Introduction to Lean Leadership – Tuesday 24th May

Lean is often associated with the application of improvement tools to eliminate waste within a process by a few subject matter experts.  This approach can deliver some incremental gains, but often it is not sustained and does not create a real step change in business performance.

The role of leadership is key to maximising the benefits of applying and sustaining Lean to help solve business problems. The Lean Enterprise Academy and the wider network of Lean Institutes around the world (the Lean Global Network) has been engaged in researching and codifying the key characteristics leaders need to achieve this.

Objectives

The purpose of this workshop is

  • To help leaders develop organisational and individual capabilities to sustain and expand Lean transformation.
  • Articulate and engage leaders in understanding the fundamentals of Lean thinking and Lean transformation process, and their role in taking an organisation to the next level of performance.
  • Engage leaders in thinking about their business problem situation and their role in addressing it.


Workshop Benefits

Through instruction, small group discussions and exercises, the workshop participants will:

  • Reflect on their organisation’s efforts to implement Lean.
  • Understand the nature of Lean as a methodology of problem solving that helps organisations learn and develop capabilities for growth and improvement.
  • Identify gaps between the current state of the organisation and the desired state.
  • Reflect on their own individual efforts to implement Lean.
  • Understand the key roles, mindsets, behaviours and assumptions of Lean leaders that support the development of a sustainable culture of problem solving.
  • Identify gaps between the current roles, mindsets, behaviours and assumptions and those of a Lean leader.
  • Review those gaps (both at the organisational and individual levels) and develop a plan to close the gaps identified.
