Most organisations think of Lean as a range of implementation tools and techniques.  These are an important part, as they provide immediate, tangible benefits.  But what about the future?  How can we ensure that the benefits are sustained and that the workforce continues to be engaged with the culture of improvement?  This is where Lean leadership behaviours come into play.

This course will help senior managers to take Lean beyond tools and techniques, get managers at all levels to take ownership of continuous improvement activities and engage the workforce in a way that sustains results.  We subtitle it "leading the Lean lifestyle" because leadership from the top is key to ensure that Lean becomes "the way we do things around here".

This two-day workshop is a natural “next step” to the Staying Lean:Thriving not just Surviving one-day workshop and will examine in greater detail the leadership behaviours critical to driving forward your continuous improvement activity.

Objectives

    This Lean Leadership workshop is designed to give delegates the knowledge of how to apply an holistic (not tool-based) lean approach into their business. This workshop is designed to help senior  managers to understand how they can more effectively develop a truly sustainable Lean Enterprise and the role they need to undertake.


    The Objectives for this workshop are to help senior managers:

    1. To understand truly what Lean Thinking is and how it can be used to provide the basis for a profitable, growing customer-focused business.
    2. To identify where their organisation is on their Lean Journey against the Lean business Model framework
    3. To create a vision for where they wish the business to be within the next 3 years from a lean perspective.
    4. To identify what activities need to be prioritised to help the business achieve this vision.
    5. To start developing a Lean Roadmap for the journey.
    6. To understand the role of the senior team in creating a lean enterprise
