Round 2 of our Mission Unpluggable workshops has been completed 🙌🏼
What can we take away from these sessions? Randal Hodson explains…
“When introducing a new operating system, nothing drives home an understanding of the benefits of the change like a hands-on simulation exercise.
Our production simulation involved every member of the ESI team, creating a realistic representation of day-to-day operations, enabling participants to understand how the new operating system will affect processes, roles, decision-making, and performance outcomes.
Readiness for change is all too easy to overlook or undervalue when driving for excellence. Teams can find it difficult to visualise changes through presentations alone. Our hands-on simulation bridges this gap by allowing participants to apply new concepts in a practical setting and immediately observe the impact on productivity, quality, communication, and workflow.
Our production simulation exercise has provided an environment for our colleagues to:
• Understand the purpose and principles of the new operating system.
• Experience the differences between current and future operating practices.
• Recognize the operational and business benefits of the new approach.
• Develop confidence in applying new tools, processes, and behaviours.
• Strengthen collaboration across functional boundaries.
• Increase commitment and readiness for implementation.
Our sessions covered everything from strategy to 5S, HSE to line balancing, leadership to kaizen, and much, much more.
Furthermore, the spin-off benefits of allowing future talent to shine in a safe environment and enjoying social time together cannot be understated. Several of our presenters had never delivered training, coaching and facilitation of this kind previously, and yet they were brilliant!”
Well done team! 👏🏼👏🏼
