We have just posted five more video talks
from our last Lean Summit telling a remarkable story of the power of using
policy deployment in healthcare. Two years ago, inspired by a talk from Takashi
Tanaka, David Furley leading the lean transformation at the United Lincolnshire
Hospitals NHS Trust went home determined to do this too. Two years later he
returned with his team to show how policy deployment has not only given focus
to their transformation journey but has also significantly changed the way
management meetings are run and the behaviour of employees at every level in
the organisation.
These videos tell this story from four levels from Director level to the Wards. The passion and inspiration of these stories are worth watching and sharing to inspire your colleagues, whatever industry you are in. They complement the pioneering stories of the use of Plan for Every patient and Visual Hospital at the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust at our 2011 lean Summit. Together they form two aspects of a management system described in Making Hospitals Work that is delivering significantly better performance
within
the NHS.
Yours sincerely
Daniel T Jones
Chairman, Lean Enterprise Academy
