Concurrent Session

M32 - Building a Quality Culture Using Daily Management

Monday, April 30
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Location: WSCC Ballroom 6E

Concurrent Session

Level: Intermediate

Peter Drucker said, "What gets measured, gets improved." But whose job is it to do the improvement: leaders, managers, engineers, Black Belts, Green Belts? If improvement is the job of a specific role or department, they will quickly become overrun with problems. The answer is to turn your workforce into an army of problem solvers, and daily management is one way to accomplish that. Engaging the entire workforce and changing the culture is the ultimate vision. Aligning company goals and work team goals to ensure that efforts are impacting the right things is one key component of Baptist Health Kentucky's program. Using daily huddles to share data and do team problem solving is another. And developing leader standard work to support and encourage the teams is the third key component. Come see how Baptist Health Kentucky has launched daily management across their system of eight hospitals. Learn the components of daily management and hear the details of how it applies to healthcare and other industries. Gain tips for launching a new initiative across multiple sites. And see examples of improvements gained from daily management.
