Our Services
Membership in Lean Jax connects organizations to a set of offerings designed to build capability, deepen understanding, and support steady progress in continuous improvement.
Each element complements the membership tiers and helps teams learn, practice, and apply Lean in meaningful, practical ways.
2026 Lean Jax Lean Fundamentals Training Workshops
A sequence of twelve, three-hour, hybrid workshops introducing the core principles and methods of Lean.
Participants learn how to see waste, understand flow, apply standard work, strengthen visual management, analyze root causes, and improve quality.
This series creates a shared foundation across roles and serves as the starting point for our Practitioner and Facilitator development tracks.

Lean Leader Meetings
✅ A Lean Leader Meeting is a collaborative, hands-on benchmarking event that brings together leaders and practitioners from organizations applying Lean thinking and practice. These sessions allow members to see Lean in action, learn from real-world examples, share insights, solve problems, and build a strong support network for their Lean journey.
✅ Visit our member organizations and “go see” Lean Thinking and Practice in action.
✅ Benchmark practices, exchange knowledge, and learn directly from your peers.
✅ Implement Lean systems and methods, improve key value streams, solve critical problems, share your learning, and raise the improvement bar across your organization.
We are thrilled to announce that our first Lean Leader Meeting of 2026 will be hosted by Bahri Dental Group on February 12th. You can learn more and register here.
