This two-day intensive (and intense) class applies Lean principles and tools to better manage personal and project work to circumvent chaos, communications issues, and low morale.

Creator of Personal Kanban Jim Benson, along with Tonianne DeMaria Barry, his co-author for the Shingo Award-winning book "Personal Kanban: Mapping Work | Navigating Life," will introduce this Lean tool to understand, plan, and act on the options we have available at work. In this class, we will discuss how knowledge workers primarily work using their brains and, therefore, any personal or team optimizations need to focus on the actual people doing the work.

Learning Objectives
We will directly apply Lean to the office:

• How individuals and teams become overloaded
• What the impacts of task and project overload are
• How morale and culture drive successful office environments

• How to create systems to balance planned and unplanned work in the office
• How to chart the real completion times of tasks and projects for better planning
• How to visualize and control individual and team work
• How to set up obtainable goals and work-in-process limits
