Course Introduction


A3 8 Step Practical Problem Solving

Skill Level 1: Understanding

A3 8 Step Practical Problem Solving: Skill Levels 1 & 2 Coached

This course will give you basic knowledge about problem solving and then a deeper understanding of how to apply the 8 steps of the A3 Practical Problem Solving Method.

Problem Solving is the number one skill to develop in people who want to apply lean thinking & practise within their organisation.

Why? Because the starting point for lean is understanding what situational problems you need to solve and following a robust method to solve them – rather than jumping to solutions. Therefore, if you can engage everyone in identifying and solving problems you will deliver more value to your customers and organisation.


Skill Level 1 Purpose, Process and People

In Purpose, you will learn about where A3 Practical Problem Solving fits in to the Lean Transformation Framework. Also, why it is so important and the benefits of it supporting People & Organisational Development.

About Our Teach Poster Concept

Where ever possible we try and use a visual “Teach Poster” to explain the subject matter. These are simple, imaged based triggers to remind you of the key concepts and learning points.

From our experience, we have found this to be the most effective way to teach others and enable them to share their knowledge quickly and easily with others.
