Welcome

Since our inception in 1999, we have focused our efforts on presenting Lean as a management system and teaching senior managers how to become Lean leaders.

We created the simplest and most practical model of Lean leadership available anywhere. Our Lean leadership training is unique because it is fully consistent with Lean principles, practices, and tools, and it includes specific and practical guidance for daily action.

Our work has been recognized by the University of Toyota as innovative and helpful resources for Toyota associates learning The Toyota Way.

Our books and training are extremely effective at removing barriers to Lean management among all members of the executive team. Leaders of for-profit companies and non-profit organizations select us because they prefer our proven approach to Lean leadership, culture change, and innovation.

Take the next step in your strategic leadership skills development by reading our books and by attending our executive training program.

We teach you how to avoid these and other problems so that you can achieve success with Lean management.
