Transformation
Dates: 15
& 16 September 2008 (with a 1 day follow up workshop in March
2009)
Venue:
Cochlear, Lane Cove, Sydney
Paul
Carter, Innovation Manager from Cochlear invites you to attend this
two day event.
“I found
Darrell's course inspirational - a breath of fresh air. Here is
someone offering systematic and concrete methods for quickly
generating the solutions that most of us assume we just have to sit
around and wait for. He has a deep understanding of the process of
innovation, why most of us do it poorly and how to systematically
look beyond the "dominant paradigm" to generate novel solutions.
Darrell's real strength is that he is a doer as well as a teacher.
He spends about half of his time teaching and the other half
generating breakthrough solutions in some of the world's most
innovative organisations. Consequently he always has a timely and
relevant example to illustrate the points he makes.”
Process
Transformation – From Diminishing Return To Breakthrough -(Why
settle for 1% improvements, when you can deliver
30-100%?)
For
managers and process engineers the world over the words ‘continuous
improvement’ form the essence of our existence. The pressures of
global competition mean a seemingly never-ending race to eliminate
waste, reduce variation and squeeze more and more output from our
business, logistics and manufacture processes.

Optimum Processes to Ideal Processes – Defining Breakthrough
Magnitude and Long-Term Improvement Goals
