Learning from Ireland's story: the success of a country in adopting the Shingo Model

 

When you are in Ireland, you can immerse yourself in the culture through the people you encounter – whether it's at malls, on the streets, or in your professional interactions.

It's a culture that prioritizes "people-first."

 

Here's what we've learned from Ireland's journey and their unwavering dedication to business transformation and building best-in-class businesses.

  • There is a common purpose that unites individuals in Ireland who are driven to change, improve and be the best they can be. Nurturing this purpose involves consistent messaging, emphasizing the "what's in it for me" aspect, and linking it to the greater good – the vision of "making Ireland a Global Force."

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Need to foster networks of change leaders: Leaders who have the ability to inspire and cultivate a fervor for change.

  • Strengthen collaboration: Utilize benchmarks and collaborative growth to collectively improve.

  • Embrace Systems Thinking: Concentrate on constructing an ecosystem conducive to success, including public-private partnerships.

  • Promote Education: Advocate for the Shingo Model within organizations, highlighting its capacity to foster authentic and sustainable change while enhancing performance. It is a solid foundation for a sustainable change.

Operational Excellence at Jabil, Shingo Prize Recipient

 

 

10 Key takeaways to learn from:

 

  • Reflect when needed: Stop and think what you really need to do, first to remain relevant, second do the right thing. The dissatisfaction with the status quo, leads to improvement.

  • Make your Excellence visible to all, use visual management to communicate and align.

  • Focus on Systems, don't make the mistake to focus on tools only.

  • Humble leadership is a key differentiator. Leaders who are present and listen.

  • Build Systems that promote ownership for Continuous Improvement.

  • Create a shared responsibility for Continuous Improvement. Build autonomous problem-solvers.

  • Empower your Middle Managers.

  • Adjust your practices to what makes sense to your organization and your people.

  • Spend the necessary time focusing on improvements, it pays off. Don't rush, all good things take time to mature.

  • A leader needs to know the Gemba, and while there look, listen and learn.

 

Leaders get the culture they deserve, designing a winning culture should be the aim of every leader, if cultures are left to evolve on their own, they end up managing the company outcome rather than the other way around.
