Training & Development

Developing knowledge for sustainable transformation

Achieving culture transformation in any organization begins by understanding the need for change. Many companies get infected with flavor of the month and never really understand the requirements needed to successfully develop the organization to a “can do” culture. Our transformation training and workshops help senior leadership, managers and employees determine on their own the reasons for change. The knowledge development includes the following areas:

The burning platform
The commitment challenge
What is in it for me
Recognizing opportunity
Sustaining the achievements

NuStratis, over the last two decades, has trained over 2500 individuals to become leaders and change agents in their organizations. Our training provides participants with enhanced problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) model. During the training you will learn how to use many of the Lean Six Sigma problem-solving methods and statistical tools to contribute to the success of your organization.

NuStratis Lean Six Sigma transformation training includes:

Lean Six Sigma overview training
Champion training
FACSim training
Kaizen master training
Lean Sensei training

Champion Training

Change starts with the leadership of a business. Often, organizations will embark on a continuous improvement journey without really understanding what is required of them. This training focuses on executives, managers and change agent’s role, and it exposes them to the basic concepts, but more importantly it focuses on understanding the commitment required for a successful transformation. The training is in a workshop format where the leadership of the organization will discuss the critical issues they will face moving forward. Some of those issues would be culture resistance to change, resource alignment, roadmap agreement, strategic improvements, business performance evaluation & reward and recognition to mention a few.

The training duration is designed for 16 hours, but it can be customized to the client’s needs. The participants will be exposed to NuStratis’ transformation methodology as well as well as the DMAIC implementation process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve & Control).

The training will incorporate the following topics:

NuStratis transformation roadmap
Implementation models
Managing change
Strategic improvements
Measuring business performance
Lean Six Sigma tools overview

FACSim Training

This training session is designed to provide senior leadership, managers and employees with a vision of what a lean enterprise transformation can do for an organization. There are two main elements to the training. One is concept definition and the second is hands-on process simulation. The training is intended to help managers and employees relate the concepts with real life business opportunities. Opposed to many beliefs, lean enterprise goes beyond the operational areas such as the “make” processes. The real gain is when organizations are able to see the connection between information driven process and physical manufacturing processes. The training will attempt to provide a clear link between these two types of processes.

Below is the training content for this session.

DMAIC cycle
Waste
The value stream

NuStratis has conducted over 250 lean workshops throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia,emm and has implemented multiple lean enterprise solutions for several Fortune 500 organizations.

The Lego factory simulation immerses the participants in a hands-on, fast-moving learning environment. The participants will learn first-hand about the seven types of waste, as well as plant layout, visual systems, workplace organization and much more.

Kaizen Master Training

Many organizations throughout the world have embraced Kaizen deployments due the speed for which improvements are accomplished. At NuStratis, we have developed a training program to teach any employee how to conduct and facilitate Kaizen workshops. The goal is to equip employees with the facilitation skills so they can go into any area of the business and perform improvements.

Our approach to conducting Kaizen workshops is planning and long term sustainability. We focus on allocating a large part of the time to planning and sustainment elements of a Kaizen workshop. There are many that would say a Kaizen workshop must be at least 5 days. We are here to tell them they are wrong (see our video selection). We have facilitated and trained many employees to conduct 2, 3, and 4 day Kaizen workshops with huge success. A Kaizen Master will have the ability to plan, execute and sustain an improvement effort within their business area or anywhere in the organization. Our gaol is to train as many Kaizen Masters throughout the organization as possible to handle simple and/or small improvements.

The Kaizen Mater training duration is designed for 40 hours ,but it can be customized to the client’s needs.

The training will incorporate the following topics:

Kaizen process (DMAIC methodology)
Workshop planning
Facilitation & Implementation
Workshop follow up & sustainment (measuring results)
Mapping tools
Lean Six Sigma toolset overview

Kaizen Master training is a way to enable the work force to embrace change.

Employees are energized by seeing their ideas come to life first hand. Employees become promoters when their ideas deliver bottom line results.

Why wait? Give us a call for more information on Kaizen Master training.
