A3 Prob­lem Solv­ing: Craft Clear Solu­tions with Precision

From $89-$99

Learn A3 tech­niques to iden­ti­fy, ana­lyze, and solve prob­lems effi­cient­ly with­in your organization

An A3 prob­lem-solv­ing event is a struc­tured approach to iden­ti­fy­ing, ana­lyz­ing, and resolv­ing prob­lems with­in an orga­ni­za­tion. The term A3” comes from the size of the paper tra­di­tion­al­ly used for this process, which is rough­ly equiv­a­lent to an 11x17-inch sheet. The A3 method was pop­u­lar­ized by Toy­ota as part of its Lean man­age­ment prac­tices and is designed to pro­mote clear, con­cise, and effec­tive problem-solving.

Lead­ing with Lean: Trans­form­ing Tra­di­tion­al Leadership

From $89-$99

Trans­form­ing Tra­di­tion­al Lead­er­ship for Con­tin­u­ous Improvement

Many orga­ni­za­tions are entrenched in tra­di­tion­al man­age­ment sys­tems and often strug­gle to tran­si­tion their lead­ers from con­ven­tion­al meth­ods to Lean Con­tin­u­ous Improve­ment prac­tices. Our sem­i­nar is designed to facil­i­tate this cru­cial transformation.

Our goal is to offer orga­ni­za­tions a new per­spec­tive — the Lean lens. This work­shop is designed to cul­ti­vate a cul­ture of con­tin­u­ous improve­ment, where the entire team is active­ly involved in mak­ing incre­men­tal dai­ly enhance­ments. We aim to empow­er orga­ni­za­tions to devel­op a sus­tain­able Lean cul­ture that dri­ves effi­cien­cy and effec­tive­ness across all operations.
