A note to business leaders:

The Bible says God made us in His own image. (Genesis 1:27) This means that God gave you and your people creative and thinking abilities. Lean develops those abilities so your people can serve your customers and improve your processes. Lean gets EVERYONE involved making your business better. Lean turns your team into an “army of improvers.”

In this 2-day Lean Workshop, we’ll learn Lean in a fun, hands-on way.
