The Path Forward

Brain Rules

Continuous improvement is a valuable method that once successfully implemented will make teams and entire organizations grow. That is – if everyone is on board. And that often turns out to be the biggest challenge.

Brain Rules are the tools that will change everything. By working with the power of our minds, you and everyone in the organization will finally make the ‘click’ you need to realize a sustainable change together.

TO THE PROGRAM

INEX (Innovation Excellence)

At the heart of the Lean philosophy lies the scientific method. It may sound strange but Lean thinking is hardly ever heard of in the scientific arena, while Lean thinking has so much to offer to research teams. Our INEX program brings all the Lean insights and more to your research department to improve the innovative power of your research teams.

You will increase the ability of everyone to solve problems they face in their work
You will increase the innovation output of your research teams.
You will reduce effort and time to deliver innovation to your customers.

When you have established INEX in your research departments you have created an environment in which innovation can flourish.

The Lean Laboratory

Learn and understand the Lean philosophy and the techniques and how they apply to the laboratory situation. Although the Lean heritage stems from the automotive industry it applies to the laboratory setting equally well. Either being a QC-lab on a production site, a high throughput screening laboratory in the pharmaceutical industry or a high profile fundamental research lab, all can greatly benefit from the continuous improvement insights available. Translating these improvement concepts to a laboratory environment may sometimes be a bit tricky. Our Lean training and on the job guidance for laboratories bridges that gap.

Cooperative improvement

Together with your team you work intensely on improving one of the team’s work processes. Simultaneously you will significantly improve the teams’ cooperation and your leadership skills. Together with your team you’ll define where and how to improve and to build a better team. By the end of this ‘real life teambuilding’ you will have an engaged revitalized team, you will have improved your leadership over the team and have build a better process that brings more value to your customers.

WHAT DOES Y47 DO?

When Y47 comes into your organization, we don’t start with a model or a slide deck…

We get in a room with you

We listen, we observe, we ask questions.

Together, we see, hear and feel where things stand and where they need to go

We make visible what needs to shift

When that’s clear, we start building

– step by step –

We learn as we go.

We involve people as we move.

We adjust when needed, but never drift.

This is how Y47 works

Not in theory – but in practice

WE DO THIS IN THREE FOCUS AREAS
