Lean Team Leader & Facilitator Training

Start off on the right foot or pick up the pace!
The backbone of sustainable Lean transformations 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 team leaders and team facilitators - people who can facilitate, align and focus the processes and dynamics of continuous improvement teams.

"Over the past nine years I have taken several lean explicit courses. (This) overall approach surpasses all of them in presentation, hands-on utilization, and my ability to retain the topics covered. Excellent job!"  Bruce Lusas, Ulbrich Stainless Steels

The CONNSTEP Lean Team Leader & Facilitator Training program integrates presentation, discussion, best practices, role play and exercises to develop the skills necessary for team leaders and facilitators to manage the tasks and lead the people through effective kaizen events.  It is designed to build the knowledge and confident that will enable team leaders and facilitators to create a robust environment for innovation.

When the course is successfully completed, participants will be able to:
  Plan, organize, staff and manage a project team;
  Assess styles and skills to generate and balance team participation;
  Facilitate group interactions to ensure focused, effective meetings that generate innovative
    solutions; and
  Coach team members and leaders.

"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
