TWI, Kata and Standardized Work in Risk Management

Making frontline people central to the risk management solution.

When trained and managed properly, the frontline can actually be the first line of defense against organizational risks.

Employees are your organization’s most important asset, and at the same time, your biggest risk.

A recent McKinsey report stated that many organizations face crises when they neglect to recognize and manage frontline behaviors.

Leveraging our programs, including TWI, Kata and Standardized Work in risk management improves your frontline’s productivity, safety, morale and compliance. Then, they become an active part of the solution.

TWI Institute helps by:

Evaluating current skill sets and ones that require improvement or development
Addressing turnover by migrating behind-the-lines strategy to your frontline
Closing safety breaches and curtailing safety incidents
Developing a “leadership workforce” that recognizes problems and solves them
Assessing and addressing inherent risks in policies, premises and procedures
Reducing risks and grievances over health, safety and environmental issues

TWI Institute is a people business that coaches and trains. Our risk management training programs empower employees, support risk management strategies and generate results that create value in the workplace. When employees feel empowered, they work to actively solve problems instead of staying passive. This approach improves relationships and output of frontline supervisors and teams, and gives your organization an ideal foundation for Continuous Improvement, Lean, kaizen or Six Sigma initiatives.

Recommended Programs

TWI Programs

TWI is proven to build skills, stability and safety among supervisors, team leaders and workers through hands-on learning and practice.

Kata Programs

Kata makes improvement a top-tier priority. Kata embeds structured, scientific thinking into day-to-day work and quickly establishes a culture of continuous improvement and problem solving.

Standardized Work Programs

Stabilizing work conditions and operating time, increasing the level of safety, enabling easier judgments regarding “normal” versus “abnormal” situations, reducing costs and, overall, maintaining and improving quality – all of these are the results of learning and implementing Standardized Work.

What Our Clients Say

Our goals were to change the culture and create competitive advantage with our workforce. TWI training was the missing link… We cut error rates and OSHA incidents while upping worker improvement ideas.
