Enterprise Transformation
What is a lean enterprise?
A lean enterprise is organized to continuously identify what customers value, while adapting to market changes. It constantly seeks more effective methods to deliver value and strives to do so at the highest quality and lowest cost:
- Through product and process development,
- During fulfillment from order through production to delivery
- Continually improving the products and/or service’s life cycle
Lean enterprises (both ongoing firms and start-ups), teams, and individual practitioners, undertake lean transformation by endlessly addressing fundamental questions of purpose, process, and people as depicted in the Lean Transformation Framework.
Through Co-Learning Partnerships, LEI helps companies and organizations unlock the potential of their people to have a bigger impact on their customers and the bottom-line, thereby becoming “lean enterprises.”
LEI’s Co-Learning Partner Program is for people looking to impact their enterprise and, in turn, contribute to the lean thinking and practice body of knowledge. Throughout the partnership, you will address your business challenges, meet your business goals, and solve your business problems. Partners working with LEI expect breakthrough performance.
“Co-Learning” means everyone learns from each other. Partners develop their capabilities for innovation, improvement, and problem-solving as LEI provides coaching and guidance. Partners also learn from one another, peer to peer. This approach enables LEI to continually discover and disseminate new ways to advance lean thinking and practice.
A Co-Learning Partnership does not begin with a preconceived plan. Instead, together, LEI and its Partners use the Lean Transformation Framework to define their situational challenge(s) or problem(s) to solve and design a better future. On the path forward, LEI coaches its Partners through the application of lean thinking and practice in the real world. In other words, Partners learn by actually running and improving their business.
By offering targeted, immersive experiences, LEI Coaches ensure you get work done and achieve your business goals WHILE developing your team’s capabilities with lean thinking and practice. This approach ensures that you will sustain your improvements and newly developed, lean know-how. Ultimately, LEI strives to increase the capability of the organization such that its services are no longer necessary. Doing so ensures you can further improve and transform on your own. In every Co-Learning Partnership, LEI’s intention is to develop the organization such that it maintains its capability and further develops independently as soon as possible.
As an LEI Co-Learning Partner, depending on an agreed upon scope of work, you can gain access to exclusive learning opportunities:
- Hands-on, expert coaching to tackle your toughest business problems and develop your organization’s problem-solving capability.
