Daily Work Management (Nichijo-Kanri) in Self Directed Teams
To Drive Ownership of Problem Solving and thereby Get Over Crisis Situations
Context: of Nichijo-Kanri will be clear if you try to find answers to the following questions.
Do you constantly struggle to get newer ways to make teams at workplace Self-Directed?
Do you struggle to make teams perform better?
Do you run out of ideas to boost their spirits?
Does a typical day at your workplace begin and end with firefighting that never seems to end?
Does a typical day begin with newer emergencies?
Do you see a frequent communication-gap among your employees?
Do you frequently come across cross-functional and cross-level bottlenecks and fights that never seem to end?
Do you find the linkage between daily grass-root level activities and annual objectives (derived from company’s strategic plan) is either missing or is inadequately established?
If your answer to any of the above questions is YES, then it is time to implement Daily Work Management. In absence of Nichijo-Kanri (the Daily Work Management), implementing newer technologies or in-fashion improvement initiatives will take you nowhere in spite of whatever amount of HRD initiatives including Self-Directed Teams are in place.
Expected outcome: Enhanced awareness so as to get ready for implementation of the Nichijo-Kanri as the next step. Additionally, upon completion of our application-oriented 'Train-The-Trainers' program, the trainers shall be able to install Daily Work Management company-wide that shall help you to drive ownership of not only solving problems but preventing them from occurrence and recurrence and thereby help you get out of fire-fighting in a sustainable manner.
For Whom: Top Management Cross-functional team (who has authority for company-wide changes) must learn-n-lead the process.
