Leading Lean

Establish a meaningful leadership framework to facilitate a stable Lean Transformation.

Course Description

RECENT RESEARCH SHOWS that most companies believe that their lean efforts will fail if one key person leaves. No initiative as important as lean should be so dependent and so fragile. The single most common cause for failure of lean transformation is ineffective leadership. Yet few lean efforts invest consciously and deeply in the necessary leadership capabilities.

Through our experience and research we have developed Leading Lean to focus on the leadership capabilities most critical to lean success. Whether you are a senior executive or a full-time lean champion, this program will help you deliver real change to your organization.
