you're stuck on the Tea Cup spin cycle and just need a minute to catch your breath before trying the next thing on the list (or "Re-Trying" a past initiative?
Have you . . .
. . . found yourself just holding on, closing your eyes, and hoping the team eventually "gets it"? The team just keeps jumping straight to answers and making assumptions, and so "fixing" their countermeasures just makes more work for you.
You're Not Alone!

What if there's a more effective way . . .​​​​​​​
What if there's a way you could reduce tension, increase collaboration, and ignite team member engagement across the team, so they're the driving force behind improvement and problem solving?
What if there's a way you could use your leadership behaviors to make CI part of the culture and just the way the team works day-in and day-out . . .delivering results along the way?
What if there's a way you could lead the team to make improvement and daily management systems actually stick - and know you have the leadership systems in place to prevent backsliding?
There Is!

To move beyond the struggles and ups and downs of tool implementation
​​​​​​​and to a consistent problem-solving and improvement culture, 
it's all about three things:

Leadership Beliefs.
Leadership Behaviors.
Leadership Systems.​​​​​​​
Hi, I'm Jamie
I started my Lean practice like most of you - with the tools. And while we were getting some early wins, it was hard. It was like we were dragging people along. And the moment we took our eyes off the ball to focus on a different priority, system execution would slip.

I made it my mission to figure out why creating a Continuous Improvement culture was so hard. I read books, talked to experts, visited sites, and experimented with different leadership approaches across 18 plants.

What I learned is that to get problem solving to move beyond the CI practitioner or the manager - and actually stick - we had to focus on 3 things: beliefs, behaviors, and systems.

Through cycle after cycle of experiments and improvements, I developed a 5-Step System that enabled leaders to develop a team of problem solvers. As I coached leaders on using this system, time and again they found that the work got easier. Team members got engaged. Improvement systems started to stick. And managers were finally hopping off the roller coaster ride of Lean tool implementation and instead focusing on those strategic priorities that mattered most to them and their organizations.
Don't waste time trying to figure it out
We've all done it. We've read books, listened to podcasts, attended conferences and workshops - and then tried to figure out how the pieces fit together.

When it comes to developing a team of problem solvers, the DIY puzzle is gone.

Instead, learn and follow a cohesive system that enables your team to solve more problems to create more value.

BONUS #1: Bonus Training - How to Ease the Pain of Change
Let's Get Real. The truth is that Lean transformations involve a TON of change. And people don't like change - resistance is a natural, human reaction.

Move faster. Create sustainability. Leave a legacy.

Word on the street . . .
"Jamie is an inspirational leader. Her gift is developing leaders and teams to overcome challenges and perform at higher levels than they thought possible."
​​​​​​​
          - Steve Kane, Gemba Academy

"Jamie brings a wealth of real-world experience into her training with impactful and inspiring approaches that deliver lasting results."

          - Jonathan, VP - Business Process & Improvement
"Jamie is, without question, one of the most passionate Lean thinkers I've ever encountered. Her drive, ambition, and never-quit attitude are a true inspiration."

          - Ron Pereira, Gemba Academy

"Jamie played a critical role in helping us develop leaders throughout our organization who not just understood the technical aspects of Lean, but led a cultural transformation based on leadership development that showed up in our business results and in the fulfillment levels and personal lives of our team members." 
​​​​​​​
          - Gregory, VP, Manufacturing Operations

“Jamie played a key role in my growth as a leader by showing me a different way to lead my team. By focusing on the process and results, instead of just the results, I learned to reflect on my own behaviors and improve how I engage my people to bring out the best in them. Thanks to this approach, I have become more adept at balancing the human side of leadership with the reality of operational business needs, achieving positive results in both.” 
​​​​​​​
          - Alec, Process Improvement Manager

“Jamie has helped me completely transform the way I view my role as a leader, and her influence has reached well beyond my work hours. I’ve developed from an overbearing boss pushing a frustrated team for immediate results – to a leader who values, empowers, and guides others with care and sustainable processes. This journey has been the most challenging, fulfilling and productive time of my life, and I am a better leader, husband, and father as a result!”

          - Christopher, Senior Plant Manager

Solve More Problems, Create More Value

1. It's a Comprehensive System
We read books and attend workshops and then try to piece it all together - trying to figure out what to take and what to drop from each learning experience. No more! This program is a system, with each of the 5 "C" levers working together.

2. Learning + Implementation - Just in Time
Rather than going to an all-day workshop or a 3-day conference and feeling overwhelmed, this program gives you small learning segments in a sequence that works. In each lever, you will get the Short Game actions to take right now, plus be able to build your Long Game Plan for those cultural change components that take time.

3. Built-In Coaching & Accountability
We've all done it - attended a webinar, workshop, or conference with grand plans of implementation. Then we get back to our day jobs, and the demands of the day win out. In this program, you will get live coaching on the specific obstacles you're facing so you can take action and get results.

4. Community Support
Leading with Lean can be a lonely endeavor. But you don't have to go-it alone. In our private online coaching community, you will build relationships and get support from others just like you. They understand your pain and your challenges. They've learned things along the way that can help you. And you can give back by supporting them as well. Community is special, and this program gives you the exact community you're looking for.

FAQs

How much time will this take each week?
I get it – I know you’re busy! That's why each workshop will be limited to 90 minutes. And every session is recorded, so you can fit the training into your schedule. You will keep access to all of the recordings for a full year, so you can go at your own pace. Keep in mind, that this program is all about implementation - so to get the best results, you'll want to set aside time to practice what you learn.  

Does this program include training on tactical Lean tools?
Most of this program is focused on creating a lasting Lean culture. We will work on Lean leadership systems like Gemba Walks and Leader Standard Work. But we aren't going to dig into traditional Lean tools. After asking hundreds of Lean managers and practitioners what their greatest challenges are, the overwhelming response was related to culture - not tools.

And - if you find yourself stuck with a specific Lean tool along the way, your peers in the private coaching community are there to help - or I can even pull out my rolodex and resource library to point you in the right direction.

Do I have to be a Lean expert to benefit from this program?

No. This program can be customized to fit your needs – whether you are just starting out on your Lean journey or are two decades in.

What if I can’t attend the Live Interactive Workshops or the Live Coaching and Q&A Sessions?
I know you have competing demands for your time. Every call will be recorded so you can watch at your convenience if you are unable to attend live.

I'm sold on Lean, but I don't see how I can stay committed to it with all of the pressure to deliver results now. Will this program still work in an organization that isn't 100% committed to Lean?
Short Answer: Yes! This is a common experience, so first know that you're not alone!  In this program, you will learn to lead from wherever you are in the organization. And I'm providing a BONUS Download specifically for people in this predicament: Leading Through Process in a Results-Only Organization.


When does the program start? I'm busy during the holidays.
