Lean Design - Do-it-Yourself Training Packages

There are times when it makes sense to bring in an "outsider" to stimulate your organization into action, or to address challenging situations that might require extensive customization of tools or methods. For this reason, we offer on-site workshops and consulting services. In many cases, however, you are far better off conducting lean 3P and lean product development training using internal resources. Here are some of the significant benefits of do-it-yourself (DIY) training:

Utilizes existing training and/or improvement personnel in a valuable, high-leverage activity.

Ownership of training materials allows unlimited tailoring, reuse, and adaptation of contents.

Training can be scheduled in small groups (by development team for example) enabling easier planning and a superior learning environment compared to larger, one-time workshops.

Materials can be made available on-line for maximum accessibility over multiple locations.

Finally, the cost per person for DIY training is significantly less than for an on-site workshop.

We offer two versions of our DIY training kit: the Lean 3P / Cost Reduction Training Kit, which focuses on an integrated product cost-reduction methodology, and the Lean Product Development Training Kit, whieh describes a process and key tools to slash time-to-market. Both training packages include multiple modes of learning: guidebooks, a PowerPoint slide presentation with exercises, an automated self-assessment tool, and a web-based video/slide program. We are happy to work with you to determine which training approach will best suit your needs, so feel free to contact us for more information. Note that if you purchase a "team" training kit today, and decide in the future to upgrade to the "enterprise" version, the full purchase price for the team version will be credited toward your new purchase.
