Our training videos consist of real Lean & Six Sigma practitioners presenting information back to the student in a conversational manner.

Perhaps the best way to describe Gemba Academy is to say that we’re Continuous Improvement Practitioners who learned how to make concise, highly engaging, training videos.

Strong Content Development You Can Trust

Experts on Demand. Three leading providers of business transformation knowledge launched Gemba Academy in 2009 with the goal of offering effective and affordable on-demand training.

One of our partners, Kaizen Institute, is deeply involved with all new content development meaning you can rest assured; we stay true to the principles of authentic Lean & Six Sigma.

Lean Learning

How do adults learn most effectively? After much experimentation and research, Gemba Academy has learned that adults learn best in 8 to 10 minute bursts which is precisely why most of our videos last no longer than 10 minutes.

With this said, a 10 minute video is equivalent to a 35 to 40 minute live presentation. Due to the nature of web video, there is zero waste in the learning process resulting in the ultimate lean learning experience.

This reinforces particular learning points for the student and makes learning much more effective. This results in a more engaged and active participant.”
