If your organization is like the other healthcare organizations that we have worked with you are implementing improvements to add value and improve safety for your patients. But all too often improvement efforts are only yielding short-term gains.

When organizations start out on an improvement journey, they often focus on lean tools to reduce waste and find quick wins. Eventually, the quick wins become harder to find and previous improvements start deteriorating. This is because improvement tools need to be built into the systems in an organization and these systems need to encourage the right behaviors from those working within them. Once you shift from a tool-based to a principle-based approach to improvement you will begin to see sustainable results.

We have spent more than 12 years working with healthcare organizations to understand why lean transformations succeed and why they fail. We have seen the proof that those with a principle-based approach are much more successful in the long-run.

We can teach you how lean principles, systems, and tools work together to improve organizational performance.

We want to make it easy for healthcare professionals to learn in a way that meets their individual needs, which is why we developed an on-demand and self-paced course, Principles and Behaviors of Organizational Excellence, in our online platform Catalysis Academy. Also, you can register for a live, virtual session of this workshop that is led by one of our faculty members.
