LTLFT:  Lean Team Leader & Facilitator training
Move Your Company in the Right Direction

Why do Lean transformations stall? 
The backbone of sustainable Lean transformation is the team-based culture of continuous improvement.  Training your workforce on the technical aspects of Lean is an important first step along the Lean transformation journey.  In order to sustain the gains, you must also develop key people as continuous improvement team leaders and team facilitators - people who can facilitate, align and focus the processes and interpersonal dynamics of continuous improvement teams.   

"The Lean facilitator workshop enabled us to take our project teams to the next level.  By applying the techniques, we learned how to empower our teams to come up with exciting and creative solutions to improve processes and implement solutions. I would highly recommend this training for beginners as well as seasoned facilitators."    Cheryl Patrick, Electri-Cable Assemblies

The CONNSTEP Lean Facilitator & Trainer Certification program uses a combination of classroom training and group exercises in a team-based environment providing the materials needed to develop the facilitator skill set.  It is designed to provide participants with an understanding of what to do to successfully manage a team event and how to most effectively create a robust environment for innovation.
