Greatly appreciate the discussions yesterday and the input on the forum! This is helping me shape my replacement plan and developing OPEX goals moving forward.
I think Unison could benefit from some *light* awareness training across the company, with more targeted training for the opex workgroup or employees interested in deeper engagement. Additionally, depending on their experience, our new facilitator may need more comprehensive, in-depth training.
Jason, building on your point above and our discussion yesterday, storytelling about our successes—whether through live KPI displays on the production floor, newsletters, or visual storyboards—might effectively promote CI awareness, perhaps even more so than awareness training.
Brad, I really like your last point: CI fundamentally involves reaching a better future state. It doesn’t always require a formal tool or process. I believe these formalities have discouraged some in my organization from initiating improvements.
I also want to note my takeaway from Haley’s discussion about acknowledgment. Recognizing, rewarding, or simply praising all efforts—big and small—is beneficial to building culture of continuous improvement. Something I hope to initiate with Unison in the near future.
Thanks again, to everyone on your insights. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations yesterday. I’m looking forward to see what recipes Brad posts in the next thread and our future meetings!
