Lean Awareness Delivery

There are two types of training delivery method we provide for our Lean Awareness Course; Live Online (Instructor Led) & Tailored Training.

Live Online Lean Awareness

Our One Day Live Online Instructor Led training allows learners to access training wherever they are in the world. The training is conducted virtually, with an expert delivery coach who brings the training to life. Being virtual can be less intrusive and more flexible for learners, but still with the same benefits of interactivity, peer learning and insights and networking opportunities.

This is most suitable for individuals or small groups of learners from a particular organisation.

Tailored Lean Awareness

Our tailored training can adopt on-site or virtual training allowing it to remain flexible, however it benefits most by being able to be tailored and relevant to a particular organisation and its needs. It is typically delivered over two days, to allow for this but also incorporate a more in depth exploration of concepts including value streams and managing change.

Whether on-site, virtual or a blend of the two, our training programme will speak to the requirements of both the organisation and the specific group of learners. Training Programmes can be combined too, creating a truly adaptable and bespoke business solution.

Ideal for larger groups (usually six or more) of learners from a particular organisation, whether on the same site or across multiple different sites.

Lean Awareness – who’s it for?

Employees at All Levels:

All employees, regardless of their position or department, can benefit from a basic lean awareness course. It helps create a common understanding and language related to lean principles and methodologies.

Stakeholders looking implement Lean Six Sigma:

Our lean and six sigma programmes are ideal for any stakeholder that is considering the implementation of continuous improvement into their processes and perhaps are looking to roll out training to the wider teams. There’s no better way of understanding the benefit and suitability of a programme than experiencing it first hand.

Managers and Supervisors:

Managers and supervisors are often responsible for overseeing processes and teams. Understanding lean principles can help them identify opportunities for process improvement and lead lean initiatives within their respective areas.
