AREAS OF FOCUS
TALENT SOLUTIONS
Your organization’s strategy and the talent responsible for executing it are essential aspects of a high-performance culture. Which is why, at the onset of your organization’s Lean Transformation, we conduct an Organization and Talent Readiness (OTR) assessment. This enables us to better align your organization with its strategy and identify where there may be critical talent gaps. With these insights in-hand, we use our industry connections and focused talent acquisition approach to source, qualify, and integrate the right people, with the right skills, in the right positions.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
To ensure Lean concepts, processes, and behaviors are successfully understood, adopted, and integrated within your organization, we facilitate different workshops, kaizen events, and highly specialized Lean training sessions throughout your organization’s Lean Transformation.
BUSINESS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
The beating heart of every high-performance culture is a Lean Business System. Which is why, over the course of your Lean Transformation, we’ll build and integrate a custom, results-based business system within your organization—one that connects all your intricate systems and interrelated steps together—enabling you to drive sustained, profitable growth.
