2:20 PM Track A: Mastermind: Process Before Platforms: Operational Excellence, Lean, and Change Management

Many organizations are racing to roll out new tools on top of processes that are inconsistent, undocumented, or outright broken. This mastermind session brings together leaders who put process before platforms, using Lean and operational excellence disciplines to map value streams, standardize core workflows, and run continuous improvement cycles in field and support operations before (and after) major tech decisions. Participants will compare how they structure daily tasks, and frontline problem solving in service environments, and how they pair those practices with simple, repeatable change management playbooks that managers at every level can execute.

Discussion includes:

  • Grounding all tech decisions in process and operating models
  • Understanding how leading teams run continuous improvement in service
  • Building a simple change playbook your leaders can actually execute
