Continuous Improvement Workshop Management

• Projects are endless, consuming a lot of time and resources
• More than half of planned projects are not executed or do not achieve results
• Project leaders focus on immediate results rather than on sustainable paradigm shifts in critical processes
• Project meetings are unproductive and full of endless discussions
• Project teams lack decision power and fear to take risks
• Little involvement from sponsors that are far from the shop floor reality
• Addressing problems in a structured and sustainable way is not a common practice
