Welcome

Lean 2 Innovative Thinking offers clients hands on practical facilitation in improving the performance of their organisation. We use the Lean Philosophy in tandem with the Creativity and Innovation fields as the primary catalysts for performance improvement.

We work with you organisation‘s employees at all levels from senior leadership right down to the people delivering value on the frontlines.

We bring proven success stories from a wide range of industries including, hospitals, manufacturing, office environments, financial services, and logistics.

Lean is a culture enrichment journey that over time changes the thought process of all your employees enabling them to proactively improve their processes and products every day. Lean is in essence working on the work and the systems that support the people doing the work. Our approach is to meet with your leadership team to determine your business priorities and perform an assessment of the current state of your organisation's performance.

We commonly use three audits to perform this diagnostic assessment:

• Lean Assessment (32 Keys to Excellence)

• Creative and Innovative Workplace Study

• Value Stream Mapping

This provides a baseline to clients as to current performance and improvement potential.

A commonly used diagnostic analysis is a Value Stream Map and this enables the development of a future state blueprint and helps us to decide which Lean and Creativity techniques to deploy to realise the full potential of your organisation.
