5-Day Improvement Workshop at Your Organization
An immersive learning and innovation experience
This onsite Rapid Process Improvement Workshop (RPIW) is a five-day workshop that focuses on empowering the people who do the work to eliminate waste and reduce the burden of work for a particular process within a larger Value Stream. Designed around the plan-do-study-act (PDSA) method, RPIWs offer organizations a standardized and accountable improvement method for realizing their vision of an improved future state.
A Virginia Mason Institute Partner facilitates the experience while providing coaching to ensure the workshop is productive while simultaneously serving as a learning experience for the organization.
