Description
Developing Problem Solvers at Every Level
A Free Live Training Event for Oldham County Businesses
Are problems getting pushed up the chain instead of being solved where they happen?
Do you find that team members rely on managers for all the answers?
Would you benefit from a workforce that sees problems as opportunities for improvement?
In this session, we’ll show how companies can build a culture of daily problem-solving by developing their people to think critically and act decisively. Learn how to equip your team with tools, methods, and habits that make improvement part of the everyday workflow.
Join us for the third session in the CIWerx Lunch & Learn Series, led by John Allen, former Toyota Manager of Training and Development and founder of Total Systems Development (TSD), and Ryan Allen, creator of CIWerx, a field-based lean transformation program built specifically for small and mid-sized businesses.
What You’ll Learn
- How to introduce a simple, structured problem-solving process at the team level
- Why developing problem-solving capability is more important than giving quick answers
- How to spot problems early and respond effectively without escalation
- How to build confidence, ownership, and learning across your organization
