Introduction
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.
Through instruction, small group discussions and exercises, the workshop participants will learn:
- Reflect on their organisation’s and their own individual efforts to implement Lean.
- Understand the nature of Lean as a methodology of solving business problems.
- Understand the key roles, mindsets, behaviours and assumptions of Lean.
- Identify gaps between the current state and desired state of both the organisation and the individual.
- Review those gaps and develop a plan to close the gaps identified.

Follow up (optional)
LEA provides an ongoing mentoring service for organisations involved in making Lean transformations. Lean Transformation Master Plans, supporting A3s & VSM’s developed by the organisation can be reviewed at 30/60/90 intervals. This provides the organisation with help and direction in sustaining the learning from the workshop process and helps highlight further learning opportunities that can be pulled, as and when required, by the organisation.
