The Lean Consortium is a unique concept in business improvement. It brings clarity and maximum simplicity to making improvements, with all the support you want over the twelve month, fixed-price, clearly structured programme. Whatever your needs, we offer a proven, flexible framework that consistently delivers. Here's what we do:
Align improvements to your top business needs
Working with your senior management team we enable them to be effective improvement sponsors and coach them on project selection. This maximises results without taking up too much management time. We also provide strategies to help get the very best out of improvement teams.
Provide support tailored to your company
We recognize that 'one size' doesn't fit all, and that your business has unique needs and issues. Tailored on-site training, consultancy and project support all combine to ensure improvement success. If your main objective is to slash your lead-times, that's what we'll focus on. If your aim is 100% Right First Time quality, we'll show you how. If you need to take out cost, we'll help you find the right way to do this. Whatever your objectives, we'll work alongside you and your people to achieve them.
Working with us and with other companies provides strong external drivers to keep improvements high in your staff's priorities. Because of this, improvements really happen, and really stick. We apply the Plan-Do-Check-Act improvement cycle, and we coach our participants to do the same. Improvement becomes a habit, and that means that it will be sustained.
But don't just take our word for it - over the years hundreds of participants have successfully completed the Lean Consortium.
