The Lean Awareness Workshop imparts the fundamentals of lean thinking with a clear focus on business and administrative processes. Using practical examples from process management, collaboration, interfaces, documentation, and process control, 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 process management.
Compact introduction to collaboration
The workshop offers a practical opportunity to get to know the topic, trainer, and collaboration — with the option to follow up with additional lean training or process optimization workshops.
