Welcome to the Leading with Lean Academy.

Our Founder, Philip Holt, welcomes you to the Leading with Lean Academy.

One of the biggest challenges for any organisation’s Lean Transformation, is building the competence of its people. Classroom training is expensive, whether done in-house or with external providers, and once attended, cannot easily be repeated.

The Leading with Lean Academy provides your organisation with the ability to develop individualised, self-paced, training programs. We can work with you to design hybrid courses, using the online modules for flexibility and significantly reduced costs, combined with focussed live virtual and classroom coaching and training to consolidate learning.

Using the Leading with Lean online Academy provides your organisation with the opportunity to focus your improvement teams on improvement activity instead of training classes.

As your Lean Learning Partner, we can provide your team members with the learning that they need to contribute to the improvement and be active members of improvement activities.​

Your culture change starts with developing your peoples’ Lean Leadership skills.

All of our courses are based upon the training used across multiple organisations, globally, and has been trained to tens of thousands of people in every function of the organisation.

From the Team Leader to the CEO, the Manufacturing Engineer to the HR Advisor, and from Lean Deployment Leader to Head of Business Transformation, completing one of our courses will provide you with the skills that will support you to become the Leader that you want to be.

As we always say, it's about:

"Changing how you Lead, not who you are."

What Industry Leaders say about Leading with Lean:
"THE SIMPLICITY OF LEAN IS AN IDEAL COMPANION FOR THE LEAN PRACTITIONER. WRITTEN IN A VERY PERSONAL MANNER, IT ADDRESSES THE FOUR KEY ELEMENTS NECESSARY TO PUT A LEAN CULTURE IN PLACE. BASED ON EXPERIENCES IN BOTH MANUFACTURING AND OFFICE BASED ACTIVITY, IT EDUCATES THE READER ON THE CORE DEVICES WITHIN EACH OF THESE KEY ELEMENTS. GEMS OF PERSONAL INSIGHT AND REFLECTION WILL MAKE THIS A THOUGHT PROVOKING READ FOR BOTH EXPERIENCED AND NOVICE LEAN PRACTITIONERS."
JON TUDOR - MANAGING DIRECTOR, TRUE NORTH EXCELLENCE AND FORMER PRESIDENT, ASSOCIATION FOR MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE (UK)

"ORGANISATIONAL TRANSFORMATION IS NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE AND EVEN HARDER TO SUSTAIN, NOT LEAST DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE MYRIAD HUMAN FACTORS INVOLVED. LEADING WITH LEAN CONTAINS SOME REAL GEMS, FOCUSED ON PEOPLE ISSUES, MAKING IT AN EXCELLENT GUIDE TO THE TECHNICAL AND SOCIAL APPLICATION OF LEAN."
DAVID BOVIS - MANAGING DIRECTOR, DUXINAROE LTD.

“PHILIP PROVIDES THE READER WITH MORE THAN AN IN DEPTH LOOK AT LEADING WITH LEAN, HE PROVIDES A PROCESS ALONG WITH INSIGHTFUL NEW CONCEPTS TO GRAB THE READER AND BRING THEM MANY REVELATIONS ON LEADING THE LEAN JOURNEY. IF YOU ARE LEADING A LEAN TRANSFORMATION, IT IS A MUST READ FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM."
