Planning for Continuous Improvement w/ Allison Greco Zen and the Art of Manufacturing

    • Administración

Join us as we dive into the world of continuous improvement. But, instead of a focus on tools, we focus on the why. “We have to be very good at persuading people so we focus a lot on the why.”


Why are we making a change?
Why now?
What’s in it for me?

Allison Greco is a continuous improvement guru, having worked for the railroad, various government roles, oil and gas, and now has founded and leads a continuous improvement organization, Continuous Improvement International.

“It starts with building a relationship with them before you actually want to go and improve processes… You listen for small things. You listen for things you could help them with today or tomorrow, and you bring them a resource and help them find an answer and build the trust.”

Join Bryan Sapot, CEO of SensrTrx, and Allison as they talk about:


How to get everyone on board with continuous improvement
Understanding the behaviors and habits that drive efforts
Finding and engaging a key stakeholder that will help your project succeed
Planning for continuous improvement projects
Acknowledging the problems that need to be solved
Improving rather than simply cutting costs
Selecting metrics to drive the behaviors needed to succeed

If you would like to connect with Allison, she can be contacted via LinkedIn or through Continuous Improvement International.
