A New Culture of Improvement —
Driven by Your Own Staff
Not driven by consultants or ‘experts’ — but by your people, with real skills applied to real work.
Problem Clarity
Focus on the right problems. Move away from opinion and get real data on your processes.
Process Stability
See how work actually flows — learn where value is in your processes and where it is not.
Follow-Through
Make improvements stick well beyond the training. Build capability that drives further improvement.
Organisational Learning
Create a learning environment where your people continuously improve how they work.
12 Weeks from Learning to Results
Simulation Day
Start with a hands-on Lean Business Simulation. Experience waste, flow, and pull in a safe, practical setting.
Learning Modules
5 workshop days over 12 weeks covering problem-solving, process mapping, standard work, and visual management.
Workplace Projects
Apply every tool directly to a real improvement project in your own organisation — with mentoring support.
Certification
Present your project results, demonstrate capability, and receive your Lean Practitioner certification.






Practical and Grounded
in Real Work
The programme has been shaped by Steve Halpin and an experienced delivery team, through years of working with SMEs across Ireland to build practical improvement capability.
The structure reflects well-established research showing that adults learn best by applying new thinking to real work, with feedback and support — not through classroom training alone.
Real Results from Real People
Great training where you will learn how to eliminate waste and make any process in your organisation more effective.
It definitely helps you to look at things differently and more efficiently. You automatically look at doing things leaner.
The course provided us with the know-how on bringing the theory of Lean into everyday practice.
It taught me to take time out and evaluate processes and look for improvements.
It is a great programme to help you learn how to eliminate waste.
Even if you think the way you are doing something now is the best way, there is probably a better way.
