The Lean Learning Center offers an innovative program this December to help organizations improve their results by focusing on transforming companies from the inside out.

The Lean Experience®®

The Lean Experience®® is a 5-day program that challenges the way your company approaches work. Use the following questions to help you determine if your company could benefit from this highly interactive workshop:

• Do you have demanding customers? Are you facing a competitive market?
• Have you experienced recent growth due to acquisitions or mergers? Are you trying to establish one common way to improve?
• Does your company have a common, well established vision of what you are working to achieve? Is there a common goal?
• Are you unable to agree upon a single improvement method between your company’s divisions?
• Have you tried other improvement methods such as six sigma, 8D, TQM, PMI, IPM, Lamda, Triz and more, only to find that they don’t “fit”, or don’t spark cohesive improvement across the company?
• Do you have a desire and a necessity to be the leader in your industry?
• Is your company successful both internally and externally? Is your goal to remain at the top?

If you Identify with just one of the above statements, then your company will benefit from the guidance and expertise offered through The Lean Experience®®. The only way to accomplish any of these goals is through the engagement of all employees throughout your organization who share the same vision for improvement and work collaboratively to achieve it. This program is designed to target employees in every level of your company, from the new intern to the top executive and provide them will the skills and knowledge necessary to hit the ground running upon their return to improve their work.
