NOLA Lean – Making a Community within a Community
The New Orleans Community of Practice (CoP) has focused on ways to meet people where they’re at since its inception in 2017. Like other LCI CoP’s, the success of the endeavor to form a lasting lean community relies on local volunteers willing to dedicate their time, talent, and energy. The payoff is not immediate, but those leading the effort are likely to gain value in terms of: professional development, new friendships, and as a gateway to connect with other Lean change makers in the broader lean community.
Current and former leaders of the NOLA CoP will be on hand to unpack their successes and stumbling blocks with forming a community of lean practitioners within the broader LCI community and within the local fabric of New Orleans.
We’ll cover the following highlights:
1) Big picture story – A few stats and a brief recap of Forming, Storming, & Norming
2) Strategies for meeting participants where they are on their journey
3) Strategies for meeting volunteers where they are on their journey
4) The Power of Association
5) The Power of gentle nudges and other Lean Leadership tips
