The training has an interactive format on what most enterprises struggle with, especially manufacturing and even service enterprises. There will be some theory lessons on the methods, and attendees will be asked to bring their real world examples, as case studies to understand the methods shared.
Through group discussions, we will explore the true nature of the problem, and discuss possible solutions on how to address the business and projects challenges, so that you can bring your current customer projects to the next level.
The end-goal is to help your customers create a healthy organization, with Profitability as primary driver.
In this course, you will be challenged to step out of your comfort zone, to think out-of-the-box, or even to ignore the box. You will be encouraged to look from customer’s perspective, and to reach out, and engage with current or even new customers. What would you do if you were the CEO? How would you budget and spend, if it were your own money?
The objective is to take a holistic approach for stakeholders.
Over the 2 days, attendees will briefly learn about creating the ‘Pull Effect’, basics of Change Management, Cost Modelling and several tools on creating Profitability for the customer.
