Lean Café ‘open mic’ discussion of how to recapture the pace of improvement

15 months ago, the onset of the Covid-19 crisis led the EU-Japan Centre to open the “Lean Café” – an online forum to discuss and share lean thinking. The 14 October session will take the form of an ‘open mic’ group discussion around the topic of “Recapturing the pace of improvement and realigning at this phase of the Covid crisis”.

October’s discussion will be led by Ian O’Toole (Associate Director of Enterprise Engineering at Mondelēz International in Ireland) and Richard Keegan (the EU-Japan Centre’s Lean Advisor and Adjunct Professor of Lean Operational Excellence at Trinity Business School). During the session you will be encouraged to share your views, questions and your company’s strategies including for dealing with future crises and how to treat and manage your employees as lockdowns end.

Recent Lean Café sessions addressed “Making Digital Transformation and Lean work in harmony” (with a focus on two Czech companies, SpoluWorks and Effectivity) and “Applying WCM tools and principles across an organisation to create a world-class company” (looking at CNH Industrial). Recordings and presentations from both sessions are available in the Lean Café archive.

For more information Lean Café sessions see the Lean Café webpage.
