Lean Fundamentals Training Series
Performance problems are rarely people problems. They are system problems. Lean helps teams improve the system so everyone can succeed.

- See and define value clearly in your own work.
- Spot delays, rework, and bottlenecks that make people wait.
- Reduce daily frustration by making work easier to do correctly.
- Improve flow step by step so value moves without interruption.
- Find true root causes and prevent issues from returning.
- Think as a system, not as isolated tasks or departments.
- Use technology thoughtfully when the process is ready—so tools help people do the right things with less effort.
- Practice hands-on so learning becomes real.
