DEVELOPING LEAN LEADERS:
The missing piece in Lean Transformations
Jeffrey K. Liker
Budapest – April 23
If you want to get lean, you need full dedication at the leadership level.
Many companies boast about the results achieved from their improvement programs. Yet, no company in any industry has attained the same level of consistent operational excellence in its field as Toyota has.
What are these companies missing?
The answer is Leadership, with the right skills and knowledge to teach and coach others to use disciplined approaches to process improvement.
