Understand Lean. Improve office processes. Facilitate collaboration.
The Lean Awareness Workshop imparts the basics of the Lean mindset with a clear focus on office, administrative, and support processes. Through practical examples from administration, documentation, communication, interfaces, approvals, scheduling, and task management, as well as interdepartmental collaboration, participants learn to identify waste and derive initial improvement approaches in their own work environment.
The workshop is ideal as an introduction to Lean Management, for sensitizing managers and employees, and as a kickoff for further Lean training, process optimizations, or improvement projects in the office and administrative area.
Compact introduction to collaboration
The workshop offers a practical opportunity to get to know the topic, trainer, and collaboration — with the option to subsequently add further Lean training or process optimization workshops.
