ONE-ON-ONE COACHING
One-on-One coaching is available for those who have completed the AdaptiveLean Greenbelt, 5 Week Fundamental Skills Coaching or the 10% per week Challenge. Those with previous Green Belt or Black Belt training in other programs are also welcome upon completion of the 5 Week Skills course or the 10% per week Challenge as well.
These One-on-One Sessions are typically one hour long and are scheduled for once every two weeks over a 3 month period for a total of 12 Sessions. The usual method is a Zoom call but in person sessions are also possible.
In these sessions you will be focused on real world problems from your own work situation.
These sessions follow a basic structure:
Session 1: Initial Assessment. Review of business or organizational Challenges leading to a draft of overall set of desirable outcomes by the end of the 3 month period and initial decision on the Focus Process. Assigned “Homework” before the next session usually includes Process Observations, an Input-Process-Output-Description (“Recipe”) and a survey of existing data sources.
Session 2: Review of initial findings. Decide the Focus Process. Review the skills and methods for grasping and describing the current operating pattern including key output metrics. Plans for data gathering and further process observations will also be discussed. The use of Run charts for metrics review will also be planned.
Session 3: Review the current operating pattern information, metrics and run charts. The focus now shifts to planning the first Target Condition with an achieve by date. Most often the scope will be configured to fit to a two week achieve by date (that is, due at the next Coaching session. The specific tool of the Experimenting Record and the use of the 4 steps of the Scientific Method will be initiated (see Toyota Kata by Mike Rother for details).
Sessions 4 through 12: continued to engage the 4 Step Scientific Method toward a series of Target Conditions with appropriate achieve by dates. At session 7 conduct a “midpoint” critical review and any modifications to the plans needed for the best possible results at the end of the 12th session. The 12 Session will include an in depth review of what went well, what did not go well and next steps.
