You are invited to join members of Vistage for their next speaker session, led by Brad Jeavons on “Foundations of Enterprise Excellence”
Foundations of Enterprise Excellence
Business leaders want to be “World Class” and of course strive for “Business Excellence”.
At the same time, we need to embrace the opportunities being provided to us by technology developments such as AI. This has led to a resurgence of well established principles and the fundamental basics of excellence; understanding the Voice of the Customer, identifying value creation and flow, and embedding a culture of continuous improvement.
The concepts of “Lean” and “Agile” are timeless but often get embedded in a mystique. The basics are simple. Understanding process, identifying value, eliminating waste, problem solving, visual management, engagement and conversation. In all common sense, that in some organisations not that common.
The role of the leader and the leadership style to foster a culture of excellence is critical.
About Brad Jeavons
Brad Jeavons is a Brisbane based speaker who I have worked with extensively over the years. He has developed a great reputation for practical, interactive workshops, weaving the leadership skills needed with the tools and processes (and jargon!) of Continuous Improvement, Lean, Agile and Scrum - in summary “Enterprise Excellence”
Brad was involved early on in his career with sustainable organisation growth, continuous improvement and innovation. This led him to become connected with the Shingo Institute (Western World’s Leading Prize for Enterprise Excellence) and the Agile Education Program (Jeff Sutherlands organisation, founder of Agile/Scrum).
Brad says his superpower is simplifying these, sometimes complex, topics and facilitating in a way that engages and involves people to help them define their own opportunities to enhance their organisations growth, culture of engagement, continuous improvement and innovation.
He is the founder of Enterprise Excellence Group, an Australian group of independent world class enterprise excellence practitioners. He the author of the award winning books Agile Sales and Leading Excellence. He has run the Enterprise Excellence Podcast and Community for several years and has some great case studies from some amazing local mid-tier companies such as Signet, Priestley’s, Ferra, Elexon, Sunny Queen, and Woods Group.
The challenges all these organisations face are very similar, how you go about improving is different. The goal is the same, create a culture and system for sustainable organisation growth and culture of continuous improvement and innovation at all levels to create & sustain competitive advantage.
