Targeting Value through Business Transformations
From Business Case to Operational Processes
Many companies struggle to translate their digital transformation initiatives into real business value. High expectations of stakeholders are often not met or only partly achieved. Enabling technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Platforms or Blockchain tend to deliver only a fraction of their potential. A process-led approach to value-driven digital transformation addresses these challenges.
This presentation discusses key topics required to master the value-realization of digital business initiatives:
-
Identify high impact processes and transformation targets
-
Define a value-baseline for those processes to develop a realistic business case
-
Implement digital technologies in a process and people context
-
Enable an ongoing value-realization
All findings are illustrated using case examples, mainly from financial and high-tech companies.

Integrating Strategic Deployment and Daily Management Systems to drive both Process and Culture Improvement in Healthcare
It is easy to say, "Yes, we have implemented elements of Lean!" or "Yes, our caregivers are empowered to make the processes better ". However, it still comes up in nearly every employee engagement survey that the lowest scoring question consistently remains "Do you feel connected to the overall strategy and vision of the Hospital and do you feel empowered to impact it?".
This gap between high-level strategic/organizational goals and daily departmental goals can usually be traced back to a lack of a true daily management system, lack of passion or understanding around departmental goals, and/or direct tie from the departments goals to strategic/organizational goals. This session will give you a case study/road map of how a group of hospitals in Southern California focused on removing this gap with a true top-down, bottom-up approach to employee empowerment and overall ecosystem connectivity that begins to answer the question that has challenged every healthcare leader, which is, "How do I build and effective, engaged, and empowered culture?"
- Why is employee engagement such a challenge in Healthcare?
- Daily Management System seems like such a straight forward concept; why is it so hard?
- What are some options for developing a strong connection between the hospital's overall strategy and goals and each department's targets
- How a strong base understanding of Lean fundamentals and basics can help to drive engagement and empowerment
- How does a solid Daily Management System become the basis of steady organizational improvement and a generator for process improvement projects, Just do its, and Kaizen event ideas
- How Strategic Deployment and a strong Daily Management System provides the inter connected needed for goal attainment and continuous improvement
- A step-by-step road map that has worked and been replicated as a best practice
