TeamSAI Principal Mike McBride's Presentation made to the Aviation Week Forum on Lean & Six Sigma for MRO held in San Francisco on October 2-3, 2007.

Mike shares how TeamSAI has sustained lean implementation momentum at Federal Express. One key factor in sustainability has been the "Lean Leadership" training series developed by TeamSAI's team of Lean Experts. This training targets all levels of management from VP to Supervisors and provides these important change agents with the tools needed to become effective leaders within an emerging Lean culture.

Topics such as mental modeling, seeing problems as treasure, and how to connect lean activities to the organization's strategic objectives are all covered in this presentation.

If you are an executive considering a Lean Initiative or have recently started a Lean Implementation, or if you are a manager or supervisor in the midst of helping implement Lean in your organization, you will find this presentation contains helpful information for you as your organization embraces a lean culture.
