Findings: • Overall, when we review what our members want happening one year from now and long-term, NWHPEC is aligned and offering what they need (Problem Solving and Kata). • Primary Obstacles NWHPEC isn’t currently addressing: Leadership engagement (lack of) and Leadership doesn’t prioritize/see the value in CI • The Board had a lengthy conversation with excellent sharing from Brett and Kyle regarding how they use Strategy Deployment and other CI tools, like Leader Standard Work to a) keep their associates work aligned with the business needs and b) help them as leaders know what they should be working on • Discussion occurred around steps we could take to start engaging leaders from NWHPEC (CEO dinners with keynote speakers, etc) • Alex and Julie felt we were still in Current State and needed to further understand what our members mean and need to remove the obstacles around leadership engagement and leaders not prioritizing or seeing the value in Lean.
