Leading Lean

What to expect during the programme

Techniques to improve productivity are never a 'once and done' activity, continuous improvement is an ongoing activity. However retaining energy, ideas and a fresh perspective on our work and productivity is sometimes a challenge. This practical workshop introduces Lean philosophy, processes and practices and can be applied to continuous improvement in any work environment. This programme can be taken as a standalone workshop and it is also part of the NZIML Team Leader Series.
