Training Methodology
This Lean Performance Training Course uses a structured yet highly practical learning approach to ensure participants can apply Lean concepts directly within their work environment. The course combines conceptual understanding with hands-on exercises, enabling participants to explore Lean tools, leadership behaviours, and development frameworks in a realistic and engaging manner.

Emphasis is placed on real-world application, allowing participants to connect Lean principles with their organisational challenges, value streams, and performance goals.
The training methodology supports experiential learning by encouraging participants to analyse current practices, test Lean approaches, and build actionable insights. This approach ensures that learning is not only retained but translated into improved leadership capability, stronger people development systems, and sustainable Lean performance across the organisation.
