Join us as we welcome operational excellence leader and former Toyota Engineer Jess Orr, for an interactive Leader247 session on building a continuous improvement system that lasts. Drawing from her experience at Toyota and from various executive and strategic deployment roles, Jess will explore what it takes to move beyond isolated improvement projects and create lasting organizational capability.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build a sustainable improvement culture: Gain leadership and frontline alignment, create early wins, and build systems that make improvement part of everyday work.

  • Connect improvement to business priorities: Focus resources on the work that matters most and measure success through meaningful operational and financial impact.

  • Communicate with executive leaders: Translate Lean and continuous improvement concepts into the language of predictable execution, reduced costs, stronger engagement, and P&L performance.

This session is for you if…

  • Your improvement efforts depend on isolated projects or a centralized CI team

  • Leadership support is inconsistent or skeptical

  • Employees resist new improvement initiatives

  • Your organization is introducing advanced tools before establishing the fundamentals

  • Improvement priorities are disconnected from the people closest to the work

  • Your team struggles to demonstrate the business value of continuous improvement

  • You are caught between daily firefighting and building long-term capability

If you are a leader, operational excellence professional, or improvement practitioner trying to create meaningful change beyond individual projects, this session will give you a practical perspective on building a continuous improvement system that delivers results—and lasts.

Virtual session | Tuesday, August 25th | 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. CST

Join link will be emailed after registration.
