Education
and Training
Over
the past decade, R.E.V.V. International
and its allies have developed and delivered a broad catalogue
of effective, proven education and training.
All
education and training workshops are highly interactive, designed
for adults, and contain elements of Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic
Learning.
Each
workshop can range in length from one to five days, with two
to three days as the median.
The
following listing is typical of our selection of ‘stock’
offerings. It does not represent our complete catalogue.
We
strongly believe that effective education and training is an
‘alloy’ of technical and social skills. As such,
our offerings are listed alphabetically, rather than categorically.
Each workshop or series will be tailored to your specific Enterprise
needs and requirements, as part of our service.

Workshop Description
Building Vigorous Enterprises
(One to Three Days)
Subject
Headings:
Future
Trends
Organizational Development and Lifecycles
Corporate Culture
In this unique workshop, R.E.V.V. takes you on a journey of
organizational self discovery. Based on 30 years in business
(15 consulting to organizations) we will describe industry and
business trends that require development of vigorous enterprises.
Vigorous
is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as “full of physical
or mental strength or active force.” We make the case
that thriving in the coming years requires exceptionally vigorous
enterprises. Often, such enterprises are referred to as ‘Lean’.
Based
on a simple, profound model, we will define and highlight the
definitions, characteristics and requirements of the vigorous
enterprise. R.E.V.V. will engage the CEO in active discussion
of those requirements, and their potential impact.
Key
issues covered:
Definition
of vigorous as it applies to enterprises
Description/discussion - key characteristics of the vigorous
enterprise
Participant’s assessment of his/her own organization,
vs. these characteristics
Discussion of the ‘gap’ between current state and
the vigorous enterprise
Development of ‘first steps’, toward development
of a vigorous enterprise
Value to the Attendee. By the conclusion of this workshop, attendees
will:
Have clear information on business and industry trends
Understand the characteristics of vigorous enterprises
Engage in discussion with the instructor and others as to the
ramifications
Have determined the gap between his/her current state and ‘vigorous’
Have developed a working plan for taking the ‘first steps’
toward closing the gap
R.E.V.V. International is relentlessly focused on skill and
knowledge transfer, to speed your journey toward the Vigorous
(Lean) Enterprise. We have ready access to more than a dozen
world-class consultant/trainers, each with many years of experience
and deep skills (see ‘Friends of R.E.V.V.’). The
composition of this team has been developed to be able to provide
the right skills, to the right depth, just in time.

Workshop Description
Deploying Lean: Fundamentals of Success
(One to Three Days)
Subject Headings:
-
Productivity
and Process Improvement
Motivation/Empowerment
Training, Management Development
In this exciting and participative workshop, R.E.V.V. International
will bring clarity and context to the subject of deploying
Lean (and creating Vigor) in organizations. Lean is by no
means simply a ‘manufacturing issue’. Lean tenets
and actions apply equally well to any organization or enterprise
that has a Customer.
A
Lean business process is one that:
-
Operates
under ever-improving Conditions (internal and external)
Is effectively unconstrained (can always meet Customer demand)
Is free of Variations and Wastes (to the greatest extent possible)
Accomplishes more, with greater collaboration, with the same
people (not less)
Is more fun to be a part of (people want to come to work)
Participants will engage is discussions of:
Definitions and Principles
The ‘Decide-Experience Trap’ and how to avoid
it
The Power of Systems Thinking
A Context for Lean Deployment
Traditional Improvement Mindset vs. ‘Kaizen Blitz’
The Impact of the Core Toolsets (Blitz, 5S, Process Redesign)
Development of ‘First Steps’
Benefits to the Attendee. By the conclusion of the workshop
you will:
Have a clear understanding of Lean and its context
Participate in a discussion of ‘Why?’
Gain new knowledge of the underlying definitions and principles
Gain a clear understanding of the impact of the ‘core
toolsets’
Develop your own context and conditions for deployment
Develop your own preliminary deployment plan (if necessary)
R.E.V.V. International is relentlessly focused on skill and knowledge
