Value Stream Mapping:
What and Why
Presented by Alan Koch
Your organization’s success depends on your ability to
deliver value to your customers. This is true whether your organization is
for-profit, non-profit, educational, government, or any other type. With that
in mind, a key question is this: How effectively do your organization’s
processes deliver value?
Value Stream Mapping is a technique that is designed to give you the answer to that question. And more importantly, it gives your team the insights they need to tune, change, and automate the processes they use so they can deliver value in the most effective way. Instead of optimizing merely for cost (with the risk of negative impacts on our customers), we can seek the most efficient ways to delight our customers.
In this webinar, after clarifying what Value Stream Mapping is and how it differs from process mapping or process analysis, we will show how the Value Stream Mapping technique enables you to see your processes as more than just sequences of actions. We will see how to picture a process as a value-delivery mechanism, how to see waste as any negative impact on value delivery, and how to measure the efficiency of value delivery.
We will survey a variety of analyses that are done in Value Stream Mapping, the view of the process that they provide, and the insights they can provide to support true process improvement.

Digital
Leadership – Best-in-class talent profiles for leading in the digital
organization
Presented by Melissa Swift and Christoffer Ellehuus
Organizations are projecting to spend more than $1 trillion
globally on digital transformation in 2020 to change their business and
products and refine the customer and employee experience. However, as many as
84% of those transformation projects fail. Lack of the right skills and
capabilities of their people and leaders is a leading concern and reason why.
Organizations are looking for leaders with not only the
right technical skills and understanding, but also with an adaptive and
creative mindset; those with the ability to pivot and thrive amid unexpected
change.
Korn Ferry has analyzed the traits, competencies and drivers
of more than 511 best-in-class digital transformation leaders compared
to a population of 4.5 million assessment data points to create a
distinctive profile of the qualities needed for the digital age.
Join this webcast to learn how you can transform your
leaders with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in the digital age and
realize your organization's growth objectives.
