The Lean Global Network
The core group of the Lean Global Network consists of the founding Lean Enterprise Institute in the USA, the Lean Enterprise Academy in the UK and Lean Institute Brazil. They carry the responsibility for thought leadership, developing new products and the organization of the Lean Global Network. Jose Ferro from Brazil is responsible for coordinating the Lean Global Network and supporting the development of new members.
The Members of the Lean Global Network include a growing number of non-profit organizations that are devoted to the promotion of lean thinking throughout the world.
The members are completely independent, but interact on a regular basis. They offer a variety of services across the globe, including translations of LEI books, conferences, training as well as other activities to assist companies making lean transformations.
