Description
Strategy & Culture: Aligning Daily Work with Business Goals
A Free Live Training Event for Oldham County Businesses
Is your team busy but not always aligned with your company’s goals?
Do improvement efforts feel disconnected from your long-term strategy?
Does your culture support change or quietly resist it?
In this session, we’ll bring the series full circle, focusing on how to connect the daily actions of your team with your company’s highest priorities. Learn how to align operations with strategy using a simple but powerful method, and explore how to intentionally build a culture that supports continuous improvement, ownership, and shared success.
Join us for the sixth and final 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 use Hoshin Kanri (Strategy Deployment) to translate goals into daily actions
- How to engage teams in meaningful, aligned improvement work
- How to identify and strengthen the cultural elements that support continuous improvement
- How to build a system that sustains progress so improvement doesn’t depend on a few individuals
