Overview

Due to human capital and resource restraints felt by organizations across almost all industries, the concepts of lean have become commonplace in the practices of most organizations. Lean concepts seek the maximization of customer value while simultaneously minimizing waste; however, the implementation of these concepts requires strong leadership for facilitating and driving the lean improvements. Most people underestimate the critical role of sound leadership necessary for establishing conditions that enable the success of lean efforts. Establishing and sustaining lean initiatives requires so called ‘lean leadership’ by those individuals in leadership roles. This course focuses on helping leaders, within their teams and organizations, think through a systems perspective, cross divisional boundaries with lean initiatives, develop and support a long-term vision for value-producing processes, and create a culture of accountability that encourages the implementation of lean initiatives. The course also provides participants with best practices for facilitating lean initiatives through both regular and direct involvement, setting the example, and creating long-lasting lean success within their teams and organizations.
