Which Lean course fits your situation?
A strong Lean course does not start from a certificate. It starts from the question of what someone must be able to improve in practice. Lean Academy therefore uses a clear learning path: principles and basic skills first, then deeper analysis, leadership, strategy and implementation.

When should you choose an open Lean course?
An open course fits individual participants who need a strong foundation or certification, with external cases and interaction with other organisations.
When should you choose in-company Lean training?
In-company training is stronger when several teams need to learn the same language and exercises must be linked directly to their own processes, value streams and management rhythm.
