Some approaches are no longer applicable. Organisations need to really think about their investment in human capital in terms of where they will come from, what they will do and how they will contribute to increased performance. HR also needs to demonstrate the value that it can bring to the table. The HR function is well-positioned to provide sustainable competitive advantage to the organisation through its workforce. According a PwC Human Capital Report 2014, less than half (45%) of HR leaders are confident that they will have the right talent to execute on the business strategy. The Society for HR Management (SHRM) also state that managing talent and improving leadership development are the most critical HR challenges facing organisations today and projected for the future. The reality is that organisations around the world are facing similar talent challenges and in order to solve these problems, requires a shift in thinking. Competition is fierce, talent supply is difficult to predict and HR executives are under severe pressure to prove a return on investment in people. But with challenges comes opportunity – with new thinking and advances in analytics and technology, HR is certainly capable of great things and is able to contribute to the strategic heart of the organisation even if this means fighting to prove its worth. The human resources function is well-positioned to deliver sustainable competitive advantage to the enterprise through its workforce.

While lean is effective in improving processes, as in those for making automobiles or insurance pay-outs, how does it engage HR? It is a body of practices and philosophies that originated in Japan in Toyota. And Toyota claims, ‘We make people before we make parts.’ TPS stands for the Toyota Production System, but also, the Thinking People System. If we miss the people development aspect of lean, we miss the whole thing. In this fun-filled workshop we will explore the essential people part of lean and HR’s key role with respect to lean in the organisation: developing capability within HR; delivering value for the organisation and its customers; and how results will surely follow. KEY THEMES KEY OUTCOMES • What is lean? How does it distinguish itself from other improvement approaches? Understanding of lean as: Learning by doing: is it easier to get people to act their way into a better way of thinking or to think their way into a better way of acting? An HR-based game will make this practical, memorable and enjoyable. • • • • • • • Illustrating the core lean practices of Standard Work, Visual Management, 5S, and Value Stream Mapping • A3 problem solving and proposals, and the Lean Kata • Gemba walks and leader standard work to drive and embed culture change A management system, not a collection of tools and techniques A vehicle for evolving a more effective and reliable corporate culture, and one that aligns with and supports the strategic imperatives Developing leaders to think and act strategically in support of front-line staff focused on delivering value to customers Contributing to HR effectiveness within the HR function and the organisation Only learnt by doing, which means developing capability, delivering value, and delivering results all in the same initiative. Who should attend Senior HR executives seeking to strengthen a lean initiative or to launch one either in the HR area or the organisation as a whole. Emeritus Professor Norman Faull is the Chairman of the Lean Institute Africa and formally a Professor of Business Administration at the Graduate School of Business, University of Cape Town.

The payment of SETA grants is regulated by the Government Gazette, no. 9867, Vol. 570, 3 December 2012, no. 35940. These Regulations clearly state that the SETAs “must allocate a mandatory grant to a levy paying employer” that has submitted a WSP and ATR by the regulated date, has provided all the information required in the regulated template, and is up to date with skills levy payments. Furthermore, the template in the Regulations (Section C: Skills Development) allows employers to include ALL planned training in the report; not only accredited programmes.
