Overview
An important cornerstone in the development of lean business thinking is the use of training to establish lean thinking skills.

As UK businesses and institutions struggle with poor productivity there has never been a more important time to develop lean thinking skills.
Some of the world’s leading and most successful companies including; Airbus, Nissan, Zurich Insurance, ensure their employees complete lean training.
