Not a workshop tour. A structured learning through observation.

The Shingo Institute distinguishes between industrial tourists — who visit and see what they are shown — and students of excellence — who observe with a structured framework and come away understanding what drives what they saw.

Every IgniteXcellence workshop includes facilitated Go & Observe (Gemba) experiences at the host site . You are not watching a presentation about how the organization works. You are on the floor — either in person or virtually — present with the teams, the systems, and the conversations that make the culture visible.

The gateway to the entire series. Introduces the Shingo Model, the Shingo Guiding Principles, and the Three Insights of Organizational Excellence.

◈ Understand the Shingo Model and its three dimensions

◈ Discover the Three Insights of Organizational Excellence

◈ Explore how principles inform ideal behaviors

◈ Experience structured Go & Observe at a live host site.

We look forward to seeing you at this foundational workshop.
