Overview

In a world filled with annual objectives, how can you create a management system that allows you to effectively deploy those goals throughout your organization and embed them into the personal management system of each individual so everyone uses scientific thinking when striving towards their goals? Hear how senior director at Terex Corporation Jenny Snow-Boscolo combined deployment using cascaded kata challenges with personal management systems (think leader standard work) to help develop the organization while striving towards its goals.

Company

Genie, a Terex brand, was founded in 1966 when Bud Bushnell bought the manufacturing rights to a material lift that operated on compressed air. Customers seemed to be impressed with the “magic in the bottle” that was used to raise and lower the hoist — and, the “Genie” name was born. With growing demand for material lifts and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), products such as man-lifts, stick booms, articulated booms, scissor lifts and telehandlers have been added to the Genie® product line. Today, Genie equipment is used in a variety of industries and applications worldwide, including rental, aviation, construction, entertainment, government and military, industrial, as well as warehouse and retail. www.genielift.com
