INSIGHT NEWS
This is an exciting time for i2e as we extend beyond our
traditional boundaries to welcome a number of first time newsletter recipients
and participating organisations. The theme for this newsletter as i2e
embarks on it’s own new directions is diversity — and the extraordinary power
of ‘learning to see’ not just from other organisations, but from entirely
different industries.
The inaugural Service Insights visit was held at ANZ international
headquarters on Queen Street, Melbourne last week.
More than 60 people attended this inaugural event to learn about lean and leading excellence in a knowledge intensive transactional operating environment. A Key learning for the group from the ANZ team was the importance of combining the small step (100 x $100 savings) projects with the large step (1 x $10,000) savings.
i2e has formed a partnership with Sustainability Victoria
to present a series of Sustainability Insights, that will showcase
organisations that have combined manufacturing excellence with environmentally
sustainable business processes and practices.
The first Sustainability Insight visit will be hosted by Fergusson
Plarre Bakehouses at their purpose built Keilor Park operations on July 15th

East Business Networks and NorthLink/Nietl.
More information on the Sustainability Insights program will be available
on this web site soon.
