It has been said by Lean experts that everyone in an organization needs to be a Lean leader – to pursue improvement opportunities within the value stream they are involved in. However, even employees who have been extensively trained in the tools of Lean may feel like they lack the support or the resources to make those improvements.
To truly realize the value of Lean in an organization requires clear leadership, a defined plan, coordination of resources, and robust support systems. CITEC’s Lean Leadership program develops the necessary skills of those leading a lean enterprise to achieve long term success in pursuing lean as a strategic initiative.
Lean Leadership is both a commitment to support the systems that allow the tools to work effectively and to the people who will create the change. CITEC’s Lean Leadership program orients a company’s leadership team on both the management of change and leading the strategic vision of lean. It addresses how to effectively plan the deployment of a Strategic Lean Initiative, managing the change of your people and guide the transition.
Lean Leadership is offered in a variety of formats, including 2-day Lean Leadership Retreats, on-site Lean Leadership Workshops, mentoring and our Lean Leaders / Champions professional development program. To determine the best approach for your organization, contact us.

Lean Leaders / Champions program
This incredibly important series focuses on the management / leadership of a Lean journey for a company. For true success, an enterprise needs to not only create internal Lean capability from the ground up but also develop the critical leadership / management to build that success from the top down.
Based on the work of Steelcase's David Mann, this program is modeled after Six Sigma Champions programs but solely focusing on how to support and lead a lean transformation. Program content is ideally suited for anyone who directs the work of others and will focus on managing implementation, engaging all levels of stakeholders and measuring / accountability. The series of 11 sessions is offered at the same pace / schedule as the LWB & LOWB so that a company's participants in the different sessions can work together for better results.
Through the Lean Leaders / Champions program, you can further develop your capabilities to lead a successful Lean transformation by understanding and applying 11 key tools for Lean Champions. Topics are taught through a combination of instruction, case studies and simulations.
With the demanding schedules of our participants in mind, sessions are offered as half-day workshops at a rate of one per month. Coaching support helps you connect the lessons you learn in the sessions with current efforts at your facility or in collaboration with your attendees in the other Lean certification programs.
