Context
Enterprises revolve around processes, not departments or organisational charts. Process optimisation is therefore widely used. Only ... the result is not always what is expected. Why is that? Is process optimisation so complex? The importance of lean leadership in a lean environment is critical to the success of a process optimisation effort. This training provides participants with an understanding of their own leadership style and its alignment with an organisational culture working according to lean methodology.
Our approach
- We combine theoretical concepts with practical examples, case studies and interactive activities to enhance the learning experience.
- This training consists of 3 training days, preferably divided into 2+1.
- Participants bring their own cases. Between sessions, the lessons learned can be applied to deepen the understanding of the theoretical techniques.
- In-depth cases brought by the trainers are discussed in small working groups.
- The training offers the opportunity to exchange experiences with other participants.
- The learning experience is supported and enhanced by an online learning platform.
- A training certificate can be provided.
