How we apply the Shingo Model
We support organisations to apply the Shingo Model in a way that is practical and aligned to their operating context.
Rather than starting with theory, we use the model to:
Understand how behaviours, systems, and processes interact
Identify gaps between leadership intent and day-to-day practice
Prioritise improvement activity that will deliver sustainable results
Our role is to help organisations translate Shingo principles into observable behaviours and embedded ways of working.
Shingo Discover Excellence Workshop
A core part of how we apply the Shingo Model is through delivery of the Shingo Discover Excellence Workshop.
The Discover workshop provides leaders and teams with a structured introduction to the Shingo Model, focusing on:
The relationship between principles, behaviours, systems, and results
Why many improvement efforts fail to sustain
The role of leadership in shaping culture through management systems
Delivered in a highly interactive format, the workshop helps organisations move beyond awareness and towards application. It creates a shared language, a common understanding, and a strong foundation for deployment.
We typically use the Discover Workshop to:
Launch a Shingo-aligned improvement journey
Align leadership teams around a common model of excellence
Support organisations considering deeper adoption of the Shingo framework
Where appropriate, the workshop is integrated with follow-on assessment, leadership development, and improvement activity.
Embedded Across Our Services
The principles of the Shingo Model are embedded across our core services.
PRODUCTIVITY ASSESSMENTS
Our Productivity Assessments are influenced by the Shingo Model and focus on understanding how behaviours, systems, and processes combine to drive performance. This allows us to identify not just what needs to improve, but why current performance exists.
Lean and Continuous Improvement
Our Lean and CI programmes reinforce principle-led improvement. Tools are taught and applied, but always within the context of leadership behaviours, system design, and long-term sustainability.
Leadership Development
Our leadership programmes reflect the Shingo view that leaders shape culture through the systems they design and the behaviours they reinforce. This helps leaders move from intent to consistent execution.
