Online Bootcamp, Live-Instructor Led

Program Overview

The objective of this workshop is to help leaders understand conceptual differences between applying lean to their organization vs. integrating it into the business system with the expectation of creating a new problem solving culture, and what changes in their own thinking and behaviors are required so they can effectively support their organizational transformation. In the course of the workshop, we will facilitate reflection sessions to help you clarify the current state of an organization and define the gap between where you are today and where you need to be. We will engage participants into thinking about personal leadership habits and practices, what has to be done as the leader to help your organization make business improvements, and what your individual “gaps” are that need to be closed.
