Topics:	Clinic #1 - Dave Nagy Presents Tools that support Better Decision Making.
	TOOLS THAT SUPPORT BETTER DECISION MAKING Why does the same problem come up? We don’t have time to investigate? Just fix it and keep the product moving? Time is money! We don’t have the time to investigate to make sure that we are addressing the root cause. There is a pressure to just “so something” and apply another band aid. This might be a short term fix, but the organizations wastes a lot of time, money, space, etc. on quick fixes. It makes more sense to eliminate the problem rather that fix the symptom. There are numerous tools that can be used to support a lean holistic approach to problem-solving or root cause analysis. Over the last 15 years in lean consulting, there are two tools that can help you make a better decision. In this clinic, you will … • Learn how to calculate the cost of a bad decision • Learn how to use the Decision Matrix Analysis • Learn how to use the Ripple Effects Wheel • Transition the use of these tools to your world
	Clinic #2 - Daniel Shibley Presents Aerospace industry in crisis: Training, recruiting and sustaining the next generation of the Aerospace workforce.
	The Aerospace industry is at a critical state. With the workforce being depleted from retirement and other issues, the industry is at a critical state. In this clinic you will take away: • The current message from the Aerospace agency on the state of the workforce. • The challenge to mentor and train. • Options for companies that are facing a skilled workforce shortage. • Hope for a greater grasp of the next five years of Aerospace.


	Dinner Topic - Phil Rosenkrantz, Ed.D Presents A Deeper Look at the Six Stages of Quality System Implementation.
	The ability of an organization to effectively implement continuous improvement or quality management systems requires the transformation from a transactional culture to a transformational culture. Understanding the subtle differences between these two cultures is essential to leading the transformation. The focus of the presentation will be to model the differences in these two cultures using Hayes’ Six Stages of Quality System Implementation and show how this model aligns well with many current leadership philosophies and actually ties them together. This understanding is very useful for those involved in leading the change process. Participant take-aways: Understand the contrasts between work-centric and systems-thinking cultures Understand the six levels of transformation and how they can be useful to leaders and change agents An understanding of modern leadership theory required for leading transformation Realize that how we think about certain things as leaders is very important to the transformation
