LEAN LEADERSHIP OVERVIEW

For true success, an enterprise needs to not only create internal Lean capability from the ground up but also develop the critical leadership to build that success from the top down.

This incredibly important series focuses on the leadership of a Lean journey for a company.

Program content is ideally suited for anyone who directs the work of others and will focus on managing implementation, engaging all levels of stakeholders and measuring / accountability.
