Introduction:
Lean Champions are the managers and process owners who steer and support the entire Lean
programme toward business and operational objectives. They actively support Lean Experts and
continually work to remove roadblocks to project success.
This course is designed to deliver Lean concepts and tools and to provide Lean Champions with
the overall information needed to implement the Lean programme. Cultural and management
issues are reviewed. Strategic breakthrough problems are addressed in order to overcome barriers
to implementation.
Through classroom exercises participants will learn the planning, leading and implementation considerations needed to drive a successful Lean initiative. This is a practical and thought- provoking “how-to” oriented workshop based on actual experience and success stories. The workshop includes participant exercises, case studies, video clips and sharing of real-life examples and experiences.
