Formal Project Management is a process that’s used to successfully initiate, plan, execute, monitor, control, and complete projects using specific skills and tools to accomplish the project requirements. However, to be effective, project managers need to do more than apply the methods of formal project management. Join Mike, a conference favorite, to learn the core principles of Operational Excellence and Lean and explore how project managers can apply these concepts to deliver superior team performance and better meet the actual needs of the organization.

Do operational departments in your organization find themselves competing for IT resources to support improvement work?
When IT and enterprise leaders understand the core principles and concepts of lean and how they can be applied to IT operations, as well as support the lean initiatives throughout the organization, they become a key enabler of the lean transformation. During this program participants will experience a combination of classroom education, exercises, and will participate in a “gemba” walk to John C. Lincoln Health Network’s IT department. During the visit they will observe how teams have applied the scientific method for problem solving and collaborating to deploy resources in a manner that is aligned with organization priorities.
Key objectives for participants include:
- Understand the operational excellence principles that drive lean transformations.
- Learn how to practice scientific thinking for team-based problem solving.
- Articulate how visual management can improve performance and state a clear case for IT value.
- Describe how to optimize work processes in IT and the enterprise.
