Lean Leader Training Course

This 2-day course follows on from our Lean Practitioner training course, and gives delegates who are already proficient in Lean the skills and tools to measure process efficiencies and project success.  It includes modules and group work covering subjects such as managing conflict, leadership styles and managing stakeholders for Lean projects and deployment.

After completing the course, delegates will be able to apply their advanced understanding of Lean to champion Lean improvement projects, as well as manage stakeholder requirements and overcome resistance to change.

All delegates will receive a certificate on completion of the course.
