The Harley-Davidson Motor Company has long held the image of challenging stereotypes and the status quo.
This is more than an advertising image to Harley-Davidson. It is the foundation of how they run the business. On March 25th this U.S. based motorcycle manufacturer will open their doors for a private tour of the facility. This is a rare opportunity to see successful business-focused work groups in action. This plant also has the unique distinction of being the only Harley-Davidson facility to produce an entire motorcycle, the groundbreaking VRSCA V-Rod®.
Harley-Davidson’s success is based on a joint partnership between the company and two unions. This partnership extends throughout the facility – all areas and all levels and all 900+ employees. This is a true high performance group-based operation with full participation of all employees focusing on bottom-line business results and improvement. Employee work groups meet regularly to discuss production targets and develop action plans to address issues. The three primary benefits they have achieved as a result of their group structure are:
• Full involvement by all employees in the business and its success
• Business accountability at all levels of the organization
• Decisions are made at the point closest to issues by those involved
In conjunction with this tour, Competitive Solutions, Inc. will conduct a Process Based Leadership® workshop on March 23-25. The workshop will focus on structured processes that concentrate on improving the bottom-line business results using non-negotiable processes to drive communication, trust and accountability. Discover accountability techniques, performance management systems, case studies and break-out sessions in this dynamic workshop. Not only will you be able to benchmark your organization against Harley-Davidson, you will also learn the steps your organization needs to take to operate with focus, urgency and accountability. You will learn about the importance of each of these steps and see how Harley-Davidson has used them to drive business success.
