[Seminar] A must-see for business improvement personnel! How to create and review manuals that are useful for business improvement (1/30)

Manual Creation Seminar in Tokyo, Shinjuku on January 30th, 2020 (Thursday)

A must-see for business improvement personnel! How to create and review manuals that are useful for business improvement.

Will be held.

※This seminar is the same content as the seminar held on December 5, 2019 (Thursday).

———————————————————————————————————————

We need to work on improving the manual for business improvement, but...

・Ordered to improve the manual with the theme of business improvement, but unsure of what to make the goal of improvement
・It is difficult to determine the direction of improvement because there is no shared standard for what kind of manual the company should have among multiple departments.
・I would like other departments to work on improving the manual, but I am struggling with how to show quantitative evidence rather than qualitative evidence.

As the work style reform is being promoted, many companies are starting initiatives towards business improvement. As part of that, there is an increasing number of companies focusing on reviewing and maintaining their business manuals.

However, these initiatives are difficult to set goals and measure their effectiveness, and it seems that many responsible persons are anxious about how to proceed.

Manuals, in the first place, tend to be subjective in judging their quality, making it difficult to objectively measure the effectiveness of improvements. If you blindly start improving or make mistakes in the process, there are many cases where your efforts will be wasted.

To accurately measure the effectiveness of improvements and achieve results that lead to business improvement,

①Organize current issues and needs related to the manual first.
②Clarify the priority of the task and establish a common understanding with stakeholders about the purpose and effectiveness of improvement.

Required.

Our company believes that by sharing the current issues, prioritized issues, and the perspective of what would be the ideal state after improvement among stakeholders, we can finally start the improvement of the manual.

In this seminar, we will introduce the know-how for improving manuals that our company recommends to support corporate business improvement as a manual creation company, where you can feel the results.

We also conduct document analysis workshops using actual manuals, so the content can be put into practice immediately upon returning to your company. This is a valuable resource for those in charge of business improvement who are looking to improve their manuals.
