Lean for Service Training

Lean. It’s not just for manufacturing anymore. It has proven value in services industries including hospitality, retail, financial services, and healthcare. Lean is about speed and efficiency. It focuses on simplification, standardization, and driving work at the pace of the customer. Lean is also a growth engine – developing the capability to grow the business, without increasing costs.

This one-week training program introduces students to the fundamentals of Lean. All content has been tailored to be relevant to transactional business processes and service environments. There is no manufacturing content. The curriculum is highly interactive, packed with exercises to engage the students and facilitate adult learning.

Lean is a great starting point on a continuous improvement journey. It is practical and results oriented, but it isn’t difficult.
