Beyond Doing More with Less – Leveraging Lean to Build Better Ways of Working
Don’t just tell your people to do more with less. Equip and engage them to improve how they work so they can serve more people in a better way.
Humanitarian organisations are under enormous pressure to respond to rising needs with fewer resources. Meeting this challenge requires innovation at both system and organisational levels.
We all know Toyota’s products: rugged, dependable and fit-for-purpose vehicles we rely on every day. But few of us know Toyota’s management system, Lean, which leads to such outstanding results through its foundational pillars of respect for people and continuous improvement. Few know that Lean promotes accountability and learning and equips and engages every employee to solve problems to make their work easier, better, faster and cheaper.
In this practical session, we will describe what Lean is, show how it aligns with humanitarian values and principles, and explain how humanitarian organisations can leverage Lean to build better ways of working. Along the way, we will share compelling examples from World Vision and Medair of how employees applied Lean thinking and tools to improve humanitarian work and enable their organisations to serve more people in a better way.
Whether you are a leader, manager, donor, or innovator, our goal is to help you see the potential of Lean to be an essential part of how your organisation and the whole humanitarian sector can engage everyone in innovation to go beyond delivering more with less.
