Bio
Tyron Williams
I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from Ela during her time with Rockwool. Her passion and ability to cut through the 'noise' and help you see the problem in a positive way is a gift. She is skilled in both Lean and TOC which gives her a very high skill set for strategy development and her personality allows her to deal with all areas of a business. I would strongly recommend Ela to make a great difference to any organisation that is looking to change and improve.

From 2014 to 2016 I was the manager for Elzbieta. Elzbieta was part of the central Rockwool LEAN team and her responsibility was to implement the Lean and Leadership culture together with local lean coaches and Management in the Central Eastern area of Europe covering 4 large factories; 2 in Poland, 1 in the Czech republic and 1 in Hungary. Another part of her job was to develop the Lean strategy, roadmap and training materials together with the central team and adjust it to the culture in the Eastern European factories. In the Lean implementation Elzbieta developed the strategy for the 4 factories and run workshops in strategy deployment together with top management teams, made end to end value stream maps of the factories, thus finding great potential for improvements and set up a performance management structure with KPI´s and daily board meetings at all levels in the factory. Elzbieta trained employees and managers on all levels in Lean tools as 5S, Standard Work, SMED etc. Improvements were implemented using Blitz Kaizen events according a methodology developed in cooperation with Simpler. Elzbieta also trained all the managers in Std. Leader Work, GEMBA walking and more traditional leadership skills like Situational management, Change Management, Coaching and Conflict solving. As a person Elzbieta was highly respected for her skills and great ways to interact and communicate with all employees from the Managing Director to the Operator on the shop floor. I hereby give Elzbieta my highest recommendation. If you have further questions you are welcome to contact me. Niels Olesen
