Overview
Recent studies say that failure rates for Lean programs range between 80% and 95%! A majority of these failure rates are related to the inability of an organization to sustain the LEAN initiative after initial implementation.
Unfortunately, many organizations fail to sustain these efforts do to a lack of leadership. At Catalyst Connection, we have developed a Leading Lean program that requires our clients to take an objective and sometimes sobering look into their leadership practices. Leadership is built upon trust and transparency which are common themes throughout the training.
Those organizations who embrace such initiatives are truly committing to the success of their organizations and more importantly the success of their people. This program is meant to inspire LEAN practice sustainment throughout an organization.
Leading Lean is designed to provide organizational leaders with the skills needed to successfully facilitate a lean implementation and to support a lean culture post-implementation
