Accelerating Business Improvement by Creating a Lean Culture
Over the last 20 years, our leading research, consultancy and training within our lean culture practice, has concluded that the emphasis for our clients has moved away from questions like, ‘Where do I start?’ and ‘How do I get trained in the tools?’ to a different set of questions, such as ‘Why am I not achieving as much as I had hoped for?’ and ‘How do I stop things stalling?’
Our experience is that many organisations have thoughtfully adopted the more visible parts of Lean such as the training and application of diagnostic and implementation ‘tools and techniques’ but have done so in isolation of other key areas; in particular, the people element of Lean has often been missed or, at best, underplayed.
Our Lean Culture Offering has been specifically developed to help organisations understand how to correct this and to start developing a Lean Culture using a range of specifically developed personal and organisational assessment and implementation approaches.

“I feel a “sixth sense” has been given to me. I realise that I don’t have to have insight into the specifics of a situation to contribute to resolution. Also…I feel much more in control of my daily interactions with my co-workers”
