A major criticism of the training and learning industry is our inability to translate ideas and knowledge into actual work areas. The leaders say, “training is a waste of time” or “training is slow and irrelevant” and does not support the business. One key reason is that many of our lessons and programs are designed to remember things, but not apply them. Remembering does not mean always applying.

In this webinar, you will learn 7 key questions that improve the learners’ and workers’ ability to apply ideas in actual work situations.

Topics cover:

  • Why is there is gap between learning and applying?
  • What are the causes of the gaps?
  • What must be fundamentally challenged in how we design our lessons and programs?
  • How do we rephrase, reshape and rethink the questions we use in lessons?
  • What are the 7 questions that will help –
    • Avoid errors,
    • Identify the cost areas,
    • Increase speed, reduce stoppages,
    • Engage workers, and many others?

Note:  Attend the webinar and obtain for Free – three “Situation Micro-Videos and Exercises” to apply questions and ideas at work.

Agile is seen by many as a progression from the traditional ‘waterfall’ approach,  considered too formal to adapt to the fast changing business environment.

Like in any other approach, there is room for improvement for teams using Agile. Lean Six Sigma was used for decades as a tool for process improvement on the assumption that  “what you can’t measure you can’t improve”.

In principle Lean (eliminate waste by process standardization) is fundamentally opposed to Agile (embracing change even late in the process).

Six Sigma can be the balance between Lean and Agile, measuring the impact of Lean and/or Agile initiatives.

Join  Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) in this presentation is based on a real case study, using Lean Six Sigma’s Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC) process to make the Scrum process more efficient in a software start-up.
