Lean Transformation Summits

Pioneering executives and managers are applying the principals of lean thinking to business processes across the enterprise to improve competiveness and to accelerate growth.  Lean thinking has begun transforming businesses throughout the world just as it has been transforming manufacturing processes for decades.  The realization that lean thinking is not a novelty, but a necessity to stay competitive has changed the way the world does business.  Are you as lean as you need to be?

At the Lean Transformation Summit, learn directly from these pioneering leaders who have had remarkable success using lean thinking to  move beyond isolated islands of kaizen and application of tools, to the use of a lean management system, connecting the enterprise.

The Transformation Summit is two days of thought provoking keynotes, topical discussion, interactive learning sessions, and the industry’s best networking.  There is no better opportunity to forge new relationships, learn from pioneers and veterans, hear and see what’s new and gain new perspectives, no matter where you are in your lean journey.

In Plenary Sessions, you will hear from actual companies describe the essential business cases for the lean transformation, whether it was to  improve profits, productivity, create customer intimacy, why they used lean as a strategy, and how it is transforming the entire business.  In subsequent Breakout Sessions, implementers from each company will follow up on the plenary discussion by providing detailed descriptions of how to’s, what obstacles were overcome and what results were achieved.  You also will have the opportunity to explore innovative tools and applications that might be missing from your roadmap at the interactive Learning Sessions.
