Join Wabash Valley Lean Network (WVLN) for a 60-minute live-streamed event focused on how the ADKAR model can help guide individual change in lean transformation.

Change is a constant in today’s workplace, but guiding people through it effectively takes skill and structure. In this session, Bev Mooney from Dot Foods will introduce the ADKAR change management model, a Prosci framework that helps leaders and teams understand the human side of change. ADKAR stands for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement: the five key building blocks individuals need to navigate any change successfully. Bev will break down each stage and explain how ADKAR can be used to diagnose gaps, plan communication and training strategies, and sustain lasting improvements.

Following Bev’s overview, Anna Eickhoff will share a real-life application of the ADKAR model from a software application rollout. She’ll highlight how aligning the rollout plan with ADKAR principles is driving user adoption. Participants will leave this session with a clearer understanding of how to apply ADKAR to both large-scale initiatives and everyday process improvements to make change stick.

Who Should Attend

This event is designed for:

• Continuous improvement engineers and managers and all Lean practitioners.
• Managers and team leaders driving improvement initiatives.
• Professionals in manufacturing, service, office, and healthcare settings.
• Anyone looking for actionable problem-solving techniques they can use right away.

We will share actionable examples of how to drive improvement in your organization using these tools and procedures. Maybe something to help with your personal life.

We will also continue our tradition of "after the meeting" networking—stick around for a few extra minutes to share insights, ask questions, and connect with fellow Lean practitioners.

WVLN is a member-driven group, focused on applying Lean principles and continuous improvement methods to eliminate waste in business processes so member organizations can gain a competitive edge. WVLN helps train, connect, and encourage members on their lean journeys through the exchange of knowledge and experience.

As fabulous as the presentations are in providing new ideas and training that we can actively use in our organization and personal lives, the profound power of the group is the opportunity to meet, engage, and network with highly motivated individuals and leaders driving improvement in their organizations.

Whether you’re new to process improvement and lean or an experienced practitioner, join us for our next event. Connect with peers and share experiences of implementing Lean processes in a wide variety of fields, from manufacturing to healthcare to finance.

Annual membership is $500 per company for as many people as you want to attend. This covers all the events and meetings. Just one person having one good idea can pay for the entire annual membership for your company. There is also a single-person option available for $250 annually that lets one person attend all the events/meetings.

Either option is a fabulous value.

Non-members of WVLN can attend one of our events as a guest (at no cost), so feel free to invite a friend/peer who might have an interest in attending.
