SLEGO - The Bridge of Innovation and Dreams

Simulator (2 Min)

To create a common lexicon in which a group can begin to work and dream together, there must be a bridge between reality and imagination. That bridge is SLEGO Industries. It provides the opportunity to explore simple and complex ideas and experience the benefits and consequences before anything is actually changed in an organization. With good leadership, systems and processes, many organizations figure out how to work together, however, it is only the greatest that work and dream together.

"Someday I'll create a company called SLEGO Industries that helps people work and dream together. A fictitious company that seems so real people will believe they actually work there."    
~ Rob Brown, July 12th, 1991

SYNOPSIS
This one day session covers many critical aspects of the obstacles, challenges and solutions to growth and prosperity in any organization. With a combination of simulations and team break-out activities the day is a highly effective and fun learning experience. Course subject matter highlights are as follows: 

• Accelerated Growth: In most organizations, growth requires stress and pain. For that reason, often, the majority of an organization doesn’t want to grow. You will experience how to get your people excited, passionate and working toward a prosperous, growth based future.
• Dreaming BIG! One of the curses of organizational improvement is that 'dreams' are reduced to mere goals and objectives that are small. Low targets can be achieved just through working harder. Crazy goals and objectives are achievable but will require dreams, imagination, creativity and changing the design of the system. Together, we learn how.
• Organizational System Design: We will learn how significant business results can only be achieved by changes to the design of organizational systems and processes. Results such as, financial, quality, new product development, customer satisfaction, behaviors, leadership, and others.
• Cybernetics, Action Science and Trauma: Understanding some of the roots of human behavior is critical to success in a transformation initiative. Learn about a little known science that began in the 1940’s that focuses on the critical nature of understanding communication, language and culture. A simple cultural assessment can be provided to employees.
  
• Disciplines of Leadership: Highly effective working sessions are performed in small group break-outs, based on leadership development conducted around the world. A leadership team self-assessment can be provided to help get you started within your own organization.
• Learning Organization: Do you have a learning organization? Toyota has corporate divisions in agriculture, aircraft, automotive, bio-medical, chemicals, foods, financial services, genetic engineering, pharmaceuticals and racing. They are involved in any business where they can apply knowledge and transfer it throughout the corporation. We can explore practical methods to establish a learning organization.

The Transformation Accelerator (3-Day Workshop)

Accelerator 3.0 (2 min)

The Transformation Accelerator is an intense improvement boot camp for leaders to be equipped to lead significant organizational change. Teams are sequestered and have three days to baseline, design and implement their new product delivery system before having to present and run their new design in a final competition.

---

SYNOPSIS
This 3.5 day adventure travels through a transformation roadmap with 30% teaching and 70% doing. Below are some highlights: 

• Baseline: Before you can begin to design a new company, a thorough assessment and understanding of the way things are today must be established. Processes, products, customers, suppliers, resources, quality, capacity etc.
  

• Design: The team is challenged with designing a company that has 4X the output with little to no additional resources in addition to the launch of a new, never seen before product line. The teams have a mission to keep every activity and process as simple as possible while expanding for growth.
• Implement: This is where the rubber meets the road when it comes to teamwork. The key to success here is iterative improvement. Many teams struggle talking and arguing, wasting valuable time without trying out the ideas. The teams who try the most ideas and practices usually come out on top.

• Improve: Before the actual competition begins, practice rounds become a high speed opportunity for improvement.

• Measure: Teams have over 40 measurements in categories of Teamwork, Team Presentation, Process Baseline, Systems Baseline, Process Breakthrough Design, Systems Breakthrough Design, Performance and Bonus.

University Executive Education is perfect for one or two employees who need an educational boost. However, the Transformation Accelerator is an opportunity for all your leaders to, at or near your site, go through a custom executive education that is focused on specifically equipping them to lead improvement throughout the whole organization.
