Our
Expertise
BUILD COMPETENCY
As a lean transformation
progresses, organizations must
meet the learning needs of a
growing number of leaders:
•
•
•
•
•
Inpatient Unit Managers
Clinical Leaders
Outpatient Clinic
Administrators
Ancillary Services Leaders
Managers of Support
Departments
Leaders at all levels can benefit
from understanding the concepts
behind lean principles and
methods so they can more
effectively engage their staff
members in important
improvement efforts.
Enhance Your Lean Transformation
The success of a Lean transformation depends on the ability of its
leaders to practice new standards of process delivery and
improvement every day. To accomplish this, leaders at all levels must
have a deep understanding of the key concepts that support the
methods and systems they are implementing and managing.
Gain a Deeper Understanding
Once an organization moves from applying Lean methods and tools to
daily problem solving and coaching and mentoring in the “gemba,”
the need for leaders to understand the concepts behind the tools and
methods at a deeper level becomes more critical. Operational leaders
using and applying Lean principles every day form the backbone of
the sustainment of your cultural and Lean transformation.
