Management Skills Workshops

Why is it that productivity gains are so hard to get? There will be many reasons offered, but productivity gains are elusive at the best of times. It is difficult to stay focused for a long period of time and to hang onto hard won gains.

The underlying tool to getting gains and keeping them, is to be able to have a group of people thinking and implementing ideas in such a way that the business can be moved forward as one. A win in one part of the business may be a loss for someone else!!

Breakthrough Solution to create win/wins is needed. Quite clearly, businesses have been chasing productivity gains for a long time. You need a quantum leap to get beyond the "grind mode".

Every time we make and implement a decision, there seems to be an equal and opposite force at work, minimizing the win down to much less than anticipated.

• Do you buy that new machine? If you do, costs will go up.
• Do you work overtime tonight or employ more people? If you do, costs will go up
• Do you split up our business into "managed departments?" If you do, you now create internal "tugs of war"
• Do you change our schedules today? If you do, started work stops and costs go up
• Every time you take an action to meet a customer need, it breaks our flow and costs go up
• Every time you do bigger runs to get unit costs down, some customers wait longer
• Do you increase prices to recover cost increases? If you do, we may lose customers

Why do you have so many dilemmas? And there are literally hundreds more!! Maybe there is a powerful root cause underlying this tangle of dilemmas? If there is, what is it?

ViAGO can show you the tools and how to use the tools to find this "root cause" and implement the solutions, using techniques in our Management Skills Workshop. You will be able to implement a sound logical platform for your people to make much better Day 2 Day decisions.

This program is designed to be practical and implementable. There are two days of course material, then a 2 week gap for practice, then 2 days of course material, another two week gap for practice and the last two days of course material. ViAGO has designed the course this way so the participants gain fluency so using the tools becomes second nature and fast.

This is the key to unlocking productivity gains. It is not just about investing in new technology and hi tech machines. Sometimes there are very nasty side effects that were never anticipated. This program gives us a much greater understanding of the causality of your decisions.

This program will transform the way your people think, manage and implement.

A breakthrough solution that is so powerful, it allows us to make effective "day 2 day" decisions, dealing with the root cause of our dilemmas. If ViAGO and you can cause that, many of the interacting forces at play can be abated.

The investment for the program is $7,500 + GST per person. We have special offers for dedicated corporate sessions.

MAFIA Offer Boot Camp

If you read Dr. Goldratt's book It's Not Luck you read about how we use "cause and effect" logic about your customers, industry, and your company to create a marketing offer we call "The MAFIA Offer".

A MAFIA Offer is a market offer so good that your customers can't refuse it and your competition can't or won't offer the same.

MAFIA Offer is not a list of strengths, a cliché, subjective or offered by the competition. When you have a MAFIA offer you are making a business proposal, everything changes, it is even sold differently.

MAFIA Offer boot camp is presented by Dr. Lisa Lang, the President of Science of Business, and Brad Stillahn, co-facilitator.
