Lean Curriculum: What we do

Facilitation

We facilitate workshops where people who do the work identify problems, develop strategies for removing problems, and design experiments for acting on what they've discovered. We'll support you during the term of these experiments, work with leadership to develop people and teams, and leave you with everything you need to making continuous improvement an ongoing, everyday practice.

• A3 8-step problem solving workshops
• Kaizen (continuous improvement) events
• Value stream improvement

Training

Our training curriculum helps people at all levels of an organization learn how they can contribute to continuous improvement. We don't train in a vacuum, but integrate training into workshops and projects to give people the principles and tools they need to develop their thinking and skills.

Culture change

People ask us to give them tools or to facilitate events, which we're happy to do. But we want to help you improve the culture of your organization. Anything we can do for you, we want you to be comfortable doing for yourself. That's why our longer-term projects blend facilitated workshops, training, and individual and small-group coaching with a goal of helping your organization internalize Lean principles, practice the Lean way of thinking, and know how to use Lean tools.
