Advanced Lean Masterclass

The Essence of Excellence

Starting a Lean Program with a few enthusiasts is easy. Creating a sustainable Lean Program which involves and engages all of the employees is hard. It takes strong leadership, a change in culture, willing people, and excellence across all functions and levels of the organization. Few have truly succeeded in doing this. 

The Advanced Lean Masterclass program has been designed and delivered by Professor Peter Hines to show you how to do this. It is not for beginners. In it, you will learn that the starting point is not the traditional Lean or Six Sigma tools but the identification of the culture you want and the behaviors you need to make it flourish. You will then learn how one of the very best organizations defines and implement 4 Core Operating Systems that are designed to be both technically and behaviourally excellent. Each of these will be reviewed in depth.
