Leading Lean
This course enables you to successfully drive lean implementation in your organization by showing you how to lead a team to eliminate wasteful practices, streamline work, shorten lead times, and increase customer value and employee engagement to improve customer and employee satisfaction.
Leading Lean is designed to provide organizational leaders with the skills needed to successfully facilitate a lean implementation and to support a lean culture post-implementation. In this engaging, interactive, and thought-provoking learning experience, organizational leaders will learn how to broaden and deepen their existing leadership skills by learning about the differences between applying lean to an organization versus integrating lean within an organization. In addition, organizational leaders will review and analyze their own existing leadership thinking, practices, and behaviors to identify what they might need to change to optimally drive a lean transformation forward and entrench it within an organization’s culture.
