This experiential learning practicum is an in-depth study of the operating model used years ago to develop the current thinking that Toyota people utilize daily.
Hear how change agents often believe they can copy what they see at Toyota today and via training/workshops their people will apply thinking like Toyota people. Too often the training focuses on the application of tools rather than teaching people how to think. Attendees will learn how the model enables people to think and understand how their role impacts customer outcomes, and the relationships of value chains, standards and problem solving. The Customer Back Model© serves as a methodology to teach thinking and as a visual management model.
